That doesnt make any sense. Lebron and kevin durant are playing basketball on your TV. Thats must watch. Just because the score isnt as close as you want it doesnt mean its bad basketball. These teams are both doing things that nobody else can do, its incredible to watch.

If you think its unwatchable, what youre saying is that you'd rather watch a girls high school game thats ends at 30-29 instead of the best basketball players in the world ballin out every night.

ETA from later post: Maybe i erred in assuming that the people who claim to not enjoy these finals also claim to be fans of the game? many "fans" only watch for entertainment value instead of the art that is happening on the court

It's almost like people enjoy watching different things.

old school guys want to see defensive slobberknockers where they resembled street fights and still put up 130 points a game.

No. What makes it unwatchable is that it's the NBA.

I actually didn't watch other than a handful of possessions due to the Cubs and LSU playing.

Just because that's your conclusion, doesn't make it correct. I love the NBA and will be the first to admit this is a letdown. Anyone that truly is indifferent to who wins and still claims to enjoy watching blowouts is straight up lying.

Golden State is now Uconn of women's basketball. Nobody likes a finals sweep unless you're a fan of GS

Stop trying to polish this turd known as the NBA

NBA is a joke and these finals are a joke because of the way the league is structured and ran not because of the actual finals matchup

When you know the finals matchup before the season starts that means the league has no competitive balance

Not saying it's bad basketball.

The GS offense at its best is fun to watch, but also made for a boring 1st 2 games where you never really felt like CLE had much of a chance.

NBA is worse than the WWE

WWE at least admits it is scripted

This series had been hyped up since last summer. Cleveland is winning the next 2 because that is what the NBA wants

I really enjoy watching GSW play. I love watching LBJ play, I just wish the teams were equally matched. It is clear the GSW are heads and shoulders above the Cavs.

I just hate how the league doesn't have much parity. You have Golden State, Cleveland, and San Antonio. That's literally it. No other team has a legitimate shot.

But it is bad basketball. GSW won by 19 last night with 20 turnovers and some of the sloppiest ball handling and passes I've ever seen and they only win cause they chunk a load of 3s and the Cavs can't play defense against young teams that can run cause their old.

Its bad. Bad that, the Warriors had to stack up to beat this old team and that nobody in the East is anywhere near close enough to stand up to a team that can't defend the Run and Gun.

I love the NBA, love basketball, but no defense, a bunch of bad shots and turnovers can not be made up for by some of the best players in the world, you should not make those mistakes if you are the best players in the world unless you're under intense defensive pressure and the only time I've seen that is when Klay Thompson and Durant have stepped up on D, part of why these are such blowouts.

Generally, people don't like watching blowouts.

Crazy, I know.
