These 140-130 games are disgusting to watch. Every team has some scrub who is averaging 25ppg. Basketball used to be contact sport but now every possession is a foul. Make averaging 20ppg mean something again. That is all, thanks for attending my Ted talk

Do you think this is the only time in nba history where teams are scoring 140+?

Yep, the NBA was super high octane throughout the 60s and 80s. The 2000s are more of an outlier than people realize.

But the 90s and 2000s are still pretty widely talked about as the best era of basketball. Obviously opinions vary and it’s not consensus, but I bet it’s the majority.

And I would be fine with 140 point games if it didn’t come from 50 free throws per team every game.

I think the mid-to-late 80s are just as iconic. I suppose it depends on what generation or fanbase you talk to.

Yeah that’s fair
