This years playoffs have been pretty amazing (except defense) the new way of playing gets on my nerves sometimes but it’s been exciting.

but there have been some good games so far. I'm pulling for Denver and Miami to make it to the finals. Warriors - Lakers should be a good series.

Wish I was still interested. Loved it back in the day, especially watching the Bulls build their dynasty.
Do not even know any of these current players besides the obvious few.
Tried to get into the hockey playoffs but have failed to watch any so far.

It just bores me now. Growing up in the 80’s watching Lakers/Celtics battles and then the Bulls dynasty spoiled me.

Thought MJ was coming out of retirement as well.
Used to really like it but once Kobe retired I became less interested. When COVID hit and NBA went WOKE with the BLM #### I lost all interest. Couldn't tell you who is what team anymore. Love the ratings have been in the tank last couple years.

Yeah, Lebron's 3pt marksmanship in this year's playoffs has been legendary...

The worst 3 point shooting display in NBA playoff history! Another milestone. And now he's went and got swept again; how many times is that now? Even with the advantages he's enjoyed by roster stacking and excessive use of the luxury tax by the accommodating owners that Lebron eventually puts in salary cap he[[; he's been swept a significant number of times in the playoffs. Another mildstone for the racist to reach—

Mjc3194® I am a fan of the Association.
I like the fact the game isn't so slow and teams can't just get a lead and play Dean Smith 4 corners keep away until they get a win.
But, I agree with you, the style of play now is "Different" and sometimes very frustrating. But, I understand.
Much like in football; I don't like how they have handcuffed the defense! And, it's done in the name of safety, "not more points **wink** to appeal to the broader audience"! Can't look at the QB too long! You can't re-route WR's; though they can pick you all day(again, appeal to the novice fan who thinks football is just like the Sportscenter highlight reel and nothing but scores every play).
The game of football and basketball have changed but is still close enough to the games I grew up loving that I watch it frequently!
Feel sorry for me; I am a Charlotte Hornets fan! Favorite player is Steph Curry! Followed by Spider Mitchell! Followed by Luka!
The 76ers beating Boston in Boston W/O Embid doesn't bode well for the Celtics! Not at all!
And, what other superlatives can you say about: "Chef Curry with the shot"!

100% on Curry and the game being more enjoyable to watch...

as I would rather see deep 3s than the ball worked inside to a lumbering center for a flat-footed dunk—the plodding style of that era, save for the Bulls triangle with Jordan's annual 82 game dunk contest level air display. But this era, even with Curry's prolific long distance shooting and his unmatched "handle"; we still have the shameful displays flopping & constant whining to the refs by Lebron. Then there's this years playoffs(smh) and the vomit inducing 3 point shooting display by Lebron! Just God awful! I mean seriously he has stolen the GOAT title from "Westbrick", GOAT worst outside shooter—

Jimmy Butler has taken time off mysteriously multiple times without being injured.

he can dissappear in games following a game where he took over and single handedly won. Inconsistent shooter from outside, prone to shooting slumps–let me be clear his shooting is no where near the God awful levels we consistently saw from Lebron throughout the playoffs, probably never see 3 pt shooting sink to those depths again. Only a cross-eyed, crippled blind man would have a shot at ever reaching that level—

We aren’t seeing the egregious 140-130 scores like we were seeing in the regular season. Tonight’s nuggets game was only 97-87. Almost like an old school 90s game score
