Boston, the #1 team in the east, has 15 turnovers and 30 points total with 2 minutes left in the 2nd quarter against the Sixers.

Man, just awful awful basketball. No defense, everyone just jacking up 3’s, terrible passes, walks everywhere....looks like an all star game with terrible players. Do these guys have no shame? Just lazily walking around and throwing shots up?

I don’t feel so bad about LSU now...even they play better defense and with more passion/urgency than these teams.

Definitely need to drop the NBA season down to 60 games max

Thanks for sharing. Please write a novel about the 2nd half too.

Damn! I still needed "too much arguing with the refs" and "too many tatoos and cornrows".

Congrats on your "get off my lawn" trophy. We'll play again when the NBA on ABC starts up.

We were missing the Free Space a.k.a. “Back in the 90’s they actually played defense”

NBA has been sort of Rec league for years. It's why the Warriors were able to rise to the top. They are perfect for this era of whistles and bombing away un-guarded.

Never understood the need for hot takes like this. I personally don’t like the nba,but a lot of people on here love it and it’s a very well produced product with a lot of stars for the fans to enjoy. What does a “hey I’m gonna shite on the nba because everyone deserves to hear my opinion” do for this board?

Well since the #1 team in the east is playing without their best player and starting point guard for the east all stars, it is easy to understand that they would be struggling. And the guy I’m taking about is kyrie Irving

Imagine if Kyrie became pass-first in terms of his APG averages and actually chose to play defense, he’d be the Isiah Thomas of this generation, hell he wears the same JERSEY NUMBER. 2-Guardism man.

People who complain about the NBA don’t understand basketball and don’t understand what they’re watching.

Spoken like a person who didn't grow up watching in the 80s. Defense was a joke back then. No zone D allowed, hardly anyone could shoot 3s for shite, nearly all teams were pushing tempo, sports nutrition was in the dark ages compared to now, defenses have become far more complex, offensive spacing is light years better...

Sorry but physicality =/= tougher defense.
