Quote:I agree with the comment that this NBA season kind of sucks.  The storylines that were all building up over the years is dead and below average is the theme of the Eastern Conference. 

Think about the NBA 3-5 years ago:

 

* Boston & Cleveland were battling for the conference title

* LeBron forms the Big 3

* Nets obtain Garnett & Pierce and move to Brooklyn

* Melo back to NYC

* Bulls serious contenders

* Lakers form Big 3 (Kobie, Dwight, and Nash)

* Indiana emerges as legit title contender

* Thunder favorites in the West (Westbrook & Durant lead youth movement)

* Aging Spurs look to remain a power (understatement of the decade - lol)

 

FAST FORWARD TO 2015

* Hawks & Warriors lead their conferences.

* Lakers, Celtics, Sixers, Knicks all suck.

* LeBron moves back to Cleveland but is hanging out on South Beach getting medical treatment

* Wizards on the rise but nobody cares.

* Spurs don't give a crap about the regular season

* Thunder -- banged up.

* Bulls - banged up.

 

The playoffs will be good but man, this regular season is bad

 

To the casual NBA fan who is only interested in superstar headlines, yeah.

 

The other way to look at it is The Bucks are a nice surprise with Mayo and looking to move up in the east by adding Martin.

John Wall should be in the talk for MVP.

Millsap, Teague, and Horford are developing something special in Atlanta.
