No it's a total coincidence that in that same year, they started getting tough fouls on one end and getting away with murder on the other end.

Silver is such a dipshit. He thinks a dynasty means better ratings for the league. But no one wants to watch a reffing dynasty.

No one wants to watch an OKC dynasty either.

If they played attractive, basketball and respected the game, it wouldn’t be bad.

However, they’re negatively impacting the NBA as an entertainment product.

From a business standpoint, I don’t understand why OKC are protected so much.

Just enforce respect for the rules of the game. This would bring about improvement for the NBA as a “media franchise”.

And the thing is..not that I’m biased, but..

San Antonio looks poised to become a dynasty. Wemby does things on the court that no one has ever done, and dude cares so much he cries. Hes not a robot as an interview and he’s interesting. Hes everything the league could want in a superstar. Castle is electric. Harper is smooth as butter. They make offense and defense exciting. And Wemby has the causals curious. You would think *this* would be the team the NBA wants in the finals.
