The Regime Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Celts are #7 at best. Atlanta is ranked too far down the list, and Spurs have never been exciting to watch lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Celts are #7 at best. Atlanta is ranked too far down the list, and Spurs have never been exciting to watch lol. Speak for yourself. Iso ball is boring, and the Spurs always put on a good showing. Why is Sac-town a top-10 team? They look like the most boring team to watch in the West.

Sacramento has this Tyreke Evans character, not sure if you heard of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 List isn't surprising. You got the elite teams (Celtics, Heat, Lakers, Magic, Bulls), and the teams filled with young talent (Clippers, Knicks, Wizards, Kings, Thunder). Boring.

Owner Real Deal Posted October 17, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I wouldn't say the Spurs are exciting. More like...nice. Refreshing to a basketball mind? I don't exactly get up off my seat watching a team like the Spurs, but I do learn a lot. And, yeah...lots of bias. It's Simmons. I could've told you Boston was going to be first on this list before I even knew what the list was for, as long as it's positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YugoRocketsFan Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I dont know why the Rockets are 17th, they should be top 5, this isnt just a fan perspective but when Yao was injured last year and we played much faster, and our players were playing like it was their last game every night in the 09-10 season, and it was super exciting to watch.

Newman Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 This list is obviously subjective to the person's liking, but I like most of the list (besides Boston at #1 and Sac at #9). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Obviously he puts the Celtics first, its almost a running gag now that he favors the Celtics in almost anything if you keep up with his column. Still it doesn't make his articles any less entertaining for me and I don't have much of a problem with his list either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 you're looking at them wrong. There are lots of teams with one arbitrarily good player. Utah has Deron Williams for example...and unlike Sacramento, the rest of the Jazz don't suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Here's MY rankings from most and least exciting to watch... 1) Utah---Efficient team offense is exciting to me, okay!2) Mia3) Hou---Hard work is exciting to me, okay!4) LAL5) OKC6) SA---Getting the job done professionally is exciting to me, okay!7) Chi8) Bos9) Mil---Overachievers getting by on guts and smarts is exciting to me, okay! 10) Por11) Mem12) Den13) Orl14) NY15) Pho16) LAC17) Cha18) Wash---Gilbert Arenas is one of the most boring players in the game to watch.

Flash Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) Since when is basketball player with 4 players? Its not, but there's a lot of young talent on the Kings. I don't see a lack of talent there right now to be hoenst. It just has to be developed. Washington needs to be higher as well. Wall is going to be one of the most exciting players all season and it'll be interesting to see if Blatche builds on last year and the development of McGee.

Erick Blasco Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Tyreke Evans, DeMarcus Cousins, Jason Thompson and Carl Landry on a team is considered limited talent? Sheesh. Cousins is a rookie, who knows how much "talent" he has. Jason Thompson has done what in his NBA career to make anybody want to tune in to see him play. Does anybody on the Kings play defense? The one guy who did (Nocioni) got banished cause he didn't bow down to Evans. That's not a team I particularly want to see play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a career 11 and 8 guy who will benefit from both Evans and Cousins being there. I think you're selling Cousins short as well. He's as talented as any big man that's been drafted recently.

He's a career 11 and 8 guy who will benefit from both Evans and Cousins being there. I think you're selling Cousins short as well. He's as talented as any big man that's been drafted recently. Every team (except like...Detroit) has players who have real high ceilings. The Warriors have players with real high ceilings. The Nets have players with real high ceilings, the Sixers have players with real high ceilings...Let's watch some teams with players who don't need stepladders to meet their ceilings. You know what team doesn't have players with high ceilings? The Lakers, cause they already live on the roof. Let's watch those teams instead of getting too hyped about a defenseless two-guard with poor court awareness playing the point. Evans is a nice player, and the Kings have some nice pieces. I enjoy watching them play on offense, but I'm not running home from wherever to see Jason Thompson block a shot, miss a layup, fill a lane, and be in one place when he needs to be in another.
