This sounds like a cop out to me.
“Let’s not give em credit because there competition sucks.”
This one of the strongest eras in league history.
MVP caliber guys playing out of their minds.
Miss me with that, fam.

Every era has had MVP caliber guys playing out of their minds. This is the one era that's had a concerted effort by players and management to stack teams with stars leaving some teams broken and most of the rest mediocre at best. There are probably like 6 good teams in the league, and that's probably being generous.
Curry shot 6 for 17 and they still won

My style is impetuous.. My defense is impregnable

Klay deserved that injury for the dumbass way he landed. I'd excuse it if he slipped, but he ain't slip. Glad GSW won; Toronto had their chances

You see the footage of Obama walking "backstage" at the Raptors game surrounded by security guards when he sees Drake, stops, and gives him daps and a hug?
The Prez seemed genuinely happy to see Drake and talk to him for a brief minute (even though security seemed to be hustling President Obama away).
Somewhere Kanye is watching the footage like:

Out of that list I'd say GSW, TOR, MIL, HOU, POR, and DEN are good teams. The rest of them might be higher ranked teams in today's league, but that doesn't mean they are good. If we define "good" by meaning championship contending, be real. Do you really think PHI, BOS, and IND as the are now are truly championship contending?

That's something that has kinda always annoyed me about Obama. He always strikes me as a little too fanboyish when it comes to meeting some celebrities. Maybe other presidents were like that too, and I just didn't notice it. He's a president though, he shouldn't be markin out over meeting Drake or Beyonce, etc... It could just be me though.

A bunch of millionaire friends talking cash shit. No feelings. This how other players should keep it with the nigga instead of crying.
No at the bolded. And difference is GS was never up double digits in Game 1 with Kawhi not playing as well. Yall were while Curry was shooting bricks.

#1 - Your wrong on the facts.
PHI, BOS, and OKC are contending teams this year.
PHI was one shot away from advancing past the team that many have favored to win the Championship against said Warriors.
And PHI did that with Embiid playing wildly inconsistent.
PHI has an MVP caliber player
A lot of talent at the Top
And some good role players
They’d have at the very least, a puncher’s chance in the Finals.
BOS was a win away from the Finals last year.
They added a Top 20 player and one of the best scorers in the game.
The have a ton of depth and a Top 4 coach. Most of the basketball community had them penciled in the Finals at the beginning of the season.
Chemistry issues preventing them from putting it together doesn’t mean we get to pretend they should not be considered a contender.
OKC has 2 MVP caliber players a lot of length and quickness on defensive and a solid supporting cast.
They have always given the Warriors trouble and with a healthy PG I still thinking they are as dangerous as any team in the league.
Most consider that team a Contender.

#3 - Your wrong by your own Definition
Even if we use the most restrictive definition possible for a “good team” (A Championship Contender), that STILL leaves 9 teams that fit your definition.
God forbid we use a more reasonable definition of a “good team” ... then that number grows into the double digits.
You said that it was being “generous” to even have 6 teams. - in other words you thought there were more like 4 maybe 5.
By any standard, that’s a pretty aggressive exaggeration you used to try and support your point.

#2 - Your wrong on the history.
Name me any year in NBA history where there were MORE than 6 teams legitimately contending for a Championship
I could argue that for most of the 90s there was ONLY one team contending for a Championship.
The 80s were dominated by 4 teams total; for 10 years ... not just one.
You seem to romanticize past decades like they didn’t have dominant teams.
Do you think Steph and KD are head and shoulders better than
- Prime Shaq and Kobe?
- Magic Kareem, Cooper, Worthy?
- Bird, Mchale, Parrish etc?
- Jordan, Pippen?
- Duncan, Robinson, Manu, Parker, Kawhi, Pop
- Bron, Wade, Bosh,
There have always been dominant teams

I’ll say it again.
If I were Boogie, I would stay in Golden state. I don’t know what team is going to give him a bag without a full year of health under his belt.
He can be a 1B here. If he proves he can be healthy for a season they'll pay him.
Dude has seen how miserable it is to waste away on a bad or subpar team. GS is the best situation for him IMO.

If im boogie im going to the highest bidder with the longest offer. He already got injured a second time, he shouldnt risk more money on a short term deal anymore. Take the longest deal unless the money really really isnt there.
Gsw cant pay Boogie cause they are over the cap and wont have his bird rights to go over the cap for another 3-4 years. So itll be a 5-10 mil a year contract for the next 4 years.
Fuck all that play on a contender shit and set your fam up for generations.
