A Timeline of The NBA Western Conference In The Last Decade (NBA 2010s)

[@Dom2k16]

Thanks to Skillshare for sponsoring. The first 1000 people who click the link will get 2 free months of Skillshare Premium: skl.sh/dom2k3 I wanted to get in depth in this review of the conference, so obviously it'll take more than one part (I don't do 40 minute vids sadly) Also, I completely meant to edit out the part where I said the Grizz swept the Spurs, they beat them in 6, I haven no clue why I said sweep. The emphasis there was supposed to be that an 8th seed beat a 1st seed smh Twitch: Twitch.tv/dom_2k Second channel: KZbin.com/dom2k Music: chernebeats.com Business email: [e-mail] Facebook: facebook.com/dom2k16 Twitter: twitter.com/dom_2k Instagram: instagram.com/dom_2k Snapchat: Dom_2k

[@ADESpider96]

Is there will be a part 2?

[@N8veJay]

I disagree with the Mavericks, I feel like you undersold the Suns who I naturally saw them being a great threat against the Lakers since Game 5 was won by a tip in that gave the Lakers a huge momentum to Game 6. Plus they swept the Spurs who always bodied them past playoff series. Nothing weird seeing the Suns in the Western Conference Finals.

[@maul5832]

I remember when the warriors first made the playoffs. Me and my uncle were so excited bc we finally had something to look forward to. Every year he’d say “dont worry we’re gonna get better next year” and we literally did, year after year. Watching the warriors grow from the ground up will always be my favorite sports memory..then we became the most hated DYNASTY. I loved it but its not over yet.

[@ZackSlayz]

Maul it is over

[@jordandwiggins1026]

Zakashii Z Once the players are healthy they will still have the same trio from the first couple years of the dynasty, what’s stopping them from being a contender again?

[@jordandwiggins1026]

Legacy Because they totally didn’t make two finals without him or anything

[@jordandwiggins1026]

Legacy So the fact they went up 3-1 in the Finals without KD is your argument why they can’t be a contender without him? Especially since KD himself went up 3-1 that very year and lost to the Warriors.

[@jordandwiggins1026]

I’m not saying they will be as good as they used to be but it wouldn’t surprise me for them to be a contender if their core trio and Coach Kerr are still in tact. Now, many of their role players and other pieces are missing so we’ll see how it plays out, but one year of injuries isn’t enough to take them out of contention just like that. If they stay together they’ll still be a threat for a while

Western conference and the AFC are the most interesting conferences in there respective leagues.

[@dylanf3108]

Jacob Bekele NFC isn’t because there really is no consistency. The Saints are the only team that’s consistently been good maybe the Vikings, but the rest of the conference is wildly inconsistent which doesn’t make for interesting narratives or multi season storylines whereas the AFC has always had powerhouses which makes for more compelling games played.

[@petersonofleo11]

2000s AFC was better than 2010s. 2000s AFC had the Patriots, Manning, Steelers, Ravens, LT Chargers, early Titans and some other grear teams. NFC was inconsistent last decade the only consistent teams last decade were the Seahawks and the Packers. Most superbowls teams from the NFC were great one year then were bad the next season like the Giants, Panthers, Falcons and the Eagles.

[@dylanf3108]

Pedro Arciniega 2010s still had Lucks Colts, Reid’s Chiefs, the Patriots (obviously), Bens Steelers, The Ravens, Peytons Broncos (although it didn’t last particularly long), and the Bengals who made the playoffs the entire first half of the decade even if they never saw success they were still consistently good.
