Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2163758, member: 488"] I was on the fence about this before, but watching how good the Warriors look, it's clear to me that Durant going there was just flat out bad for the sport. Don't get me wrong, it's cool to watch, and it remains to be seen how things play out, but right now, the optics aren't good. Not for him, not for the league. We're potentially missing out on what could have been two epic re-matches (OKC vs Golden State in the conference finals and then potentially GSW-CLE the rubber match in the finals). He obviously has his rights and in a weird way I respect him for doing this knowing he was going to get killed for it, but it doesn't seem to be working out for the league from my eyes. You took a league where four or five teams could have won the title - GS, OKC, SA, Cle, maybe LAC or HOU - and reduced it to a product that feels too UConn women's'ish to me. [/QUOTE]
