I don't really see much issue with it? Some of these at the rim misses would 100% be fouls today and they weren't called. You're going to have more misses and turnovers when you can play much more physical on defense. This whole comparison is fukking stupid because everything is relative to the time and place.

Exactly, at the end of that sequence today you’d have multiple players on both teams with 2 fouls each in the first 3 minutes

Too much emphasis on the bad teams today. Charlotte Chicago etc can Chuck 3s cuz hopefully they'll get hot and catch Boston sleeping through the schedule in February.

If you don't see a problem with that clip of 2 teams in the NBA finals bricking dribbling of the foot then your just stuck off nostalgia.

I think that year In the finals Utah scored 63 points. That wasn't just great Chicago defense. That's Utah having nobody who can create offense for themselves or others.
