Message: [QUOTE="DogMania, post: 5289751, member: 21"] I'm not a big NBA fan, but am a big C's fan, growing up in Greater Boston. With that said, I hated the iso hero ball the C's played way too often. They're fun to watch when they move the ball around, but IMO, they become a boring product to watch when it's create a miss match, one on one while the other 4 stand around. But, strangely enough, I'm excited to see these 2 run-the-floor, move the ball and play tough D teams go at it at 90 MPH. We're getting the two most exciting teams go at it. If people don't watch, well they're going to miss some fast paced exciting games and two teams that have some exciting shot makers. I digress, but I hated watching the Knicks. As good as Brunson is as a closer, great shotmaker, I hate his flopping antics, along with the other teammates that were flopping all over the place. And I can't stand watching Towns who commits the stupidest fouls I've ever seen. I though his coach's head was going to explode. If I were his coach or teammate, I'd want him shipped out of town. His demeanor is almost as irritating as his stupid mindless fouls. As good as that series with with Pacers was, his stupid fouls and the Knicks constant grabbing and flopping...well let me put it this way. I'm glad I don't have to watch any more of it. I'd like to think that teams will begin to see that good player and ball movement can win you a lot of games, but the big NBA egos where the stars say give me the ball and get out of my way isn't going to go away any time soon. Though I'd be remiss to not admit the shot making ability inside and beyond the arc displayed in the NBA is remarkable. I just enjoy good ball movement, passing and shots off of great team offense over hero ball, but maybe most NBA fans like seeing the stars light it up all by themselves. I think the upcoming finals is going to be very entertaining with high flying offenses and great defensive intensity. It probably won't garner the viewership of the big market teams even though this matchup likely provides the best basketball being played this season. [/QUOTE]
