Now that's good. I'm a little worried about Sasha in the backseat though.

Some people like throwing the "boring" label out because they've heard other people say it and it sounds like it must be true. But in reality, they just don't like the Spurs because their team always gets beat by them. So just because these fans don't like watching and/or facing the Spurs they figure the "boring" label must be accurate.joseephuss;2088357 said:I don't understand how the Spurs alone are boring basketball. That criticism just doesn't make sense to me. The NBA to me is mostly boring especially during the regular season. No one team seems more boring than another. There are a couple of teams that seem more exciting than others such as the Suns, but pretty much every other team does the same things. They pick and roll, they feed it to their big men, they float around the 3 point line waiting for a shot and half of the teams play defense.
The four teams left are really all just boring teams. The Lakers are a boring team with a dynamic player in Kobe. He alone changes the teams dynamics. Without him the triangle offense of the Lakers would be pretty boring.

One of the reasons that I like the Suns is because they used to be such a high speed team and it was fun to watch. Then you got teams like the Spurs who go to hack-a-shaq boring play to try and win and usually don't score over 100 points. Yawn.
DCgirl13;2088509 said:You couldn't be more wrong in your statement. Have you ever thought that not everyone is a fan of the dirty/flopping spurs?
Danny White;2088549 said:Exhibit A:
I rest my case.

that's not true at all. they have a good transition game, pass the ball a lot, throw down dunks and have the best player in the game.

The three winningest and most dominant teams in the NBA over the past decade... along with the Celtics, undoubtedly the most storied franchise in NBA history?
You might as well have said: "I like it when everyone runs around a lot and there are lots of uncontested slam dunks and behind-the-back passes."
The Suns are to the NBA what the Arena Football League is to football.
No one says you have to root for them. But just because they're not your favorite team, it doesn't necessarily make them "boring."DCgirl13;2088650 said:Sorry, I don't do bandwagons. So I should like these teams because they have won the most? How about no.
Duly noted that you're a Suns fan, not a basketball fan.DCgirl13;2088650 said:If that is what it is, then call me an Arena Football fan. If it weren't for the Suns, I wouldn't even watch basketball.

Good luck next year, then.

I don't think even Biggems could have written a better condemnation of Suns fans and their fickle basketball tastes.
Let's parse it just for a minute here:
"Almost all basketball teams to me are boring..."
What you're essentially saying here is that you don't have an appreciation of basketball. Whatever it is that you are, it isn't a "basketball fan."
"especially the final four left"
Especially the Celtics, Lakers, Pistons, and Spurs? Some of the most storied teams in the history of the NBA? The three winningest and most dominant teams in the NBA over the past decade... along with the Celtics, undoubtedly the most storied franchise in NBA history?
No, if the Suns aren't in it, it can't possibly be interesting.
"One of the reasons that I like the Suns is because they used to be such a high speed team and it was fun to watch."

"Then you got teams like the Spurs who go to hack-a-shaq boring play to try and win and usually don't score over 100 points."
See, what did I say? When you ask them to define "boring" they can't. Hack-a-Shaq? That was one series of basketball spread over a decade of dominance that includes 10 straight playoff runs and four championships.
Even so, Hack-a-Shaq didn't make that series "boring" for you... the Suns losing did. By most accounts, that was one of the most exciting playoff series this year.
