Killing the quality of the game and the competitiveness. This is worse than 2King a bunch of trades.

Teams at the bottom- ala my Orlando Magic. RIP- will never be able to succeed under these conditions. They might as well shut it down and make it a 16 team league.

I'm on the verge of dropping the NBA and picking up hockey as my 1st professional sport. Baseball coming on strong 2nd. It's just unheard of the way the quality of the league has plummeted.

It's nice to watch greatness. It's also nice to see competitive games.

The bottom of the league is better than it was during the 90's, expecially after the expansion.

I loved basketball up to last season. It's just bland to me. It's ironic because I love baseball, but basketball bores me.

Silver said he had no problem with super teams. I hope he gets a sweep shoved up his rear.

The worry about GSW dominating for five years is overstated, with all of the money issues they are going to have to decide. Plus, other teams will load up themselves.

Lebron ruined the NBA when he ran off to Miami to form the first superteam.

You're on the right track. There are too many times. Everyone knows contraction is a major need to improve quality of games, but the NBA isn't going to care as long as they're profitable. They're trying to make money, not give us quality games.

Same people hating on the Warriors were loving Lebron when he decided to go to Miami.

KD is a pussy vagina

He is like the guys who play sports video games on the easiest difficulty and hit the reset button before they are about to lose

Is it really a superteam when 3 of the 4 guys AS-level guys were drafted and developed by the same team? That is just luck and good scouting/player development.

I didn't have an issue with LeBron going to Miami aside from how he handled it.

Cleveland was incompetent in putting a roster around him. LeBron tried to recruit Bosh to the Cavs and Bosh had no desire to go to another small NBA market team.

The only chance Cleveland had was to suck for a few years and land some high draft picks.

Durant leaving for the team that he blew a 3-1 lead to was one of the pansiest moves I have ever seen a top 5 player make.

The league would benefit from contraction. Basketball talent and front office acumen cannot come close to supporting 30 teams.

Beef up the D-league.

This would allow for more competitive teams.

I don't have a problem with GSW getting a ring chasing Durant, the problem is the other teams in the league not being able to do anything about it.

Please note that I am a neutral here.

The first game was disappointing but I actually was entertained by the second game until it turned into a blowout. It had a fast pace and lots of offense.

To Stephen A Smith's credit, he's been harping on the parity of the league for much of the season.

However, Max Kellerman had been saying for a month now that the NBA couldn't be better...that there were two goliaths waiting for each other much like the way Muhammad Ali and Frazier did. How did that go, Mr. Kellerman?
