I have to agree with you. This ain't your father's NBA anymore. With the advent of so many one and dones from CBB, what you now have is a league of young players who play with a lot of energy every night and that talent is spread throughout the league. Sure, you still have your super teams like GS, the Spurs, and to an extent Cleveland, but those teams can be beaten by any other team in the league (not named Sixers).
Agree about the Warriors. I was lucky enough to to go see their season closer: 4 heels on the court, season wins record, 3pt record etc.
Pretty much what I was saying. Finals I do watch. Also any game ending close which is a reflection of my love for the game not the majorities of the players or teams.
I'll come down in the middle. The offenses (other than a select few teams) aren't machines, it's the players (being pros) who are the machines. They finish many plays routinely that would draw oohs and ahhs from college crowds. As OP said so much of NBA offense is one-on-one and/or designed pick-and-roll and the 24 second clock IMO is a scourge to good team basketball. I could live with the 30 second clock we had this season, but anything less would wreck the college game.
