Kyrie on Mark Eaton
Look at this ogre
First minute in and the announcer is calling for an illegal defense on Eaton cause he's just leaving Dream to stand in the lane. If he played today the first play of the game will be a screen to get him on Kyrie

The charge rules have killed some of the good defensive plays we used to see.
Again, I'm prepared for that flaming. I knew it would sound preposterous to most.
I just feel like the NBA has kind of been solved. If you shoot 3s at a 35% clip, it's statistically better than shooting 2s at a 50% clip. So the tempo, the look and everything about the way it's played changes.
I would actually like to see a period where a big can dominate a quarter with some beautiful post moves. Or a great mid-range shooter be unstoppable in their comeback with some back to back isos.
On the flip, I want to see what happens when you force a team to really take it to a real Gobert level paint defender.
That being said, I understand. Respect.

Ball screens were meant to give commoners a fighting chance to compete which is why it developed in leagues full of unathletic white boys.
Only a select few each generation will have the god given talent to feed themselves.

You still have to generate those 3s. That's the difficult part. And for arguments sake shooting 3s alone at a 35% clip means you're going to lose a lot of games. That's below league average.

H-Town it's NOT our year
Most blocks nowadays are called as fouls 
It kills me inside when I see 6’10 guys attempt to take charges from significantly shorter guys
Its like wtf, block that sh!t
facts...luis scola was born a few years too early he'd be the next white hope. Setting 4 screens in a row at the top of the key and hitting 15 ftrs
But in the past too many bums were given the keys to a franchise.
I blame the larry hughes n eem's generation
This soul less ball screen style is the nbas version of the bailout. They had to do something.
It's tacky /repetetive and gets me dizzy as fukk.
I feel motion sick when i really get into a close game
Saw that sh!t last night with duke, dude got his fifth foul trying to take a charge and fouled out the gameRefs should always call a blocking foul in those situations and just look at him like
no one is callin Steph the GOAT though?
And Reggie Miller did that shyt his whole career.

Didn't Coach K have them trying to play zone and then they got lit up
Plenty of people think he has a shot at Top 5/10 and as the GOAT PG
Dudes like Reggie Miller and Rip Hamilton aint perceived anywhere near the same breadth as Steph stop it slime
2000s offensive cornerstones could feed themselves to a far greater extent then these new cats....damn shame when I gotta call Lebron a last of a dying breed smh
