I am watching game after game and it's the same thing every time. Neither team plays any defense at all. The defense is the worst I have ever seen in the NBA since I started watching it back in the 80s.
I've never seen anything like it it's so awful. I mean damn, watching Brandon Jennings just carve up NBA defense like he's a superstar and just simply cannot be guarded. At times like he's toying with the defenses. This same player was practically useless against Euroleague defense.
It's an incredible insult to the Euroleague seeing all NBA fans everywhere and anywhere on the face of the Earth swearing up and down that the NBA has "superior defense" and that "no one plays defense in Europe". That "Euros" have to "adjust to the superior defense that is played in the NBA" and that "in the Euroleague all defenses are soft" and all this other garbage. Like, "Euro superstars would be scrubs in the NBA where they actually play defense and it's not just an open layup drill", etc.
Are NBA fans intentionally trying to be comic relief or what? The NBA might be the worst defensively of any well known league in the world. Not just is it far worse defensively than the Euroleague, but it's also far worse than other good domestic leagues in Europe. Frankly, watching Euroleague games and then switching to NBA games and then back - it's honestly embarrassing how truly horrific NBA "defenses" are. It truly is amazing how good David $tern's marketing is that with such awful defense in the NBA, that all NBA fans are thoroughly convinced that the NBA plays far better defense than any other league. It's absolutely laughable. I'm starting to think that the NBA isn't even marginally a competition anymore. It's like watching a glorified pickup game.
Even so-called "great defensive teams" like Orlando, San Antonio, the Lakers, etc. literally play no defense. I mean none. Incredible hearing announcers brag about the defense of teams like the Spurs when they literally play no defense all game long. Do NBA fans even have the slightest clue that NBA defense is a complete joke and that the Euroleague defensive level is MUCH higher? Seriously, do NBA fans not see this?
