Just take a look at this. The graphs will speak for themselves.

NBA Size and Competitiveness
quote:

Because SOMEONE HAS TO LOSE


Obviously.

quote:

You do realize that talent increasing =/= everyone winning.


It's not about everyone winning. You're missing the point. It's about being competitive. It's about not being able leave 80% of the league out the discussion for a title at the beginning of the season.

But that's not what you said.

What I mean the talent is more spread out, not that there's less of it. Something's not adding up though. The league cannot be
quote:

saturated

with talent when you have 6 teams that cannot win 30% of their games and 6 teams well above .500. IMO, if a saturation would exist, the league would be more competitive. You wouldn't have the best team having 35 more wins than the worst team. So, if in fact there is a saturation of talent (meaning there's more than enough to go around), then what is the cause of the lack of competition?
quote:

Diluted?

So you mean to tell me that the league wouldn't be more competitive if there were less teams? Do you realize that 19 of the 26 NBA's longest losing streaks are post-1986? Less mediocre players in the league to be roster fillers. The lower echelon teams are just TERRIBLE. The Cavaliers are proving my point for me this year. They are roster fillers. They are an ALL-TIME team of terrible basketball.

Those 50s Celts were pretty good ya know.

You mean those 60s Celtics? You know, the team that won 8 straight?
Just by the number of championships, they don't compare at all. Plus, the league is more diluted now talent wise due to the six teams added between the final Bird/Parrish championship and the first and only 08-11 Celtics championship.

That's the entire reason I clicked on this topic. Lol.
It'll just be another superstar trio like Miami.
