But how are the 2015 NBA playoffs a fucking clown show?
Pressing
Every team left is horribly flawed. Someone has to win the title but I don't see a team out there that deserves it.
Bump
So you're saying that all you need to win the finals this year is 12 bums and a king?
The AAU/NCAAification of the NBA is complete.

Blame the salary cap and max contracts.
As long as there are max deals, whatever team LeBron plays for will have an advantage because they are getting a $50M player for $20M, basically getting $30M in extra cap space. They can afford to have their number 2 and number 3 scorer go down, and still win.
I don't know if Curry or Durant or whomever is the second best player, but I do not remember the gap between Jordan and another Dream Teamer being as significant as the current gap between James and the second best player.
BronBron and a bunch of dudes may not always be the best team like they are this year, but they will always be good enough to get to the finals.
LeBron's teams have been good enough to make the finals 5 straight years. I doubt anything changes next year. They don't have any competition in the East, and neither did the Heat except for the Celtics one year.
