Lets discuss: Are super teams really bad for the NBA?

[Doranku]

Superteams aren't bad as long as there is actual competition.

East is finally improving and actual beat out the Western conference in more winning teams for playoffs. But, West is getting worse.

One thing for certain, it's not fun knowing that there's a high chance we will see Warriors and Cleveland again.

It's more than just a high chance. Both the Cavs and Warriors could lose their best player and still be the heavy favorites to win their respective conferences.

The league is a joke right now.

You combined 20 years of NBA to make a good list. I'm sure if we combined the previous 20 years (1996 - 2016) we'd make a damn good list too.

Dude said the 80s and 90s didn't have too many good teams. I didn't even name all of them.

The point is, the league was far more competitive back then.

[sportjames23]

he should've said 80's but pretty much only 3 of those teams you listed came from the 80's. That's pretty similar to what next year will look like. 90's was really competitive but then again some will say there weren't many super teams that decade. Anyway our era is fine now.

In just this decade we have Warriors, Cavs, Miami(11-14), Spurs, Lakers, Celtics, Thunder, Clippers, Howard's Magic, Memphis, Rose's Bulls, George's Pacers, Harden's Rockets, Aldridge and Lillard's Blazers etc. Yes some of those teams I listed weren't really contenders but same is true for your list(Zo's Hornets come on now, should've gone with Zo Hardaway Heat).

If you want more 80s teams, how about:

Derek Harper's Mavs
Terry Cumming's Bucks
Dr. J's Sixers
Chambers and X-Man's Sonics



Some of those teams I mentioned before were from the 80s into the 90s, such as the Pistons, Jazz, Suns, Bulls, etc.

With all the basic ass teams you listed the current era is wayyyyyy more competitive.

I just think you're underselling the era today. There's plenty of competition usually, next year is kind of an exception and very similar to the 80's with 2 obvious favorites and maybe 1-2 other contenders.. Anyway Mavs and especially the Sonics(got 45+wins once with that core) is reaching for the when it comes to great teams. 10 years from now people are going mention the Arenas Jamison Wizards in the same way as the Sonics when talking about how great the mid 2000's was.

The Warriors without Curry are not favorites over OKC/Spurs last year. This year sure.
And Cleveland without Lebron wouldn't have had a top 4 record and definitely wouldn't have made the Finals.

Your posting is always so shit.

I'm talking about next year, you stupid f*ck.

I kinda agree with you. About your assertion of banakiii's intelligence and Warriors making the Finals without Curry. The Cavs wouldn't though. LeBron is the teams best scorer, playmaker, and defender. Heck, he was their best rebounder as well, in the PO's. They don't make the Finals without LeBron.

You really this riled up over a fact about Dwade in another thread

I already noticed that and fixed my post jackass.
That doesn't change the fact that your point about the Cavs is still dumb as hell.

Riled up? Took me like 5 seconds to type those 5-6 words and another 10 seconds to type this up.

Cavs wouldnt be the favorites without Lebron...

Warriors, yes? Cavs? hell no

[poido123]

They are, but the door has been opened now and it will be a fixture of the future NBA.


It will be fun for 2 or 3 teams in the league I suppose

[coin24]

The leagues turned into a joke now, it really will be just the cavs and warriors next season..
I'd rather see one star player per team, this teaming up bullshit is ruining the league..

This years playoffs were some of the worst I've ever seen
