Broken is broken. It's a poorly designed sports league, vastly inferior to the college version of the same premise. -- nm - David Jul 5, 07:50 14
- yeah, you just don't see these things much in other sports. -- (edited) - groiny Jul 5, 07:58 9
  - well you do in some respect, but not to the same level. - Truman Jul 5, 08:02 8
    - sure, but a baseball team is 25 players, you can't really fill 15 spots with all-stars. - groiny Jul 5, 08:16 7
      - right, just look at Trout and the Angels. He's Lebron of MLB but can't carry his shitty ass teammates to the Finals every year - Beaker Jul 5, 08:18 1
        
        even when the Yankees were buying all the high priced free agents, they could not fill 70% of their roster with all stars. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 08:23
      - I agree, the closest example is really soccer. hockey can stack a line in a game, but there are multiple lines so it isnt as crazy. -- nm - Truman Jul 5, 08:17 4
        
        but nobody would notice a soccer game being played. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 08:18 3
        
        in the US sure, but in the rest of the world, Neymar is a bigger star than the entire Warriors team. -- nm - Truman Jul 5, 08:21 2
        
        but the rest of the world is full of rapists and criminals. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 08:22 1
        
        so politicians? -- nm - Truman Jul 5, 08:24
- However, most of what makes the NCAA great is the 1 and done factor of the Tourney - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 5, 07:57 3
  - Yes. The NBA should consider that format. -- nm - David Jul 5, 08:00 2
    - Disagreed. But I might go for 3 games series, though. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 5, 08:20 1
      - disagree. just like hockey, all 7 game series are better. but the NBA should get rid of the east and west conference and just have the best 16 teams - Truman Jul 5, 08:26
But I’m the 80s-90s many teams were competitive. Now there’s like 3 teams at best. -- nm - MDH Jul 5, 07:47 3
- Right. The thing is that the NBA, more than any other major league is, usually going to be won by the best team. But there were several contenders - pmb Jul 5, 07:50 2
  - right, it would be like if Jordan begged Barkley to switch teams back then. - groiny Jul 5, 07:57
  - YUP. -- nm - MDH Jul 5, 07:53
nobody in their right mind watches NBA anyway -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 07:41 3
- I think I know one person who legit cares about the NBA and he's a Lakers fan so he's a bit excited right now. -- nm - Shaun Jul 5, 07:50 2
  - Do you know hyde? Mel? - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 5, 08:08 1
    - "no one in their right mind" check. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 08:21
He just kind of glosses over the 70s with its collection of oddball champs: Bucks, Blazers, Bullets, Sonics, and, yes, the Warriors. -- nm - Babarón Jul 5, 07:36 1
- Aka, when the league was coked out of its mind and Finals Games were shown on tape-delay. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 5, 07:52
Similar to that stat someone posted a while back about the small number of teams that have made the WC finals since 1970. - Babarón Jul 5, 07:32 1
- Yeah, you need to go past 1962 to start getting some other finalists.. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 5, 07:55
I would say they make it boring, but it's boring in spite of whatever. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 5, 07:29
Is this still a thing? - Capstern Jul 5, 07:27
I dont think I would have made that argument before durant joined, I probably would know. - Truman Jul 5, 07:26
