This is pretty amazing. Just to think, if they hadn't lost a couple close games to Washington and Dallas, they would be on a 35 game winning streak right now and have the longest winning streak in the history of the NBA. Wow.

One reason, well two reasons, that the suns win 17 in a row, and are a good baseketball team.

One: They play defense.
Two: They push the ball, they don't try to do halfcourt offense like every other team in the league.

Those are both the reasons I hate the NBA. I was watching the Spurs vs. Lakers game sunday afternoon. Neither team pushes the ball up the court, and neither team plays defense. That is one reason, that Kobe and Lebron dunk just about every other play.

The streaks over, T-Wolves just beat them.

I haven't kept up on the NBA too much this year.. but last I checked, Lebron doesn't play for either of those teams. That, and Lebron is an amazing all around player.. to say he just dunks is a relative joke. Look at his stat line.. I mean, he passes the ball around pretty well, and while I don't think he'll win defensive player of the year, I think he does his part.

Yeah, you took it wrong, I didn't mean it for lebron to be on those teams.

They dunk every other play because if they barely juke someone out, the other guy just gives up and lets him go, and then everyone in the lane just moves out to put on a show for the crowd. I love the guy, and he is good. I just don't think the NBA plays defense compared to HS and College ball. Nor do they push the ball up the court.

Well to be honest the NBA is a complete bore to me. I like college ball but the pros just put me to sleep.
