    The eastern conference has always been the villain side of the NBA this is nothing different all while most of the western conference has been considered the heroes of the nba it's truly something to peak at.

    Jrue Holiday without a doubt was the best offseason acquisition, now he’s a 2 time champ, Giannis undervalued this man

    If Luka and Kyrie is the Best Offensive Backcourt of All time this 2 is the best Defensive Backcourt of All time.

    Celtics won their last title on 6/17/2008
    Monday is 6/17/2024
    Boston area code is 617
    It's all part of the script. The NBA is rigged.

    A while later into Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts…
    Mike Breen: 6.5 seconds remain on the clock as the Los Angeles Clippers lead 107-78 thanks to their new friend, Temporary Los Angeles Clipper #27, Empress Madame Ninja Barrett. Little is known about this sports starlet from the wrestling circuit other than her signature ability to read the patterns of her opponents. This is now her ninth consecutive NBA Finals appearance with at least several different teams.
    Empress Madame Ninja Barrett: (with the basketball in her possession, clearly preparing herself to end the series in favor of the Los Angeles Clippers.) pants Okay. You can do this, Ninja. Time to finish this and secure the ninth ring. Hold on a moment, everyone. I need to get into my Curse Breaker mindset for this. unleashes a Super Saiyan scream (goes Super Saiyan, much to the surprise of both teams, catching them completely off guard.) Alright. Let's just do ourselves a favor and get this over with. My patented special shot. I call this one the Curse Breaker's Drought Quenching Kiss of Death. (throws her special shot from the half court line and watches as it goes in.) Hopefully, that should finish them.
    Mike: It's now 110-87. I don't know what's happened, but they've now soared into a staggering lead.
    buzzer sounds
    Mike: And for the first time in franchise history, the Los Angeles Clippers can call themselves NBA Champions.
    Doris Burke: And more importantly, Mike, Ninja remains absolutely perfect. 9 straight champipnships in 9 straight Finals appearances.
    Ninja: (reverted to normal, wipes the sweat from her brow and gracefully drops the basketball onto the floor.) dusts off her hands Well, I've got a feeling that this will make for an interesting MVP conversation. chuckles to herself (sees her fellow Los Angeles Clippers approaching her.) Oh, I guess that takes care of that.
    Kawhi Leonard: I guess so.
    James Harden: Well, you certainly gave the Boston Celtics a show they won't be forgetting anytime soon.
    Russell Westbrook: Judging by your performance, I wouldn't put it past you if you somehow become the Finals MVP over Kawhi Leonard.
    Ninja: No, I have a feeling that he'll still get the Finals MVP over me somehow, but we'll see what my dear friend, NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver says, considering the fact that he'll now have the deciding vote for the seventh time in nine seasons.
    Paul George: Oh, that's true.
    Daniel Theis: Wait. So, how many points did you end up getting us?
    Ninja: 23 points.
    P.J. Tucker: Whoa.
    Ninja: snaps fingers (as she changes back into her normal wear, which consists of the black metallic General Manager's outfit, the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship around her shoulder, the black metallic TNA General's coat and hat, the Constable of SmackDown medal around her neck with the red heart locket, the Snake Amulet and the Lone Wolf amulet pendant also around her neck, the full body armor set based off of the Bane of Darkness Spirit, Galeem, which was fused with the light of Ultra Necozma, Ashrah and Fused Zamasu and the black metallic hitman's outfit.) Ah, much better. Okay. I think I'll just stick around for the trophy presentation and then, just go.
    Mason Plumlee: Alright.
    Xavier Moon: Okay.
    Ninja: (turns toward the Clippers Head Coach.) Coach, I sincerely hope that I didn't inadvertently make the next family gathering too awkward between you and your cousin.
    Tyronn Lue: Don't worry, Ninja. I think I can attempt to minimize the awkwardness between Tatum and myself.
    Ninja: I'll see to it that you do for your sake, Coach. hears a pair of individuals calling out to her Hold on. (looks over and sees two gentlemen approaching her.) Is that who I think it is? (approaches the two gentlemen and embraces one of them.)
    Adam Silver: (returns the embrace of his dear friend.) My friend, you killed it.
    Ninja: Thank you, Monsieur Silver.
    Adam: You did so good. Oh, (as he motions toward the Head Coach of the Golden State Warriors.) I think someone else also wants their hug.
    Ninja: Oh. (as she embraces her mentor, the Head Coach of the Golden State Warriors.) Hey, Monsieur Kerr.
    Steve Kerr: (returns her embrace and gives her a peck on the cheek.) I'll gladly echo the sentiment of whatever Commissioner Silver just said.
    Adam: So, this officially makes it your ninth straight championship in your ninth consecutive Finals appearance.
    Ninja: Indeed, Monsieur Silver.
    Adam: Wait a minute. Kerr, I think this harkens back to what you said last year about how Ninja's mentally tougher than the champions of the opposing conference.
    Steve: You're right, Commissioner.
    ???: (approaches them.) speaks in a familiar voice Let's see LeBron James and Shannon Sharpe claw their G.O.A.T. case back from the depths now.
    All: (see the individual approach them.)
    Ninja: Wait a minute. Monsieur Bayless?!
