The funny thing is all of these sports who's playoffs you get so flustered about have trophies for whoever performed the best during he regular season. They are a big deal, but the real prize is what awaits at the end of the playoffs.
>>68063900
What trophies?
>>68063915
MLB has pennants, NHL has the president's trophy. Only the NFL and the NBA don't award for best regular season record.
>>68063631
Because you can't have more than 16 NFL games or else the players would die so that requires playoffs
Playoff basketball is infinitely better than regular season basketball, I can't think about how much less I would give a shit about basketball if not for eliminations
>>68060941
>>68060941
>>68061812
This shit is so fucked up.
The Thunder are obviously better than the Cavs but are third place because muh east versus west system. The western conference finals was the real finals as far as I'm concerned.
>>68064421
Cavs swept the Thunder this season.
>>68064447
>regular season
>>68064498
Lebron already blew the fuck out out of the Thunder in the finals, what more do you need? What reference point do you have to claim the Thunder are better?
>worse record
>worse head to head
>>68064524
Played 3 times better against the Warriors. You're literally referencing shit that happened 4 years ago and regular season records which means literally nothing in the playoffs.
Kill yourself casual.
>>68064541
>played 3 times better
Are you forgetting that game where they lost by 20 in Oakland? You're a fucking retard making a conclusion after a single fucking game.
>>68064081
But NFL is 70% stoppages and is poor man's rugby anyway, the rugby league system makes sense too. They also have international cups and continental cups, no excuse.
I'm not saying all American sports are retarded, hockey and basketball are GOAT and American football is fun to watch when they actually play, but the play-off gibberish is just bent.
Baseball is fairly rubbish though.

All this may be true, but at least there is constant action in the sport plus I've only watched 3 or 4 nba games and don't follow the standings. I will agree that some players and teams are heavily favoured from what I've heard in passing but that's beside the point, Olympic basketball and the European championships are thrilling.
>>68064591
They blew out the Warriors twice in a row, more than 20, at some points 40.
Not that guy but you're an idiot.
>>68064811
Again
>making conclusions after one game
I'm sure everyone was positive the Spurs are gonna rape the Thunder after game 1.
>Team A gets the most handeggs
>Team B didn't capture as many handeggs
>Team C got 5 hand eggs
>Team D wins
>>68064837
I fucking can't stand when my team doesn't get all of the handeggs
It's all about matchups you retard. Cavs match up very well against the Thunder but not at all against GSW.
>>68064848
But surely not only those 3 teams matter, surely the logical approach would be for all teams to play each other and the one with the most wins would be the best team
>>68064831
Cavs lost to the Warriors bench.
They didn't lose to Curry or Klay, they lost to the fucking team as a whole and played the worse defense I've seen this playoffs by being incapable to shut down most of the role players.
When OKC lost, they lost to Aldridge's 70% FG% iso and Kawhi helping a bit, but they played good enough defense against everyone else, literally the opposite for the Cavs.
>>68064866
They shut down Curry though, something OKC did not manage to do.
>>68064848
No they don't. They did last year but now they've moved to small ball meme point shooting, something that the Thunder are perfectly built to destroy.
>>68064872
They did shut down Curry in most games, it was Klay they couldn't stop because Roberson was their only answer for him and he got in foul trouble most of the time so when he sat down Klay went on a streak.
>cavcucks still think they have a chance
>They also think they wouldn't get BTFO by OKC
Lmao, pathetic
>>68064884
Only reference point we have is regular season and the Cavs killed the Thunder there.
>>68064898
Shh, let them live in their dream world.

And why not? It's still two NBA teams playing a legitimate game.

happened
>>68061895
didn't happen
>>68064955
Hello casual
It's your first playoffs I see. But even that's not an excuse. If you look at this year's playoffs alone you'll see why regular season records don't matter.

Americans DO understand the league system. It's call the "regular season".
And the league system without a playoff system is a shit way to determine a champion. All the league leader has to do is beat up on the scrub teams and hope any close opposition fucks up their games.
