--- Quote from: M Dogg on August 05, 2010, 12:34:09 PM ---To be fair to the Lakers and Celtics, I saw less physicality during a heated Big 10 football game than in the NBA Finals this year. The first 3 games it looked like the refs were trying to control the physicality of the games, but when everyone started to complain about the refs, they decided to let them play and it made for one very physical finals. I like high scoring myself, so this finals was not exactly my kind of basketball, but I'll take it if the Lakers win.

An ugly win > a pretty loss...thats for sure. And it was physical, but it was also just bad play man. Im not saying the two teams werent good. They were the best two teams. But they played shitty basketball in the finals.

the spurs vs the pistons wasn't what i would call great basketball either haha, and people marvel at micheal jordon but them utah series wasn't a thing of beauty at all, take away the jordan clear shove in the second series and the sicc game in the first and what did you have? i love tim duncan high lights but to watch him play nah, i would want him to teach my kids post moves tho, if the spurs was a wrestler they would be lance storm technically brilliant but boring as fucc to watch if not against a flashy opponent yell

The thing is, the Spurs and Pistons were two completely defensively dominant teams. You were talkin about the two best defensive teams for two years in a row playing in the finals. The two teams played better team ball then the Lakers or Celtics played in this finals. They were just lockdown defensive teams as well. For Basketball purests that was actually very good finals. The Pistons ran through the Lakers the year before with great team ball, and the Spurs beat them playing a similar style to them.
With this years finals, I just mean it was sloppy. A lot of mistakes, poor shooting. Again, I do think it was the best two teams..and I think it really was the most even matchup we have had in a finals in YEARS. But it just wasnt great basketball. The two teams played better ball getting to the finals than they did IN the finals.
you gon always be my latin queen bitch:
What we gon do or say if heat bring the heat...hows ur mother james? Haha

daygo doesn't realize that the defense in this series was a thousand times as intense as any spurs-pistons matchup...the rivalry led to pure tension in the environment, and basketball purests knew from the get-go that these were gunna be some extremely ugly grind-it-out game in the 2010 finals...but it's fun as fuck for the fans of both teams to watch, because it's almost like a boxing match more than it is a basketball game...i don't think any piston or spur fan can ever understand the intensity between the celtics and the lakers and what this really meant.

Youre right...the Lakers were a better defensive team then those Pistons and Spurs teams were LOL. When you argue man, argue points that you can win. Dont just argue to argue. If I say Tim Duncan is taller than Kobe...dont try to argue how really Kobe is taller than Duncan. Clearly those Spurs and Pistons teams were squads that were BUILT on defense. Im not arguing which squads were better cus thats pretty hard to say. But defense WAS their specialties. It was their focus. The Lakers are a good defensive team, but it isnt what they hang their hat on.

no kidding...thats because lakers go through stretches when their defense is atrocious, but when their defense is on point, as it was in the laker-celtic series, it's the strongest defense in the nba. not saying the laker team is built on defense, just that the lakers have shown to excel in defense when that's their focus...detroit and spurs were simply teams who soley focused on defense...doesnt mean that lakers never played defense on that level LOL...make sense, punk.
