>>5704595Adam Silver can't book main events for shit.
>2014: Spurs go over HeatDavid Stern's idea since he only retired a few months before the Finals. Smark favorite Kawhi gets the rub leading a cast of grizzled old vets on the verge of retirement. Paved the way for LeBitch's reunion with Cleveland. Reminiscent of the 2004 Lakers demolition.
>2015: Warriors over CavsGiving the rub to another smark favorite stable, this time with LeBron as the pivot. Not a bad booking choice. The Warriors are getting the new arena push.
>2016-2018: Let's run this shit into the groundWarriors go over the Cavs more convincingly each time with only a pity run for LeBron to break up the monotony. They're really getting rewarded for that new arena and everyone was sick of it before rematch #3 was over.
>2019: Raptors over WarriorsStretched this shit out over 6 games when everyone wanted see Kawhi booked for a 4 game squash. Warriors finally lose after shitting up the main event scene for a half decade and it wasn't nearly satisfying enough.
>2020: Lakers over HeatLeBron gets a Mickey Mouse ring. He goes over... his former coach who leads a stable of forgotten upper-midcarders? For Kobe? What the fuck were they thinking?
>2021: Bucks over SunsSilver hits the panic button on declining small market team valuations. The smaller market team goes over. Chris Paul's character arc is the only intrigue here. No one wanted this.
>2022: Luka in the Dirk spot or Overpushed Memechuckers who are somehow in the main event mix again vs. Literal Whos or the Miami CastoffsGrim.
