If the NBA is a league of parity, we’re clearly not talking about the Eastern Conference. Although it’s true that this segment of the league is essentially up for grabs, that’s because no one team (other than the Cleveland Cavaliers) has established itself as a true contender — the exact opposite sentiment we can claim about the Western Conference.
If the NBA is a league of parity, we’re specifically talking about the Western Conference. Last year saw this segment of the league be as competitive as we can remember in recent history, and the 2015-16 season shouldn’t be any different.
With the 2015 NBA Draft behind us, there’s no more wondering where Karl-Anthony Towns, Jahlil Okafor and D’Angelo Russell will land. Barring an offseason trade, each rookie drafted knows his home, but what we don’t know is who will take away the hardware for 2015-16’s Rookie of the Year.
The NBA draft is designed to introduce new talent to the Association, and there are a handful of teams that fared better than the rest when the big night came to a close in June.
The 2015-16 NBA betting season may be complete, but that doesn’t mean things are slowing down around the Association. The draft has come and gone, free agency is on the horizon and bettors are getting a clearer picture of which teams will be favorites to take home the Larry O’Brien Trophy in 2016.
The 2015 NBA Finals have come and gone. The 2014-15 campaign is officially over. The time is now to recap where teams belong on our year-long power rankings.
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors have been on a crash course to the NBA Finals since the start of the 2015 postseason. The dream scenario featuring Stephen Curry versus LeBron James has finally come to fruition, and those two will lead the way when it comes to betting favorites on the series MVP.
The 2015 NBA Finals matchup is set. It’s the showdown fans everywhere wanted to see. The Golden State Warriors — the best team in the league — is set to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers — the team with the planet’s best player: LeBron James.
We are down to the Final Four for the NBA and as it turns out it is pretty chalky with the top two seeds from each conference remaining.
There are now only four possible matchups for the NBA Finals including the one that everyone has pegged and wants to see ever since Golden State got off to their hot start.
With the second round of the 2015 NBA Playoffs underway, one team stands above the rest when it comes to its chances of a championship. This is the team that won a regular-season best 67 games, and it’s the team who has this season’s MVP taking control of the action every single night.
LeBron James said when we re-signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers that he knew a championship wouldn’t be easy. He didn’t claim to be on the hunt for six, seven, eight titles, as he notoriously did when he arrived in South Beach with the Miami Heat.
Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers gave us one of the best first-round series we’ve seen not just this year, but in recent memory when they took down the San Antonio Spurs in seven games.
As this being written we are in the middle of betting on the NBA conference semifinals but no team is down more than 1-0 in their current series.
The 2014-15 NBA season is 21 weeks old, and the playoffs are creeping up on us. The Western Conference is clearly superior to its counterpart out East, but the competition in both conferences is worth keeping an eye on as the regular season comes to a close.
