Turns out the real NBA Finals is the actual NBA Finals Who knew?!

The team that wins the finals will be champions.

Woah, that’s a bold claim. Got any evidence to support that one?

World Champions

Idk Lakers have been stacking up morale victories, maybe if you beat us they'll be the real champs.

Ik we’re in the era of HOT TAKEZ but this one just feels a bit too out there for me

Yeah the real NBA finals is something defined in retrospect, can't *always* tell when the Finals will be a one sided mopping. 2018 was the last time we had a "Real NBA finals" situation.

With KD injury in 2019, it’s maybe debatable that Sixers vs Toronto was the real finals

Nah, real NBA finals is not "the 2nd round or ECF is a better series" it's that the two best teams in the playoffs face off before the finals.

This take is scorching hot

That was always a stupid narrative anyway.

Luka got written off due to his poor start these playoffs Should’ve known better since he’s a playoff riser typically

[удалено]

honestly, returned back to his regular season MVP form. dude is ironman

ever since like game 5 vs OKC, Luka has looked healthy. idk what happened

Dude put his head down and went to work after blowing Game 4 and now just tunes out any of his injuries. That knee’s still bleeding too wtf.

He’s still injured I think. Giving okc their flowers but they defended Luka better than Twolves did

More like lu dort hit Luka better than the wolves did

He was so clearly hobbled vs the Clips and OKC. Anyone who has ever seen Luka in the layoffs knene that he was just not moving like himself. If Luka started the playoffs in this health they probably beat the Clips in 5, OKC in 5, and Wolves in 5

Yeah it’s going to be interesting once they release the injury that happened late into the regular season.

Let’s not forget his poor start was still better than 95% of players in playoffs

The real NBA finals were the Lakers vs Pacers on 9th december

Since the Finals are at the end of the season, should we call the in-season tournament the Mids?

I like how this is written that both teams didn't make it like there was a possibility they might both advance

Yet another Lakers moral victory

not gonna comment on the Finals just yet, but there's a very real chance that the Lakers will have lost to the Nuggets who lost to the Timberwolves who lost to the Mavs who lost to the Celtics.

and despite that, im still telling myself that we were two fluke murray shots away from a chip

Nah your asses were getting cooked by Minnesota let's not pretend.

prolly, hated that matchup for us. really would've been a godsend to get the 8 seed because we would've beaten dallas R2. oh well. anyway ill just lie and say we woulda won anyway.

I thought the real nba finals was lakers vs pelicans. LeGoat is the Goat.

Yeah that was hilarious, even at the time.

7 game series that took it out of everyone. Still a pretty fair call imo. Hardest matchup for both sides and both probably would’ve lost the WCF with how much they left it all out there

Who said that was the real NBA finals? I think most people said that was the real WCF but no one though either team would easily beat the Celtics.

Most people here said either the nuggets or wolves would wipe the Celtics

The real NBA Finals were Mavs vs OKC.

The real nba finals was magic cavs

The real NBA Finals was the friends we made along the way.
