Hated the NBA for some reason until this year ...

Last night after watching the Warriors and the Thunder, then the Clippers and the Cavs ... no idea why I haven't watched until now. Specifically the Warriors - Thunder game. The shooters in that league ... wow. Amazingly skilled.

yes they are...

Watching Durant was amazing.

Westbrook is fun to watch to. He's a freak athlete.

Durant is ... I don't even know. I've never seen someone be able to shoot like that. What is he like 6'10? Shooting like that?

I agree the quality of NBA basketball seems to be improving. I attribute it to the depth of top flight point guards in the league that has improved team scoring and offensive basketball...and the league has cleaned up the style of defense allowed to open up the game for more scoring and perimeter play. There are always haves and have knots in any sports league but there are a lot of very good to great teams this year, especially in the west.

That OKC-Warriors game was so much fun to watch. Hope they meet in the playoffs. Would likely set post season series scoring records.

What the Spurs did in the NBA Finals last summer was perhaps the best basketball I've ever seen. I've probably seen a total of 30 minutes of NBA basketball since....
