Official NBA 2018-2019 Thread - the end of the regular season is near
Right. But even though the Pats have dominated the AFC they still can be beat. They still may not get to the Superbowl. They have been stopped a number of years. No one can stop Golden State. It's not even close. Niggas don't play any kind of defense, faggots need rest. Can't play no more than 70 games. Fuck these pussies.
This
I think this is why some cities struggle to develop a strong and stable fanbase for basketball. Combine that with the issue of market size and ESPN creating and pushing storylines and agendas.
You can't have Stephen A. Smith shitting on small markets and then have Jeff Van Gundy castigating southern cities for not supporting their teams, when these fanbases know their squads will only go so far and their superstars are always be apart of trade speculation.

60s bostonExactly, super teams ruined the NBA, coupled with league expansion and rules limiting your ability to slow down these cats.
But to be honest, their have always been dominant teams in every sport.
We can't sit here and act like the Patriots have not dominated the AFC for the last 17 years or so. Jordan took all the intrigue out of the NBA during the 90's, even I got tired of seeing Jordan win after he came back, and won back to back. Also, won 10 straight scoring titles to go along with it, that shit was too damn predictable every fucking season.
Lakers were a super team too in the 80's, a lock to go to the Finals. At one time, they had the all time leading scorer and all time assist man all time, at the time, on the same damn team.
80s Lakers
90 bulls
00s lakers
10s Warriors
Fools act like dominant dynasties are new and bad for the game
No one making an attempt to play defense is not entertaining. This is the worst I've ever seen it. Niggas running right by for layups over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. 35 ft 3's are fuckin absurd. Niggas who have no business taking 3's are shooting. This does not excite me!!!
Definitely hard to watch, if you are a fan of fundamental basketball. All these 3's by non shooters is ridiculous.
When I came up, only "3 point specialists" were really allowed to take more than a couple on 3's a game. We were taught as a kid, that it was a very low percentage shot just to get 1 extra point.
These cats do not play defense, partly because of the rules and lack of toughness, and lack mid range and go-to moves.
Watching the regular season is a waste of time, unless you are just following young players to see how they develop.
Go back to those years and you had more teams you still wanted to watch even though they weren't going to win the title. In the 80's you would love a Boston- Atlanta matchup on a Wednesday night. Let me ask you.........how excited you are about a Magic-Nets game on a Tuesday. I really believe expansion fucked up the league as well. there are too many teams and players who don't fuckin belong in the league. More doesn't always mean better.
We gonna act like Milwaukee ain't suck for 30 years?Go back to those years and you had more teams you still wanted to watch even though they weren't going to win the title.

Lakers, rockets, boston, philly, raptors... it's some damn good teams out there
Yeah, that shit been around.
Jordan really shitted on the league like no other.
He dominated the sport, the individual shit, and the shoe game like nothing you will ever see in 2 lifetimes.
Nobody even threatened his crown in his prime. No matter who he played against or beside, he was clearly always the best on the court, and players feared him.
We found the guy who can take down the Dubs....lmbao!
To go even further niggas don't even know how to properly box out or even feed the post. Can't even set a screen right. Niggas don't pick up the ball handler till the opposite 3 point line. They don't communicate on defense. Have no idea how to hedge on a screen. How is this shit exciting? Constantly when a big man gets position in the post he gets a fucked up pass and has to reposition himself and lose the position down low he already had. Pick and roll play is not used as often as it should be. Just fuck the way this shit is played completely.Definitely hard to watch, if you are a fan of fundamental basketball. All these 3's by non shooters is ridiculous.

Real talk... he concerns me.
He runs the locker room and suddenly dudes ain't trying to resign.
Doubt seriously that he resigns with Dubs though

Homie would have had 8 straight had he no got suspended... I mean retired those 2 years

Lol. I feel you, but this is where we at in today’s era.
And I’m definitely not going to stop watching because the league has changed. I don’t watch football anymore, so this is it for me. Either the NBA or The Black Crew. Lmaooo
That Houston team would have been a problem for them I believe. I would have liked to see that. Jordan never went up against a dominant big in the finals that's the only thing.
Its funny how this is never mentioned during debates.
Would have been 8 straight Finals MVPs and 12 straight scoring titles, in 13 full seasons.
And the funny thing, cats still doubting what he did, in front of everybody's fucking eyes.
I cannot believe I'm a warriors fan.
Cause I just love watching the monstars.
And they still haven't incorporated Boogie.
And low key Iggy may actually be the most important piece
And quiet is kept I have NO IDEA if Kerr is actually a good coach.
Could he do THIS with the current rosters in Boston? Bucks? Denver? Utah? Toronto? New Orleans?
They will make playoffs just will be a low seed. I think they will be an average team. Offensive will be ok and defense will be ok. Nothing great. I still don't think the personnel fits together though....

From 1950 something to 1990 the Lakers or Celtics were in the hunt and gonna get rings
This shit ain't new
Super teams aren't new lol
Magic Kareem worthy and them weren't on separate teams lol
It's just revisionist stuff in the nba
And if the warriors had a Celtic on their jersey or laker on the front nobody would complain
The reason it's a problem is because it's a team that was historically bad that actually said fuck that and pulled themselves up to the top
Like the rest of the bottom teams claim they're trying to do but never ever ever come close
He'll get more if KD leave
He averaging 35 with kd on the court now tho lol
Lies
Kerr's offense is the entire difference
It's so good that he doesn't have to be there to run it it's a curse on him but a testament to it
McGee is a starting center because Kerr put him in positions to change his entire life.
New Orleans has kerr assistant Gentry running his offense right now doing what?
Jordan was unstoppable... it would have been great to seeThat Houston team would have been a problem for them I believe. I would have liked to see that. Jordan never went up against a dominant big in the finals that's the only thing.
If Iggy plays in the WCF it's over in 6, MAX. Draymond is Key as well he allows Curry and KD to slip on defense
Cant take away what Ker does to manage the talent...
Look at the difference in KD from when he was with OKC. He plays with jn the system and am has learned that 1 on 5 ball doesnt win.
Nonsense is flying all through this thread.
Curry looks other worldly again, he keeps this up he should get the MVP
NEW ORLEANS -- Jrue Holiday highlighted a 26-point performance with a pull-up jumper near the foul line with 2 seconds left, Anthony Davis stole Brooklyn's last-gasp inbound pass, and the New Orleans Pelicans remained unbeaten by scoring nine straight over the last 1:49 in a 117-115 victory Friday night.How much were they up by?
Holiday's clutch jumper gave New Orleans a one-point lead, but Brooklyn's Ed Davis was assessed a technical foul shortly after and Holiday made a free throw before Anthony Davis leapt to tip Joe Harris' inbound pass to himself as time ran out.
Please watch the highlights!!!
I feel that way too and say it all the time.
I agree. At the very least one of those Rockets-Bulls series would have been very close. People underestimate how good those teams were cause Jordan was out.
