NO it wont.
it will be one of the best seasons ever vs tons of inept compe ion.
its like saying the heat are a solid nba team, but most of these other teams are so flawed personnel wise or just plain hoop IQ. it seems as if the rest of the nba is a D-2 college team.
now some will say "but but the heat are so good they make everyone look inept." not true at all. the heat can press/trap people because other teams either dont have the athletes or dont have the brains to move the ball properly without throwing it across the court to get picked off by hyper athletic guys.
cause if you think the heat are all that based on this streak. then this seasons denver nuggs are a top 20 team of all time.
No one will say that with a straight face. no one will call them a top 30 team of all time.and they were rolling for the same reason. rule changes to make it easy for a ball handler(s). and hyper athletic guys (iggy, tlaw, dreads, mcgee)
the nba is watered down right now. period. the heat streak is impressive just merely because they keep winning. props for that. BUT its not TOp 10 of all time impressive do to their comp. sorry, i aint buying what espn is selling. |
You could say the bolded about every season that the NBA plays, there are plenty of inept teams every season. So if you are so sure that the level of compe ion is so poor, tell me why there aren't other teams doing the same? Is it just the East? Or is the West equally as inept since the Nuggets are rolling off a long streak of their own?
Your "excuses" remind me of a radio show I listened to last night regarding cause and effect. While it is common to think that "cause' leads to "effect" but there is a faction that believe that "effect" leads to "cause". Somthing happens, and we are compelled to create "causes" for what happened. The winning streak is happening, and those who don't like it are busy searching for their own "causes'. All negative causes, of course. |
bad logic. i already explained to you why the heat are streaking like they are in comparison to the rest. i never lied on the heat and said they suck. i said they are a very very good team. not great in my book. but you dont have to be great in this era to streak like they are. get yourself a couple of hyper athletic ball handlers + add in todays soft perimeter rules + shooters + add in mobile bigs for defensive purposes . trap/press, run shoot. streak time.
put it this way,
you give me a team with
hinrich(healthy)
jamal crawford
iggy
LO (pre dallas, LOL)
Larry Sanders
nate robinson off the bench
Martell Webster
Quincy Pondexter
Enes Kanter
^^that team can streak just like the heat are streaking right now.
notice there isnt one superstar on that team.
the heat are good, but they would not streak in any era where they had to play a team with a young or prime shaq, young or prime zo, young, young or prime hakeem, young or prime drob(or duncan). i'm not sure they would beat the pacers in 7 with a prime rik smits and prime reggie.
shoot this heat couldnt even beat prime gasol, younger kobe + LO a few years back. and i dont think that laker team was great. they were good. but they would get killed by a young kobe, prime shaq lakers. they would've lost to a prime hakeem and houston team, they would lose to a prime timmy, healthy younger gino, healthy tparker.
and for the record. another team is DOING IT. and they are on the west. the denver nuggs. they are streaking like crazy as well. i meant... WAS. lol they lost last night. what was it? 15 in a row. and we know good and well the nuggs aint a great team. we know good and well the nuggs aint that good in comparison to very good teams of years past. the nuggs are just hyper athletic with a few ball handlers that are also athletic (t.law, and iggy). 4 ball handlers(miller + Gallinari)
think about it, if the heat are a top 5 or 10 team of ALL TIME. what the heck are the nuggs this season? top 30-40 of all time? you know thats not true. but if you want to give the heat the love give it to the nuggs as well. but you cant do that, there is no story line there. a team full of non superstars, thats why you wont give them the same or their proper love if you give all that love to the heat.
