The Warriors are headed to Game 7 of the NBA Finals after LeBron James blew up, Draymond Green served a one-game suspension, and Andrew Bogut suffered a season-ending injury all while Harrison Barnes is a no-show. Exciting times.
Prior to Game 6 of the 2016 NBA Finals, I wrote — and said on our podcast — that the 2016 NBA Finals had become boring not because of the lopsided outcomes but mostly because it seemed that there were no other adjustments to be made for either team.
In fact, it seemed difficult to remember a Finals series in the last decade that could so easily be understood to the outside observer.
