OT: What is the most boring successful sports team?

[KoolAid Mans Brother]

I'm not talking about irrelevant scrub teams. I'm talking about teams that consistently win over a long period of time but watching them is like watching paint dry.

[Clipper Nation]

You're missing the Steelers, who are always boring as , tbh....

[Suspect]

spurs by far

[Vash StampedE]

spurs by far

I can say that you haven't got to watch Spurs games lately. I bet you didn't watch any of this year's Finals games. Or perhaps you, like many other, prefer to watch teams whose plays are mostly ISOs. A pretty good example of that is your Houston with Harden going 1 on 1 most of the time.

[Suspect]

I knew a random spur fan would get mad.

I watched majority of the spurs games the entire playoffs since I was rooting for them after/knowing Houston would get knocked out.

I rooted for them cause I wanted tmac to get a ring and I felt they were miamis biggest threat. but doesnt change the fact they are boring to watch

ISO's worked for the lakers and Heat. 4 out of the last 5 Championships TBH....

The entire MLB, 3 hours of fat men standing around, spitting on the ground and scratching their balls... that.

tbh.....you should add "roided up" before "fat men"

I don't believe if you still say the Spurs are boring

[Suspect]

ok

[timtonymanu]

The Spurs aren't as boring as they use to be, imo, but they still play a "boring" brand of basketball in this day.

Danny Green hitting 3 pointers isn't something exciting to watch unless you are a true fan of the Spurs.

[DMC]

Success is never boring. Only an person excited by failure would consider success at the highest level to be boring.

Sorry, but you're one in many pop up gots in the ST NBA Forum whack-a-mole game. Where the talent goes, the gots rise, and when the gots rise, they get smacked down when their new found talent proves to be useless in their scheme, when it's shown that the real issue isn't about talent but about method from the top down. Your team had it's time, they had some real talent in TMac and Yao Ming on the floor at the same time and oddly enough it was when both were injured that they did the best.

So the real question should be phrased as such: Name a team that focused on playing exciting basketball instead of winning basketball.

There would be many.

To those focused on the pinnacle though, winning is all the excitement needed.

"Never underestimate the heart of a champion." Drive West on I-10 if you need to see what one looks like.

FC Barcelona. Brb watching backward and lateral passes all game till the other team gets tired

[Katherine Robinson]

The Spurs are terribly boring to watch, while it is good basketball, it is all substance with no flare.

Making the Finals 6 years after your last ring, with the same core, when you've been written off the last 5 of those years as being "too old" makes me angry. I cannot imagine how you must feel. You get Howard and now feel you're going to be playing in the Finals one day.

[Lincoln]

I haven't been around much lately but I thought dmc got exiled

[DMC]

No, I said I would leave. I didn't get ousted. I said the first person I respond to I will pay 500.00 but Thread hasn't called me out on it yet and he was the first, but since he's against paying bets, I don't know how I will respond if he does.

[Chief Brody]

For me, it's unquestionably the Atlanta Braves. I'm a Marlins fan, but even before they arrived on scene in '93 I still hated the Braves. Three great pitchers who would just paint the black and throw low and away for 10+ years. Smart baseball, but incredibly boring and frustrating to watch.

[Rogue]

Jose's Chelsea in 05 and 06 were just as boring as Barcelona imho. At least Barca don't play a defensive/counter-attack style of game. It never bothers Jose to make the game ugly, as long as such ugly play increases his own winning odd

[Rogue]

No, I said I would leave. I didn't get ousted. I said the first person I respond to I will pay 500.00 but Thread hasn't called me out on it yet and he was the first, but since he's against paying bets, I don't know how I will respond if he does.

That guy Calispursfan talked tons of against you in your absence, wagging his tails above his head all the time as if it wsa a "victory" for him to "expose you" and ride you out. I ain't being a snitch but for what I've seen since you returned home, that Calispursfan guy doesn't post 1/10 as frequently as he used to do. Dude fears you like a mosquito fearing the light tbh.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Actually you said IF the Spurs win game 6 then the first person you respond to gets $500.00 so you don't owe Thread regardless

They were in the most exciting series in the playoffs by far, takes two to tango.... Just saying.
