    And that's just the officiating. That doesn't even speak to the level of play and how retarded the coaching is now. The game has been totally randomized. It used to be a team won because they played better and executed better. Now I'm not sure winning the game means anything at all. Since every team plays the same it really just boils down either to who's hitting their 3's or who's getting luckier with the calls.

    And yes I already know a lot of young whippersnappers are going to tell me it was always like this and stop letting nostalgia cloud my judgement and blah blah blah. No the f*ck it wasn't.

    There is something severely wrong going on with this league.
    and you kids

    Bro these games are awful. Some of the games have been competitive sure but the teams themselves are awful to watch. Every player is just heaving a prayer, even during crunch time.

    Kawhi is one of the most skilled guys in the league, can kill you from anywhere... and even he is not above shooting a TERRIBLE three with under 2 minutes left with a tie score.

    Not at all.

    You got me all wrong, I am only racist so far that I like to see people who look like me do things I like to see and listen to.

    I don't have a problem with any black, yellow, brown person, I just want a fair shake for whites.

    I know what you mean, but I am entertained. Sure, it doesn't have the tactics and decisiveness of the 90s, but it's better than nothing.
