The NBA Playoffs have been relatively drama-free in both conferences.

We did have some great battles in the first round, but the second round was fairly lackluster. Now the New York Knicks have already found their way into the NBA Finals for the first time in decades. Their opponent is still to be decided as the Oklahoma City Thunder are a game away, and the San Antonio Spurs need to win the remaining two.

The Thunder continue to be the team everyone loves to hate. It happens with most champions or dynasties, but this isn’t a dynasty. The Thunder have won one championship and have all the pieces and picks they need to be successful for the next few years. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has won back-to-back MVP awards. But, it is too early to call this a dynasty. This team is not liked because they play a brand of basketball that people just don’t seem to like.

I suppose there is some reason to understand it. Gilgeous-Alexander does fall down a lot. He does look for fouls to be called. He doesn’t have a ton of flash, and sure, he probably wears what most would consider weird clothes to the game. But what I find most funny is that people complain about the amount of threes players take. Gilgeous-Alexander is one of the few mid-range guys in the league, and people hate his game. Sometimes you can’t win – especially with those who just watch a couple of clips on X to form their opinion.
