Not to be a jerk, but the NBA sucks compared to NCAA basketball. A lot of NBA players don't have the passion or even the will to play defense during the regular season and just magically turn it on for the playoffs. But, for some reason, ESPN and other sports networks cover the NBA playoffs so much, leading to more hype. NCAA basketball has passion and great moments.
Along those lines, I think the NHL playoffs and just the NHL as a league is a much better product than the NBA. That's just me.

So, how exactly does your bad opinion fit anywhere in a thread for the NBA finals?

What I am saying is that the NBA Finals are over-hyped. That's why it fits in a thread about the NBA Finals.

Cool, but here's the thing. In an NBA finals thread, exactly zero people give a fuck about whether you think its overrated or not. It is a meaningless, unoriginal sentiment that adds nothing to the discussion.

Ginobli tried the exact same thing at the end of the game last night and when he didn't get the call 1 second later his eye was magically fine and he drove towards the hoop lmao. At least wade got hit in the face by the ball, but I hate flopping. Refs were on San Antonios side most of the night otherwise

This is entirely false. It's so wrong that you've completely lost all credibility as someone who knows anything about basketball.
The Heat have one of the most aggressive defensive schemes in the NBA. They blitz every screen and still manage to drop back to protect the paint. If anything they've become more conservative during this series because the Spurs have such good playmakers.
But there's no point explaining any of this to you because you have the preconceived notion that NBA players don't "try" as much as college guys. It seems you don't actually know much about the Xs and Os of basketball and instead only care about "passion" and "will".

I agree. The Heat and the Spurs play quality defense. That's part of the reason why they are in the NBA Finals. The fact is that the majority of NBA teams allowed more than 100 points per game this year during the regular season. The NBA has focused much more on developing offense than defense, and I tend to appreciate a team that can win by stopping the other team from scoring, not just scoring an insane amount of points.
You say I have lost credibility. Did I even have any? I am not a basketball analyst; I am just a person commenting on the NBA using an Internet forum to voice my opinion.
It probably doesn't help that my area's NBA team is the 76ers. They were horrible this year...
