Well... you know? If it is indeed the Spurs vs. the Pistons in the Finals, I might be interested to watch after all. I mean, boring as in what? I love to see two tough defensive teams going against each other. It is going to be like the 2005 Finals all over again. I don't mind that at all to be honest!

Exactly.

It's all a matter of preference. Sure the Suns just running back and forth all willy-nilly with no defense is entertaining, but it obviously doesn't win championships now does it?

I like watching teamwork, after all, it is a team sport. Strong defensive teams require a concerted effort from the entire team to win. When the Spurs don't have that, they lose.

Sure, the Suns got the raw end of the deal with the suspensions, but I still believe it was the right call and that they'd have lost anyway (they lost with the Spurs short one man at HOME; ie: the Spurs always play better on the ROAD).

If the Suns start playing more than 6 people a game and find some defense they'll likely win their first championship, though I'd garner Nash will be long gone before then.

Regardless, I like good ball and close games. Both series right have have been excellent every night. Whoever doesn't think that is obviously no real fan of the game, only sore their team isn't in it anymore.

It certainly could have if the Amare and Diaw hadn't been suspended.

watching two teams grind it out isn't the most entertaining bball. Both spurs and pistons bore me with their constant bitching at the refs and flopping. I would much rather watch the suns, bulls, mavs, jazz, ect. I would even take the cavs over the pistons at this point. I already saw the 2005 finals. its sucked. I don't need to see it again. bball like the spurs and pistons play is the type you really only need to watch the 4th quarter. The rest of the game is just build up. I want to see a team that is exciting enough to watch the whole game. If watching tim duncan get wide eyed everytime a ref makes a call, manu flopping everytime some comes within 10 feet of him, or seeing rasheed rack up endless amounts of technicals is your thing then I guess that would be a great finals match up.

And whoever negetive repped me grow a pair of fuckin balls and sign your name. just cause I dont kiss the spurs ass doesn't mean my posts are obnoxious.

Well, actually I have no problem with them playing just six guys. Hell, most teams in the playoffs keep an 8-man rotation or less anyway. I don't have a problem with it.

You said it, for entertainment purposes, I would love to see the Suns everynight. But when it comes to the championship series, I'd like to see some real-man, tough D, my friend. Playing tough D requires team effort, concentration, good coaching. That's when the guys EARN their pay checks! Maybe I am old school... or simply just OLD , I kind of miss those old Pistons / Lakers or even the Jazz / Bulls type of Finals. Also, I think the Lakers' 2000 and 2001 Finals runs were the closest thing to being a balance between entertainment and tough D.

Just one more thing. By playing tough D, I don't mean a totally slow it down and wait for the 24-second clock expire Pat Riley type D. I am talking about movement, and occasional runs here and there. Gosh... I HATE Riley's coaching style!!!!!

I just got home from the wicked Cavaliers game - it was unbelievable in the Quicken Loans Arena. My boss got me some kick ass seats - 4th row behind the one of the nets.

We won and the series is now tied with detroit 2-2. There were some people who were fans of detroit and they were getting harrased like nuts from the nearly drunk fans around them.

Haha for a while I thought this was the only thread you looked at.

Everyone needs to calm down for a bit.
