How could someone stomach watching this game in its entirety?

I appreciated/appreciate all eras for what they were worth. The game in the original post is a hard watch today, but at that time it was entertaining competitive basketball between two rival teams that knew each other well. There are games in this era that will be a very hard watch 20-30 years from now too.
Reaching back 31 years to hate is crazy but NBA discourse revolves around being a hater.
Act like the Bull and Hornets didn't have a game this season where they combined to miss a record 75 3's. You can cherry pick bad games from any era.
We had several HOF players in the 90's but that era is only propped up because of MJ
If you feel like there's propaganda being spread against today's game the solution isn't to spread propaganda about the past.

Breh, you should be a politician. You're playing both sides and every angle. Where exactly do you stand?
My stance is Today's game has its faults but shyt wasn't so glorious as cats pretend back in the 90s as well.
Every topic isn't black or white. This whole Team A or Team B shyt the last decade plus is corny. Fault can be on both ends. Didn't that goofy shyt start with Dem Twilight movies
My second point is clearly about cats playing up shyt for clicks and clout today and insecurities on their end as well.
But the onus should be on the older heads to show the way respecting the game and different eras. The game was different then and very rough watching sometimes. You can appreciate it with acknowledging it's shortcomings. Same as now. Problem is now older heads constantly shytting on the game today. It definitely needs adjusting but it has its good shyt too.

Just like the let’s shyt on today’s league threads to hype the past. It’s all garbage & a part of why NBA talk is bottom tier.
A lot of hypocrites in here be in the threads crying when it’s done to today’s league. Just shameful & mods should bush these threads

Lot of folks don’t even realize that the pistons were entirely irrelevant after their 1991 loss to the bulls. They barely got past aNah breh...
It's the 90s doe
You wouldn't get it bro
I agree op, as with everything nostalgia and anti-recency bias clouds everything. People don't realize that not every 90s game was the bulls or pistons.
A lot of games had frequent scoring droughts
Celtics team where Larry played like crap and missed a game. They won 3-4 super close games and had a 30+ point loss during that series. Then they didn’t win another playoff series until 2002 or 2003.Most 90’s teams were unwatchable. The league expanded by 6 teams in 8 years and Orlando was the only one who caught a break early on so they could get good fast. The nets, 76ers, hornets, hawks, bucks, cavaliers after 1992, bullets, grizzlies, raptors, timberwolves, mavericks, nuggets outside of 1994 which is really on Seattle choking, kings, and clippers off the top of my head were irrelevant the whole era. It was the oldest, slowest, and lowest scoring era in league history by a pretty large margin. It’s a major outlier in league history how slow and low scoring things got.

Somewhat off-topic, but
When we compare mid to late 90s era to today's era, one name will always resonate with me, and I don't know if many remember him:
Randolph Childress.
He played just 2 seasons in the NBA, averaging 2.4 PPG.
I have no doubt in my mind that he'd average 15 easily in today's league.
A lot of ppl think old players are hating when they say "you couldn't play in our era", when in reality, the league has a lot of players thriving today, that would be Randolph Childress status back then(i.e. Anfernee Simons, Jordan Poole)

“Mike is great BUT…*incoherent stan babbling*”He has said many times that Mike is the greatest player he's seen.
He’s been doing this since sohh.
Imagine being upset at people shytting on the game today and your reaction is to shyt on the past.
NBA is the only league that has this problem

I think it's moreso the point that cats shytting on the game today acting like it was sweet during Mikes 90s championship run. That era and the current had/has it's opportunities to improve. I do believe the league will make adjustments as well.
It's also starting in football if you paying attention.
You have the Goat QB TB Talkin about the league being soft when he's directly responsible for the kids gloves with QBs. Would he have been able to play as long as he did under the old rules?
#RespectEras
Agreed
His insecurity and hatin'is sickening. He got an issue with damn near every major star of today.
