Good for you...

And actually it's not.

Football>NBA for me.....Always been that way

Yuck, but it's a free country. Is it boring watching the Patriots win every other year?

Agree. My point is Rondo's way has proven successful whereas Lonzo's way not so much.

You realize that they have a better record with Lonzo's way than Rondo's way, right?

Sure, but the playoffs all the teams are good and they play defense the whole game. I like them better.

With these new rules, I'm expecting teams to be scoring 115-120 in the playoffs.

They need something to help out the defense. These guys are not really allowed to play defense anymore

The W's only got 149.....think this means you owe me 150-1,000 Hoop cash, @Mecca

 

[msgkings322]

this I kinda agree with...

These days no one thinks folks appreciate good defense...

They JUST made the changes that have caused the scores to inflate, and if the ratings rise they ain't changing shit.

Agreed, I think the pendulum has swung too far towards the offense but if they get the ratings it'll stay. I do prefer this style to the 1990s with playoff game scores like 76-73.

Before winning in 2015, the Patriots were on a 10 year title drought

I get that but to refuse to watch? I loved watching the Lakers when SHaq and Kobe were destroying the league. I loved the Bulls in the 1990s. Watching the sport I love played at the highest possible level is great. Even Showtime and the 80s Celtics. People today are like "oooh what was it like watching Magic and Kareem and Worthy?". In 20 years it'll be wow what was it like watching Klay and Curry and KD?

guess that's the thing. you can't expect everyone to feel the same way about it as you do...

I realize they're only 6 or 7 games in. Lol

Held to only 57 in the second half. Inexcusably lazy, right @Montalban ?

 

[Montalban]

Where's @Montalban at???

They gave me my own "Montalban's Bitch About the Warriors" thread so been hanging there a little. They are playing so well now since Kerr got on their ass after the debacle in Denver that I can't post much.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers down 2 with 1:14 left to play.

Starters sit in the 4th?

 

[msgkings322]

Nor do I. Just don't understand the other way of thinking about it. If I weren't a Ws fan I would still be excited to watch them. Just as I was the Kobe/Shaq Lakers and 90s Bulls.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Is that Doug Christie on the left?

 

[Montalban]

Nah. The players in the 4th quarter all are D League type guys so they lost some of that lead.

 

[Montalban]

Hope they lose and its because of a James turnover at the end.

 

[bksballer89]

Especially when you're a fan of that team lol.

Unless they're playing a top team or the Heat, I really have no plans on tuning in to a Warriors game.

Yeah I'll watch when they play other top 10 teams especially if those games are on the road but yeah good luck catching me tuning in to a Warriors/Mavs game for example. Not happening.

Fuck you Jimmy Butler!!!!
