If you were to tell me back in 2017 or 2018 that the NBA would have this much parity right now I’d have laughed you out the door. Well this is the world we live and these are the hands we’re given. This postseason has featured drama and chaos to the bone. If the Finals matchup is any indication, Adam Silver’s plan for unlimited parity has been successful.

Even when the Rockets exceed expectations and emergence into a contender for the first time since the Harden Era, the Basketball Gods gave them the worst punishment of all. Losing to the Golden State Warriors… in the playoffs… in a home Game 7… YET AGAIN! In other words we have found our answer to LeBronto everyone while DubNation gets to dunk on the Lakers failure even more than they already have.

Boy I have been waiting to post this piece of writing from the moment Nico Harrison fell for Adam Silver’s mindcontrol spell at the trade deadline. All of the talk coming out of both Lakers fans and the media about how they were going to steamroll the Western Conference was insufferable. The Shannon Sharpe “Lakers in 5” clips further strengthened my case of wanting them out in the 1st Round. Well I got my wish in the most insane way possible. Alright time to dunk on the LakeShow YET AGAIN!

The NBA has gone under the radar in terms of National Coverage this year but as of right now thats not the case. The playoffs are just getting started and all I know is that there will be excitement and dejection everywhere you look around this league. But I must ask? How will the NBA find a way to join the NFL and MLB in the Predictable Final Showdown Club?

OH BOY! The NBA for a while was probably the only one of the major four sports in America without a true face of the league. Now they have that even though I hate the team who has said player. Because of these events especially involving both LA and the Bay Area, the Western Conference has become an absolute madhouse and its once again up for grabs. GO TO WAR MISS AGNES!

Its honestly interesting that I have done an NBA 2nd Half preview for both BRS and Penn State Sports Night. (Trust me this is better than the efforts I gave on the air) Crazy I know. Anyways, like most of the past few years, this league has turned into chaos and offensive fireworks with no defense at every corner. The Eastern Conference in particular is nothing but that. Except for a few teams.

I’ve been waiting to recap this trade for a long time. And after a certain event that took place recently, I felt it was time to do it. This blockbuster trade not only spanned for an entire decade, but it had a massive impact on where the NBA is today. Nets and Sixers fans, I know you don’t want me to do this, but since Boston just won Title #18, I have to do it. The Bucks and Warriors fan in me doesn’t either, but I must. Here’s how the Celtics got to where they are now:

One team made it to the Finals by getting lucky that they didn’t have to face a superstar and the other has gone from afterthought to 4 wins away from glory in one year. This is what the NBA does to you. I’m so glad that this league has become super unpredictable. And I’m saying this as someone who admires the real reason why the league was super predictable.
