The Nbas Final 4 is set up: Thunder, Knicks, Wolves and Pacers remain again, and parity reigns again

The parity era continues in the NBA. The New York Knicks has not won an NBA championship since 1973. The Indiana Pacers won their most recent title that year – in the ABA. The Oklahoma City Thunder -Franchise has one title in its history, which came in 1979 when the team called Seattle home. And the Minnesota Timberwolves have never been to the NBA final. Meet the final Four of the NBA. When commissioner Adam Silver handed one of the teams to the Larry O’Brien Trophy next month, it will be a league first-Seven Championship Franchises in a seven-year period. There has not been a back-to-back NBA champion since Golden State in 2017 and 2018. From there, the list of champions is as follows: Toronto in 2019, the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020, Milwaukee in 2021, Golden State in 2022, Denver in 2023 and Boston last season. It is the longest such different champions in NBA history; Major League Baseball, the NHL and the NFL all had longer, and not too long ago. But for the NBA it is different. The league wanted unpredictability, especially after four consecutive Cleveland vs.-Golden state title matches from 2015 to 2018. And things have been very unpredictable ever since. No matter what the final is this year, the NBA will see 11 franchises for conference champions in the seven seasons team. “We have achieved eight more wins to achieve our ultimate goal,” said Minnesota coach Chris Finch. “We have two more series. We are only halfway there. ‘ The season is over for 26 of the NBA’s 30 clubs. But the nice things just start. The Western Conference Finals – No. 6 -seed Minnesota against no. 1 -Sead Oklahoma City – Starts in Oklahoma Tuesday night. The Eastern Conference Finals – No. 4 seed Indiana against no. 3 -Seed New York – starts in Manhattan on Wednesday night. The wolves lost the West Finals last year; The Pacers lost the East Finals a year ago. “You have to have big dreams,” said Pacers coach Rick Carlisle. “You don’t know how often you will be in this position.” Indeed, the championship window for teams does not look open as long as in the past. Boston was a big favorite to win his second straight title; The Celtics did not come out of round 2, partly because they could not hold big clues and partly because Jayson Tatum broke his right Achilles test in that series with the Knicks. “Or or not, whatever it is, we beat a wonderful team,” said Knicks’ guard Jalen Brunson. “Of course, they lost a big piece … but they are still a wonderful team.” Damian Lillard tore an Achilles pest in round 1 and ended Milwaukee’s hope. Cleveland, the top seed in the east, bent out in round 2 against Indiana after a number of Cavs had to deal with health issues. Stephen Curry stretched his hamstring; That was all it needed to do Golden State’s chances in round 2 against Minnesota. “He is our sun,” Golden State coach Steve Kerr said. “It’s a solar system. He is our sun. ‘ And now the NBA Sonnet system is about to see new star holding the trophy. There is no one left in these play -offs that were an MVP of the NBA final. Not even close. In fact, there are only seven players left – Pascal Siakam, Aaron Nesmith and Thomas Bryant, Indiana, are over; Knicks teammates PJ Tucker, Cam Payne and Mikal Bridges; and Alex Caruso of Oklahoma City – which appeared in a final. And most of this look did not do much; Siakam is the only player left in these play -offs with more than 100 finals. So who will be the next final MVP? Maybe Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Canadian wait and probably MVP of thunder? The winner of the ‘Mr. Clutch ‘winner, Brunson of the Knicks? Anthony Edwards, the next face of the League of the Timberwolves? Tyrese Haliburton, the brilliant guard and the Olympic gold medal overlooked by everyone outside Indiana? None of them would be surprise choices. “Our ultimate goal is not just the Western Conference Finals,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “You have to go there to get there.” If the NBA Final Four was its own league this season, it would be the clear favorite to take the results of the head-to-head between the four clubs. Oklahoma City led 6-2 against the other three conference finalists, while New York and Indiana both led 3-4 and Minnesota led 3-5. The thunder swept the Pacers and Knicks, and the Pacers swept the wooden wolves. As for the head-to-head, Oklahoma City and Minnesota divided four meetings-with the Timberwolves who surpassed the Thunder 475-472-while the Knicks were 2-1 against Indiana, with all three games with at least 11 points. “You can feel good about it, feel how you want to feel about it,” Haliburton said he got to this point. “But at the end of the day we are not done. We know that we all have a bigger purpose. Our goal was not just to come to the Eastern Conference Finals and finish. Our goal is to win a championship. ‘ ___
