Explain to me how they played better defense in the 80's?TierbsHsotBoobs said:

It does because guys actually have to play defense now.TierbsHsotBoobs said:
The 82 game seasons with private 21st century charter flights and soft NBA rules take a much bigger toll than the 82 game seasons of 20 years ago.BallSacked said:
Injuries have been a major problem in the NBA the past few years. OKC PDX and Miami I think all would have been final four possibilities if fully healthy this year. All are better than Hou and/or ATL at full strength.NeedleInTheSky88 said:It's a pretty lame final four. Talent wise, probably the lowest we've seen in years, maybe decades.
The only real powerhouse ATM is GS. Houston is lucky to have made it this far, and I personally think they are a weaker team than all the teams in the west who made the playoffs except for NOP, DAL, and POR. GS should handle them easily, I'd say GS in 5.
ATL is completely ovverated. They're a team that's built for the regular season, and not the playoffs. They got taken to 6 games by an awful Brooklyn team, and got taken to 6 games by a Washington team that ended the season playing very poorly, not to mention they were without Wall for half the series, and the other half he was playing with a broken hand.

Defense in the 90's was significantly better. Technically, 20 years ago = 1995.

How about this. Nobody played defense in the 80s. And defense is harder now than it was in the 90s. Just because of the rules and the way players and offenses have evolved. The ball movement and amount of good shooters now means constant running and sprinting to close out. Constant rotations.dnc said:

That's a fair point. Houston had to bench it's allegedly best player to play enough defense to save their season after all.allpurpleallgold said:

I feel like Houston played the perfect game and still lost. I thought GS played average at best today, especially for a home game. And I'm aware that Howard was out for most the game, they were probably better off without that loser anyways. It wasn't a random coincidence that GS went on that huge run at the end of the first half when Howard was in the game. Anyone else see Howard getting punked by 6'8 Draymond Green? Loser couldn't even post up a guy half his size.
