Basically a 2 team race at this point. Winner of Clips/Lakers takes it all and the Lakers have a huge advantage there with AD.

Man - I'll argue every time against the 'the NBA sucks crowd...'
But then there's shit like this:
Spoiler!
Flop, dueling flops, flop, brick. That's with one minute left in a deciding game 7. And EVERYONE is just trying to get to the line instead of trying to actually play basketball. Just wow. |

And Harden's only a little bit behind him. Paul is the spiritual successor to Dwyane Wade and I couldn't stand that guy. That final they won (against Dallas?) with him just mindlessly bombing into the lane and waiting for the officials to bail him out (which they did) set basketball back 5 years. And of course, guys like that are never willing to die by the sword. They expect every whistle and then bitch like schoolgirls if they don't get it or if a foul is called against them. I cannot stand Chris Paul. The playoffs are better without him. Fortunately he's rarely in them for very long so it works out alright. |

And that’s before him just pounding the **** out of the ball so he can wait until the defender lays down for a nap so he can go by him. Hardins the better player. Paul is the better watch IMO. |

As I've maintained, the ability to sell the refs on calls has become an important skill in this league. Watch a Rockets game or a Celtics game and you'll see a lot of the offense is designed to try to get to the line even on jump shots. |

Steve Nash getting hired to be the first scapegoat for Durant and Kyrie when things go wrong there.

And seriously - these games look like McDonalds All-American high school all-star games. Shit, they look stranger than that. All the crap on their jerseys that make them look out of balance and nothing like an NBA jersey, the empty stands. I could be watching euro-league games and it wouldn't be much different. The weird schedule/start times have something to do with ratings being down but man, the cognitive dissonance watching these games is just remarkable. It does not 'look' like an NBA game and that absolutely impacts the viewing experience. This season just cannot end quickly enough. |
