Maybe focus less on what others are doing and more on backing your own views with actions. For instance, you could just ignore this comment and the thread altogether. No one’s forcing you to read the replies, after all.

In my opinion, the real problem with the NBA is that we no longer get the marquee matchups in the Finals that we used to during the 90s and 00s, mainly because the season is too long. An 82-game grind isn’t sustainable - it practically gu
