quite honestly, This is the worst possible "final 4" for me.

But I really don't want Boston sports to succeed.

People like to call their style of play "boring."

I personally don't like them because of their attitude. They have a swagger despite not winning a title since 04' (came close in 05' but they weren't winning that game 7 in SA) and got eliminated due to flat out ass whoopings and rookie-like meltdowns.

I think george karl said it best when he said something to the effect of "they carry themselves in a way that's disrespectful to the game of basketball."

obviously if you don't like the guys you won't like the team and that's cool, like i said i'm not even a fan myself but who the hell is George Karl to say shit like that? how are the dipshits in Denver respecting basketball?


also to people who find the Pistons boring, have you considered the possibility that you don't like basketball?

Good, "boring" basketball > shitty "exciting" basketball when your in the state and the city is constantly in the playoffs.

Sorry, Dallasfags (getting KO'd in the first round just means you're shit) and more or less every team but the Spurs and the Cavs.
Also, Cleveland is a fucking shithole and LeBron James is a complete douchebag. WE ARE ALL WITNESSES? Yeah, to you fucking shit up.

Well I'm not a huge george karl fan, it was just a quote that I read that some other coaches seemed to agree with.

I agree with it to a degree, if you aren't the champions you shouldn't act like the O'Brien trophy should have your team name on it. Also there's the way the team treats their coach.

i just don't get what's boring about how they play. they're all involved in the offense and play solid defense most of the time. is a balanced offense that hard to watch?

For people that watch basketball for "entertainment" yes, it is boring.

Those of us that understand the game, especially those that have actually played it, enjoy watching well structured basketball. It's really an issue of people not understanding what's happening unless it's a dunk or something.

I'm a Laker fan, and I have always liked how the Pistons and the Spurs play. Those guys are playing basketball as it should be played, not zomg I can hit a shot using 5 seconds on the court, or one guy going for 40 points, or 'let's just shoot jumpers on isolation for every play'.

>>112923

What other final four would be better? Orlando has shitty bench, and Dwight Howard is a nobody against a team that plays decent defense, Cavs should just be renamed to Lebron James until he opts out, and should we even talk about the Raptors' chance of going to the CF? For the West I wouldn't have minded if Jazz, Hornets, or the Suns make it, but considering how it all played out, no one can argue that the Lakers and Spurs aren't the best in the West right now.

mostly agree with this. though it would have given me no end of elation to see the hawks take out the celts and cavs, for a number of reasons (entertaining team plus /cle/&/bos/ bawwwwwww the top 2).

though i actually prefer the pistons and their guaranshees to san antonio's flopfest.

that PA announcer for the palace is fucking ANNOYING tho.

I don't know why George Karl would think that. To me Detroit lack the killer instinct that would propel them to the next level in a close game, which is why it looks as if they are disinterested the last two times they got eliminated. Curse of a selfless system? Could be, it wouldn't hurt them to add a slasher either, but they have had success before, and no one knows if it would be better or worse to do a make over.
