NBA Discussion (Official Thread)

I was watching this the other day and it's astounding how much the game has changed


I really only see NBA games if we're out somewhere and the bar/restaurant has the game on TV. Last night we went out for dinner and the Lakers/Celtics game was on. I paid attention off and on for a few minutes and literally all it was was the two teams running up and down the court, passing the ball around trying to get a look at a 3 and chucking it up. No strategy, no defense. It is completely unwatchable to me.

Is what makes this year's Cavs team even that much more enjoyable. They box out, pass and play good Defense. Yeah they get a bit too much showtime now and then but they have guys playing that demonstrate good fundamentals which I love.

When I'm not watching the Cavs, it's damn hard to watch a full NBA game. The fundamentals are nonexistent and it's just a hot freaking mess if shots aren't going in at a high rate.

You know, I feel the same thing about watching Buckeyes games and most other teams. Maybe it's basketball in general that is just starting to suck so much ass it's hard to watch all together?

Then there's this shit. :roll2:


Imagine being an OKC fan and paying hundreds of dollars to take your kids to that game and you get that. Fuck this league.

I want the NBA I grew up with back.

Just let Vegas chime in and it'll make messy of it stop. They can't set the lines as closely when starters sit like that so some that know it's coming can be "accordingly" and wipe some casinos out with the right backing.
