It does look like that Warriors will play Bucks in the finals. Warriors probably win again. There is a reason why NBA is the most predictable of all US sports. 

 

Not very sure about this especially if Durant will miss some games of Western Conference final

Because it's most dependant on single players' performance. Plus these mega stars actually run these teams these days. In playoffs you hardly play with more than 8-9 core guys anyway. NBA always had the longest-tenured dynasties save maybe for the Yankees in MLB and some of the NHL when the league only had like 6 teams for decades.

I would love Denver to do something vs Warriors, but they're just out of their league.

It's due to the system of competition as well. In NFL you have single elimination games, in MLB you have wild card one game elimination and best of five series. In the NBA everything is best of 7, so it's hard for an outsider to win entire series, 4gms in a week or two against a better team, quality surfaces eventually.

Max free agent contracts changed everything. Until the early 00s top stars were one-team exclusive players. When Kevin Garnett joined Celtics it was the first real domino to fall and with Kobe & Duncan retired that old formula is extinct. Besides the salary cap in NFL handcuffs everything, there are too many positions there that can expose you as a team. In NBA you need 4-5 shooters and you're instant contender, you don't even have to play any defense these days.
