Is the NBA that bad this year, or what? Or is the NBA too much of a ballers league and not enough system team play?

....where have you been? Antarctica? The NBA has been a "hip hop" league ever since, well...."hip hop" took over! But since fundamental play wins championships, generally, the hip hop teams can only get so far and no farther!

And....... I'm officially done with the ECF this year. I can't watch that slop after watching the Spurs right now. I like basketball.

...there's definitely a contrast in styles, one is almost watchable while the other is UNWATCHABLE! Both the Celtics and the Heat play mostly one on one slop, which is indicated by the low assist totals and high turnovers. The Spurs, on the other hand, play the game the right way and thus surgically dissect teams with little resistance.

If the Spurs sweep the Thunder they will destroy the Heat. Especially if Bosh isn't ready to roll. I think the only chance Miami will have is if Lebron plays like an animal, the refs hand Wade everything and maybe even more than they did in his championship wins against Dallas, and if Bosh plays like Kevin Garnett in his prime.

.....yeah, the only thing I'm worried about is Wade setting a record of 50 foul shots, 40 of them the "phantom" variety! Then again, they'll have to give Parker the same courtesy, right???
 
2 games in I'm feeling pretty good about my Spurs in 6 prediction. The Spurs could win in 4 or 5 but I think the Thunder will win at least one of the next two in OKC. I have been wrong about Westbrook not taking care of the ball though. 4 TO's in game 1 and zero in game 2.
 
Smart move to play Sefalosha more and go small. I suggested that on a different thread a couple of days ago, gives them more perimeter shooting and adds a smart defensive player on the floor. Won't be surprised if this is the last game they win though, the game just got out of control for the Spurs. I expect them to come out sharper next game.
 
What is a hopper anyway?
The spurs offense starts with the one on one skills of parker or ginobli beating their man.
Isn't that what a hopper is?
Is it possible to find a less offensive term to describe whatever it is you don't like about the teams you don't like?
 
or is a hopper team a team that on defense uses their athleticism and skills to block shots and get steals , instead of submarining people and flopping to draw offensive fouls?

Come on, East! You've been around this board long enough to know what a hopper is! They like to be the "man", take the game into their own hands, go one on one most of the time, pass only when necessary, shoot at will....and if seen in a dark alley, scare the living begeebeez out of you!
 
Westbook and Durant wear nerdy glasses and backpacks at press conferences, looking like nice junior high kids on their way to the chess club.

I think it is just an act though. They are really ruthless hoppers , and they are plotting to embarrass those old guys again tonight.

...well, Durant is not a true hopper, neither is Westbrook! Westbrook does have hopper tendencies, though, as he sometimes takes the game into his own hands when it's not necessary to do so! I don't think either one has a tattoo, so they've got that going for them, too! But compared to the Spurs.....the Thunder are a hopper team!

Durant has a bunch of tattoos, his mommy just told him to put them where they can't be seen when he's in uniform. Smart lady, eh?
 
It's funny how a team can look unbeatable, but then the other team starts exposing their weakness and they look human. Right now the Spurs just don't look athletic enough to keep up with the Thunder.

Plus Ibaka gets about 2-3 goaltends a game that don't get called.
