Reply to comment by paperclipknight in Heat place literally every player on injury report after receiving NBA fine ahead of Mexico City game by XXmynameisNeganXX

I think the amount of player movement undermines team rivalries a bit. Like back in the days of Knicks-Heat, there was seven years of Ewing vs Mourning. Roster stability really helps.

Somewhat so though arguably because the NBA is almost pathologically committed to player rivalries - it’s always “LeBron vs Steph” & never “Tonight the Knicks play the Nets in the New York derby, who’s going to be the kings of NYC”

Lakers celtics is always great. Granted they both usually have at least decent teams.
