Adam Silver upbeat about bytch ass NBA :scust:
- Thread starter Amirah Dyme's Husband
- Start date
You're comparing a full season to 10 or so games. Do you think players like Kemba, Lavine, Hardaway, Mirotic..etc will keep the same pace all year long?
they are trying to turn the NBA into euro league with less emphasis on raw atheltism and more emphasis on finesse so cacs have a chance again
its true, there is nothing wrong with some contact in sports, but they wanna expand their brand so they changing rules to let these soft players from european and other regions come in and have inflated stats making them look great.
Another bad thing is by trying to eliminate as much contact as possible this paves the way for refs to control the game even more now they can just blow the whistle anytime they see some contact. We're gonna see some ugly ass playoff basketball next year.
A company that slaps their logo on team jerseys can give a call and say hey I want you to make their opponents on next match get in foul trouble....1st quarter is over oops the main player has two fouls...back to bench!

We are ten games into this season. Who knows if a lot of these players will be able to keep that same pace.
And say shyt that is not rooted in any type of reality like "can't compare a 20 point scorer today versus in the past."
@FireDwaneCasey posted stats from the past to show this is a nonsense point.
Here are scoring charts for entire seasons of 88-89, 89-90, and 90-91
1988-89
1989-90
1990-91
About the same number of players averaged 20, and in 1990-91 you had some super non-scorers averaging 20.
Please make sure you research your thoughts before you say something nonsensical.
Why do the Coli simultaneously hate the old days yet sound like old curmudgeon white men?

You can defend without grabbing and holding. Nobody is stopping you from moving your feet and contesting shots

The NBA is turning into a pickup league.
Colorful distracting shoes, no defense, chucking threes, all the best players on one team scared to pick up a new 5

Swear to god some of these dudes are just making it clear that they’ve never taken a statistics course. It is way too early in the season to be drawing conclusions based on numbers. The sample size is just too small and leads to too much variance.
For example, Rose’s PPG average went up by 4.5 points after his 50 point game. In 2016-17 when he played 64 games he would’ve had to score 250+ points in a game to have that type of impact

There is a difference in teams having quality defense and watching guys brick shots.
People like scoring, true, but they also like ball movement, full court action and athletic plays. There are usually some 10-20 posessions for each team every game that are just awful to watch. If its gonna be awful, I prefer to see actual defense being the reason.
With that being said, I'm not quite sure what I really said.....don't ask me how.

Y'all nikkas panicking about shyt when the season is 2 weeks old. You can't really say anything conclusive till around Christmas
You still didn’t show me how more scoring leads to more viewership or interest.

The Euroleague is more physical and tough than the NBA
