That's pretty much precisely why I can't get into the NBA at all anymore. It's by far the most predictable of the major sports. Most years you can skip right past the regular season and even half of the playoffs and end up with the exact Conference Finals matchup you would have predicated the previous summer.
A lot of purists actually like that about the NBA, how there are so few playoff upsets and allows you to focus on the few contenders every year. But it does nothing for me.
