playoffs

So far what I'm seeing is an interesting dynamic. The two teams likely to advance to the finals are masters of running plays. Spurs and Pistons that is. Structured offenses and lock down defense. What a shock; that's what always wins championships. It's unfortunately very boring for the casual fan to watch. But it's great for the purist.
Quite the contrary though, the Warriors do not have an offense. Or a defense. It's just an entire team of organized chaos runamuck. It's fantastic to watch. But it has no prayer of a deep advancement. The distinction is obvious. One team runs plays. The other makes them. That Baron Davis dunk the other night for example. .ridiculous. It looked something like this:
