Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:08 PM) Well, the Bulls did beat 5 different teams in the finals, then throw in the Rockets and Knicks and you're up to 8, then the Spurs at the end and you're @ 9...and the Pacers, that makes 10 teams. You're kidding, right? In what individual year/s in the 90's did the league have 5, let alone 10, teams with a legitimate shot at a title? The 80's was even worse. If you don't like today's ball, fine. But don't say parity is a reason. In that case, the nba has sucked since the 70's.

You said nothing about 10 teams in any particular year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just kinda making fun of your whole "the NBA today is da greatest eva" comment. Yeah it's a cool story of all these first round 7 game series but we all know only two or three teams really have a real shot at the title. When's the last time a surprise team no one expected to win won it all? That happens in the NFL, MLB and NHL quite frequently, never in the NBA.

Ok, maybe the word never was too strong but it happens the least of the four major sports. The Grizz continue to hang around but fully expect OKC to pull away in the 2nd half.

They had lost in 7 to the Pistons in the ECF the previous year and had Shaq and Wade. The other two I agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Williams? Mourning/Payton when they were barely hanging on? I remember thinking Pistons/Spurs rematch all the way that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 2, 2014 -> 09:50 PM) Mavs barely hold off the Spurs. These west playoffs have been too much. And this is round 1. We've got 5 (6 if Houston wins) game 7's comin' up in the next 2 days. BUT TODAY'S NBA IS SO f***ING HORRIBLE, signed Jerry West, Charles Barkley, or any other old fart who wants to be young again. Two of them shouldn't count because they're in the East. The West is pretty damn fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
