Thoughts on NBA finals

Daniels massive numbers? 15 and 8 were relatively high but not when you consider he played 30 minutes per game and the Wildcats ran their offence through him and Beal (each took 20% of all of Perth's field goal attempts in that season).

Similarly with Tokoto - 15 and 6 in 28 MPG. He and Cotton were teh focus of the Perth offence, both taking way more field goal attempts than anybody else.

Your point about almost-NBA players' athleticism relative to NBL players may be right, but perhaps pick examples that more clearly support that argument.

How wasTokoto’s back half of the season? He got worked out pretty quickly!! Nice jump shot he had, oh wait, sorry.

James to 76ers = title.

Too bad we only get them when they’re washed up.

At times you only have too look at some of the spud imports in the nbl that can’t scratch themselves who have NBA on their resume to know you only need to be an athlete in the nba...not necessarily a baller

Was pretty open this year really. Warriors had major competition in Houston, spurs with Leonard's problems led to a down year. East had a master coaching class by Stephens missing 2 huge pieces but a potential superstar in Tatum unearthed. What would have happened if pacers knocked off cavs in 1st round, raptors wouldn't have been LeBron bitch. And 76ers prove that despite talent, experience is key.
Can argue league wanted this match-up but LeBron was key in creating this team. Probably closest thing him and MJ have in common is that they are really crap as building team. At the time was said that Celtics got best player but cavs got best deal, that nets pick looking iffy at 8,can get solid player but will miss out on Ayton and Doncic, biggest difference makers in draft. Rest really have question marks. Would Kyrie made a difference if healthy, most definitely.

What a boring anti climax.

This is making me even more excited now for the World Cup starting on Thursday. :D

NBL is more competitive because all the players are garbage

Not convinced, the nbl play defence, nba is one way offence. I suppose the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Game 1 was great

But ever since the brain fade, the rest of the series has had a feeling of inevitability

Agree that Durant is public enemy number 1

I honestly find the NBL more entertaining. There are a few NBA teams that play an entertaining style of ball for me (Celtics in particular), but the min/max-styled offenses of teams like the Rockets are just dull for me, despite the high scores and the talent on the court.

As years go by I'm looking at box scores and highlights of the NBA a lot more than I am actual games. Meanwhile, I'm catching most NBL games regardless of who is playing.

NBL more entertaining hahahaha

Completely agree.
The whole sport has turned to sh#t.
Superteams, no defense, 3 after 3 being jacked up. It is not as if teams (excecpt GSW) are showing great offense with great ball movement and creating open shots.
How many times do you see contested shots early in the clock?
The sport league has turned to junk.
IMO the NBL is more enteratining

garbage, Durant ruined the NBA

Bloody hell found the Cavs fan pretty easy

I think four teams can compete next year - Warriors, Rockets, Celtics and who ever LeBron plays with.
Not great news for the other 26.

Hey!!! Don't disrespect the u12 girls at Marion by comparing them to the East!!!

I paid no attention to the NBA Finals this year.
If Houston or Utah were playing Boston I would have been interested enough to watch (OKC Fan) but the Cavs Vs Golden State is as interesting to me as watching paint dry.

If Chris Paul doesn’t do a hamstring Houston knock GSW off... I think people carry on about this super team crap too much. The problem is the West is strong and the East are U 12 girls at Marion.
