Most boring NBA team to watch

I don't watch sports to root for my local team so much as I like to see some entertainment. With that said, the Spurs have hurt the NBA because they are boring as shit. I care less about the NBA now then ever.

pistons spurs.. by far. But most of the Eastern Conference is unwatchable.
you see more fumbled passes, shitty passes, massive bricks.. complete 6 foot from the basket air balls, etc etc. It seriously looks like the WNBA when you watch the Eastern Conference.
best teams to watch are Pheonix, Sac, Dallas, Miami (sometimes), the Grizz, Seattle. (as of last year)

Of the teams I never tune in to watch cause I just don't care about em, Grizz, Seattle and the Clips. Some of em run an "exciting" game but they just aren't fun for me to watch. Well look at that, all in the west too~

Memphis?
I think L.A. will be a fun team to watch this year. Dallas, Sacramento and Phoenix will keep doing their thing - and won't win. I enjoy one-man shows too... so Philly and Cleveland are a blast. Young teams are good, even when they don't win... ya'll should check out Chicago this year. If you want a young, talented team to root for... that's it.
However... San Antonio is only getting this 'boring' rap because of the finals. I'm guessing that many of you didn't watch the playoffs, or the regular season for that matter. The most remarkable thing about SA was their ability to adapt. Phoenix had the fastest, hardest-pushing offense in the league. When Dallas played them, we tried to stop that while running our own offense. It didn't work. San Antonio met that overbearing offense head on. They had the #1 defense in the league, up against the #1 offense... and they simply said, "we can do that too." So... they ran along with Phoenix. If ya'll watched THAT series, you wouldn't complain. They ran them into the ground - winning in 5 games.
Furthermore, if you understood basketball a little better... you'd appreciate the defensive game a lot more. The San Antonio / Detroit series was one of the most exciting finals we've seen in a while.
cliff notes: Watch more basketball.

If Herb Williams remains as the head coach of the Knicks, the Knicks SHOULD be exciting to watch. Isiah is trying to turn the Knicks into a Eastern Conference version of the Suns.
C- Frye
PF- Sweetney
SF-Thomas
SG- Richardson
PG- Marbury
I am assuming this would be the starting 5 as of now.

Ranked teams by interest because I'm at work and bored.
Toronto
Phoenix
San Antonio
Dallas
Miami
Cleveland
Sacramento
Lakers
Orlando
Houston
Charlotte
Detroit
Indiana
Denver(They're fun, but I can't stand the local announcers. Worst in the league IMO)
Washington
Atlanta
Utah
Philly
Minnesota
Chicago
Boston
New Jersey
Golden State
New Orleans
Portland
New York
Milwaukee
Clippers
Seattle
Memphis
Nothing to do with style. Mostly because I want to watch a specific player(Orlando) or because I think they run a good system(Charlotte, Utah)

Sweetney is getting traded. If Isiah gets his way, probably for a PG or a skinny PF/C with a fat contract. Too bad Bradley retired~

Warriors was pretty fun to watch after they got Baron Davis. They ran a lot more.

People who claim the Spurs are boring are generally televised entertainment fans and not basketball fans.

IMO Manu is one of the most exciting players to watch. Top 5 atleast.

That fucker reminded me of Sarunis Marchalonis. Both of them are left-handed and drive to the basket like they were insane. Although, ginoboli can shoot the 3 better.
