This shyt always happens, the peanut gallery says 'boring' 'same old' 'predictable' 'give us something new', when that happens they don't like it one bit
This NBA season is like a really bad simulation on 2K

But the NBA was always one-on-one. That's how mismatches were created. You are better so you take advantage of the man guarding you. There are very few teams that won by distributing the ball evenly, every man gets a chance. Those are the Spurs last year and....I'd say the Pistons, but they also went one-on-one.
The only difference and the only reason Kobe went 1-on-5 is because teammates 2-5 cannot create their own shots. When you have other players that can go 1-on-1 it makes everyone's job easier. There are less double teams because defenders have to stay home, and without that soft a$$ zone and switches on everything, there wouldn't be many wide open shyts taken.
nikka stop.
You tellin me that Steph/Klay, KD/Russ, Cousins, LBJ/Kyrie, Harden, Marc/Z-Bo, Lillard/LMA, Lowry, CP3/Blake, Dirk/Monta, Wall/Beal, AD and Teague/Horford/Millsap are all boring, mediocre players who bring no excitement to the NBA night after night and aren't genuine 20+ PPG scorers? (even if all that I mentioned aren't 20+ PPG players they certainly play like it)
the fukk outta here
The league is seeing more exciting duels and marquee matchups than it's had since the 90s
edit: Actually the late 2000s had some pretty crazy duels and matchups now that I think about it so I might retract that 90s statement
You named all West teams except 2. I didn't say they were boring, and brought no excitement. I said that i want parity with a higher talent level....on every team. Even if that team has one superstar, I want to say that damn that team could've won. No one is expecting Atl to go anywhere. Honestly, none of their players are great - same with Memphis and Tor. I like some of those players, but I'm not expecting them to lead a team anywhere to the promise land, as the best player on a team. The leader maybe but not best player. It's the same reason that no one expects the Clippers to do anything, EVER.
As for my 20ppg scorer comment, you said it yourself. And how can you not be a 20ppg scorer but play like it? For some of those players, if the ability is there, the only thing stopping them is not wanting it - Sheed status. Last time I checked, dude was unguardable and still nowhere near sniffin the HOF. You tellin me that your list of Steph/Klay, KD/Russ, Cousins, LBJ/Kyrie, Harden, Marc/Z-Bo, Lillard/LMA, Lowry, CP3/Blake, Dirk/Monta, Wall/Beal, AD and Teague/Horford/Millsap. The bolded will never be considered all-time great players. Most of their stats are
The jury is still out on Steph, Klay, Cousins and Lillard. Noah's another one that won't be an all-time great player, and Rose will have the Penny tag.

You don't know that they won't be remembered as all-time great HOF players.
Kyrie's playing with LeBron and has a chance to be the 2nd best player on a championship team, and he will be playing with LeBron for years, if he plays how he's been playing since he came in the league he'll be in the HOF.
Marc/Z-Bo are the leaders of the best teams the Grizzlies have ever had since they formed in 1995. They're numbers will be retired in Memphis and I don't know how the numbers match up but atleast Marc will be a HOF player.
LMA has been one of the most consistent players in the league for years, putting up monster numbers. I don't know why you bolded him, he's the next in line of all-time great HOF power forwards.
Lowry is running the Toronto show, is playing at an elite level, and it's looking like that won't be changing anytime soon
Blake has been the best power forward in the league for 3 years running if you don't count AD as a PF
Monta even if he's not a HOF player is one of the most exciting players to watch, not to mention he should be an all-star
Wall/Beal are the probably the best 1-2 punch in the East at the moment and Wall is leading the league in assists, they might add KD later on
You have no idea how good this ATL team is exactly and I just gave them the nod for winning
I didn't even put my nikkas Noah or Derrick in there but since you did my nikka Noah won a DPOY and my nikka Derrick won a MVP so by default they will be in the HOF, might fukk around a win a chip too

Sounds like you just don't like the west...loser ass NY nikkaI don't like the Blazers either
Give Thrillard his props but that's where it stops
But yeah fukk the Warriors

Sounds like you just don't like the west...loser ass NY nikka
I like the Spurs
Mavs, Rockets, Memphis...
And a bunch of players that play in the West (Bean, KD, Russ, Blake Harden, D12, AD, etc)
I just don't like the fukking Warriors
Told you breh.Breh are you serious right now
Heats will be fortunate to MAKE the playoffs, let alone win the East. In a playoff series they'll get 1 or 2 on anybody in the East, but MIA winning 4 outta 7, with that roster? I'd be surprised to see them win more than 2 games max
I must admit though, I didn't know about this Hassan Whiteside guy.
Every try to stack a team from the east and a team from the west so they meet in the finals, but when you simulate the season, one of those teams get eliminated?
