Houston vs Golden State

[Crimson's Ghost]

The thing with the NBA, the best players and best teams always rise to the top.  Same can't be said for the other professional leagues.  Baseball and Hockey playoffs can be unpredictable.  The NFL is a little of both.

Idk if I agree with this at all. The west is clearly better than the east, cleveland definitely wouldnt make it past round two there.
Also in the NBA their soft cap system is letting all these top teams become super teams with a bunch of all star talent. Its getting somewhat ridiculous

The best team is going up against the best player, what's there to even disagree with? 

[konjo78]

Well you said best players and best teams. Well the final 2 are not the 2 best teams by far... Thats the whole point of the argument there?

[Crimson's Ghost]

The Golden State Warriors are the best team in basketball. They’ve been to four straight NBA Finals.

LeBron James is the best player in basketball. He’s made the finals for the 8th straight season.


That is literally what I said, “the best teams and best players always rise to the top.”


What part of this are you missing?

[konjo78]

Well teams is a plural word and we dont have the best teams... Also its hard to be impress with 8 straight finals when the east has far and away been a B level conference in the west.

[Crimson's Ghost]

Well the NBA Finals pits one team from the Western Conference versus one team for the Eastern Conference. So in some cases, yet the two best teams can't play in the NBA Finals due to geography.

[konjo78]

True but I cant of another professional league where one conference is so far ahead of the other competitively. Which kinda defeats the praise you were trying to make

[Crimson's Ghost]

I wasn't praising anyone. I just said the NBA generally gets the best teams and players involved in their championship more than some other sports.

[konjo78]

Which turned out to be not true at all.

[konjo78]

I feel like the NHL and NFL are way above the NBA in that category for sure

[Crimson's Ghost]

LeBron James is the best player in basketball, he's in the Finals every year. So it turns out to be true. Imagine that, you being wrong.
