Lebron james is clutch now according to thecoli

I know man, I don't even know how the fukk it happened.

These ADHD asperger autism babies just like to be contrarian.

I mean, these nikkaz are literally writing soliloquies defending LeBron's clutchness:hhh:when the whole world's seen him choke time and again.

These are the same type of nikkaz who argue Tony Romo is clutch based on some absurd metric that some nerd came up with

Fun fact:
6 out of the top 10 highest-scoring NBA games in the regular season were between 1983-1990 which was during the time Isiah was playing.
the 5 highest scoring playoff games were in 92, 83, 90, 87, and 67



yeah NBA teams don't play D like in the 80s and early 90s anymore.:troll:

The shooters are better because you can't close on them properly to challenge their shot or it's a foul. They also know they are going to get to go through a full shooting motion because the follow through is now part of a shot now and if you touch a guy after he has already released the ball it is a foul.

There is more floor spacing because you can't touch the ball handler so you pretty much have no choice but to concede space to him. You go under a screen to hard and have contact with the ball handler it's a foul. You go over the screen to hard and have enough contact with the person setting the screen that is a foul.

Ditto for ball movement because the man who has the ball get's this invisible buffer around him.

If the nba brought back hand checking and did away with the follow through is part of the shot rule then within a few years almost nobody would shoot a 3...it would be a grossily inefficient shot since the defender would be allowed to just ride the shooters hip AND have contact with them after the ball is released...

People act like floor spacing and ball movement just magically happened...when in reality they happened because the current rules make it the most efficient way to play basketball...

It becomes viable to have a "stretch 4" now since the rules pretty much outlaw any type of charles oakley or dennis rodman type player who pretty much spent the entire game maiming other big men when they were on defense
