Haha, yep massive fan of that Suns outfit KET.

Was absolutely gutted they couldn't get out of the West. Those series were amazing to watch. Their "7 seconds and less" play was so exciting. I remember some of those games..Nash getting checked into the scorers table, Amare missing a crucial game because he got up off the bench (i was fuming), Raja Bell clothes-lining Kobe, Nash getting absolutely posterised by Kobe.

Yep, between the Spurs, Suns, Lakers and Mavs from 2003 to 2010, there were so many classic battles.

Modern day problem with basketball.

No one has any patience anymore.

Everyone wants to chop and change if they don't win within a year or two.

That's what I used to love about the West around the 2005s. Those top teams had confidence that they could win, confidence in their abilities, personel, systems and coaches. Made for some absolute classic battles.

Rivalries don't exist in the NBA anymore, because teams never play each other in multiple series over multiple years anymore, because teams chop and change so much - unlike the Suns-Lakers, Suns-Spurs, Suns-Mavs rivalries. Also the rivalries in the East of the 90s.

Watching ESPN today and I think they summed it up very well. GS and SA star players/team work very well off the ball. Cavs stars (LeBron, Love, Irving) work best with the ball. Not conducive to good offence in pressure situations. Back to team ball beats isolation.

"Wow, so what is the new coach going to do differently?"

Not sure about this new plan of missing as many free throws as possible.

Pat Riley wouldn't put up with players over ruling the coaching staff, Cleveland obviously think it's fine.
