So yes.

Look at the 90's playoffs, especially during the two 3peats...not much better. You can accept that the Bulls were just that good, but not the Warriors and Cavs?
My favorite era was the 80's. Imo, it was the right mix of finesse and physical basketball. I enjoyed the 90's, but it got too physical and was often more basketbrawl than basketball. It was fun because it seemed like there was some genuine hate (not to mention some pretty good fights), but it got too far away from actual basketball.
Different game different rules. Different free agency. I think the Warriors are dam good in today's game. I didn't think Clevelands team was championship caliber last year. Their bench was awful. The front court was ok. Defense was ok. Basically the Kyrie and Lebron show
You didn't like Bird slamming the ball in Lambiers head? That's classic
I miss the brawls. I miss the punishing presence of centers in the paint. Brawls like Alonzo LJ style. It was almost like hockey but no fighting. Part of the game and it was awesome. Can you see them taking that away from hockey?
Physical bball > jump shot offense IMO
Agree, Games were totally different, but the breakdown of the league as far as bad teams, quality teams and teams that could actually win a title is pretty much the same. I mean, once the Bulls became the Bulls, who was really challenging them?
Oh, I enjoyed the brawls and who didn't love Bird using Laimbeers head as a backboard? lol
That's why the 80's was my favorite era, it was a perfect mix of physicality and finesse. But don't get me wrong...loved me some 90's bloodbath basketball too. I just felt that it got a little too physical.
Tough when you got 3 of the best defenders of all time and Kukoc and Harper and the assassin on offense
I hope Houston, OKC, and Minnesota can make some noise. Maybe the Lakers surprise. San Antonio stays healthy. I think the West could be good and fun to watch. Hopefully. But with so many good players teaming up together it does leave trash at the bottom
While someone here thinks the Spurs are dumpsterAgree. But there's always trash at the bottom of the league. I mean, someone has to be last. lol
Houston and OKC can give the Warriors a scare, especially OKC if Westbrook can stay away from the hero ball. The Spurs will be the Spurs. I think they'll probably be the biggest threat to the Warriors.
Imagine that physicality now with brawls + twitter and the crasy shit around today's society? Someone gets shot after the game

As a Pistons fan, it's just easier that way. But I know what you mean. There was an up and down nature than went out as more teams played a lot of " no layups" style on defense.
Change one inbounds pass and they're playing your Lakers another year earlier for a ring.Yeah, the Bad Boys started it in the late 80's because that was how they could get past the Celtics and Lakers. Then everyone started following suit and trying to out bad boy the bad boys.
Plus HOFer Rodman, yes it was a SuperteamKukoc/Pippen/Jordan could have been considered a superteam back in his day
2 Hall of Famers and one of the best European players ever
hes kinda right tho.Jordan: Superteams mean 28 'garbage' teams
I was a huge fan of him as a player. But every time he opens his mouth he is always bitching about something and pretending that the game was so much better back in his day.
As an NBA owner how in the world does he think this helps the league much less his team?
