The 2017 Cavs & Warriors score more in a quarter than those teams did in a half!! That's my time though. Those games had an intensity for me that can't be matched today. When I watch a game today where no one is in the paint but rather around the three point line it blows my mind. Lol!!

I always said to myself the 90s Knicks-Heat's slugfests are responsible for today's free flowing game. Those games were so ugly to some that it spurred rule changes to help the offense.

Give me those early competitive games over today's any day of the week. Sure the fighting and cheap shots were over the top sometimes, but can you honestly say you've seen a lot of true competitive series like those in the 80s and 90s (Eastern Conference) in this era? Today's play-offs are mostly boring shoot-outs, blow outs and whistle parties for the least bit of contact.

Thats why I wish MJ had never retired the first time. The 1994 playoffs would have been so hotly competitive and at the end we wouldve witnessed one of the greatest finals series ever between the bulls and rockets. The 1993 playoffs is still considered as one of the greatest playoffs ever because of how competitive each game was in both conference.

Oh I agree. Those were some fierce battles and rivalries. Seemed at least on the court players/teams truly disliked each other. Today all the top players want to do is play with each other. Golden era was at least in my lifetime the 80s and 90s.

I say the golden era was from 1980 to 1994.

You really don't

But seriously some people like that style, but give me today's free-flowing game (or the game of the 70s) over those slogs anyday.

If anything, it would be cool to see like 1-2 teams in today's NBA play that way just as a difference/juxtaposition to the high pace of everyone else.
