Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!
Not really a complain, my whole thing is, the NBA is league where it's almost impossible to go from being just another team to being a real contender. Most of the teams are in the league, are nothing more than just fillers.

Game 1 was close until the 4th quarter but ended with a double digit gap, games 2 and 3 they traded like 95-75 games, either game 4 or six was the 100-70 game. That series was just no bueno.
I liked the Twin Towers Spurs (in hindsight, hated them for beating my Knicks), don't really remember the 2003 team, but the 2005 and 2007 teams just had some ugly fukking basketball games.

Don't use the Wizards as an example of anything. This is a poorly ran organization from top to bottom and has been that way for over 30 years.
The Wizards could be a big market team with right leadership but it will never have the right organization structure.
Youse a wild dude. They'll do well to finish above the Nuggets.
I'm not sure that's a bad thing. Liverpool have never won the premier league, for example, and I'm happy with that.
Bullets/Wizards fans, as a Knick fan I have lived a decade in your world of inept front offices and playoff hopes ending in the first month. I understand your struggle
But fukk you nikkas we made it
Honestly these past 2/3 seasons, are the worst it's ever been for the Bullets since I started watching Basketball(1991), we were just mediocre to average, now it's just
Mate I'd bet that easy.

Have the fallen off like that?
They were balling just a few weeks ago?
Frush, the Wizards are a bad organization. If they didn't play in DC, they would be moved to Seattle. This is a big and attractive market and yet the club is ran like we are Milwaukee or or Sacramento.
How would you change it? More draft picks? I have a feeling they did that 30 years ago or maybe it's just because there were less teams it seems like there were wilder drafts.
More trading flexibility? Feels like it would skew to big markets/higher investors.
Making it harder to keep draft picks? Turrble.
A little. I'm talking ignoring the playoffs. Basically I don't see them having a better record than the Spurs, so it's a dogfight for homecourt between them and the Nuggets, same way it was with them and the Clippers last year.
I don't know, to be honest, but in a franchise systems, at least to me. You have to find a way to make teams matter, in their own fukking market at least.
There is no changing it, really unless you want to ban guys from staying with one team for their whole career. Like said before, the superstars play a huge role in winning a championship.I personally like watching teams grow into powerhouses like the Thunder, Bulls, Grizzlies were 1st round cannon fodder and have grown over the years into something more.
I think mattering is a very abstract thing. What matters to person X doesn't necessarily matter to person Y. The league needs to be trimmed by a few teams, but poor decisions and bad luck will always cost some more than others. Blazers should be the best team in the west right now.
I agree.

Those are very different Grizzlies teams you're referring to.
