re: I was a gigantic NBA fan years ago but the Spurs era killed that.

You obviously didn't come up in the Jordan era, unless it was the very end of it. The Spurs are the only reason I watch basketball because they play the way teams played in the Jordan era...as a team. I would take Celtics, Lakers, Pistons, Bulls, Suns, hell any team from the late 80's thru the mid-late 90's over any of the bullshite put out on the court today other than the Spurs.
All these pussies playing nowadays wouldn't have survived a playoff series against any of the teams I mentioned above since you could actually play defense back then and put your hands on the offensive player. Not to mention what they give out T's for now probably wouldn't even be called hard fouls back then.

The 90's... and specifically the mid to late 90's was WAY more ISO heavy than today.
The game was slow, isolation, boring basketball.
That was the main reason for changing the illegal defense rules and allowing zone defense. To reduce isolation basketball and make for a more fast-paced game.
Either you never really watched basketball back then, or you are letting your nostalgia blind you.
