I remember when teams used to hate watching Mike Fratello coached Cavs teams because they would rarely crack 85+ points. Games were ending with 77-72 scores :scust:
I dont understand why one extreme is better than the other...unless you're a casual.

IMO 140+ point games where kids that weren't even scorers in college are putting up video game numbers are just as trash as Alvin Williams outdueling Kenny Anderson in a 87-79 Eastern Conference slugfest.

Yeah, I hope the league finds a better balance. I don't wanna see teams allowed to play defense like the Cavs did on Curry in the Finals where they were grabbing and hip checking every time he was off ball. I also don't want to see every instance of minor contact called a foul either.

its not unprecedented pace or scoring, but its been a few generations since we seen shyt like this, and we (evidently) have officiating enacted to help the offense


which goes to tell you how fukking awful defenses were in the 70s and 80s when they DIDNT have this officiating but similar in the other regards

How does this make the game grow?



The game is not more popular than its ever been



Is there proof of this?
Breh the league is shown in over 200 countries. Basketball is the 2nd biggest global sport in the world behind soccer. The NBA is the biggest, richest, and most powerful basketball league on the face of the earth. Their earnings have skyrocketed over the past decade. Now they're going pro-scoring to try to garnish even more appeal. The old baseball adage was "chicks dig the long ball"= scoring. While baseball turned their backs on their stars and shut their shyt down the NFL and NBA embraced it and flourished. You sound like a robot/Spock on some "this is illogical" type shyt. Just put two and two together.

Scoring is the most endured part of the game. There’s a reason the most popular/worshipped players have been scorers. I mean, the point of the game is to put the ball in the hoop :russ:the more that happens, the more people are drawn in, more ratings and income.
