LUKA DONCIC PROVIDES IRREFUTABLE PROOF THAT THE NEW NBA IS SOFT AND WATERED DOWN

[mbewane]

Different rules, different style of play, different players. It's just that NBA style of play leads to more scoring than Euro style, even though you have better defenders in the NBA. Also it's well-known that players have less of a green-light on offense in Europe, so even a dominant offensive player ends up having less shots than he would have in the NBA.

Did the run & gun 80's not happen?

Did the illegal defense era not happen?

The only time defense ran the NBA was during the Handcheck + Zone overlap period from like 99-04.

If you'd rather watch a 72-68 game than a 125-120 game then watch college bball

NOTICE I DIDNT SAY 80S



BALANCE IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING

NBA has a bigger court, deeper line, three-second rule, and an 82-game regular season with defense tightening up enormously in the playoffs, but ask a Coli hot take and they'll say the NBA "doesn't play defense" and is "soft".

Yet an NBA squad giving the most minutes to KD, Carmelo, and Kyrie held the best teams in the world to 66, 72, and 78 in their last three Olympic games.

Alexey Shved is leading the euroleague in scoring at 25.2 ppg
and was mvp last year

ALL the good talent in the world is in the NBA. Any mobile 7-footer, any athletic fool who can jump out of the gym and has actual skill, they'll be in the NBA. The NBA has more global talent now than ever before and everyone else is fighting for scraps.

In Europe you see real defensive schemes consistently. In the NBA it's just in the playoffs. Which is why guys like Kobe and LeBron say real basketball is the playoffs.

Yep, those Euroleague guys play what, 30 games? With like a 4-game playoff?

When you have to play 82 games and a 20+ game playoff you're not going to go all-out in every damn game. Defensive effort on a play-by-play basis in the regular season actually increased a lot in the 2000s, and the result has been an unprecedented number of injuries cause human bodies can't take that kind of effort for 80-100 games without stuff breaking down. But when the playoffs roll around, guys like Harden (and soon to see Luca) have a much harder time getting buckets than they did against regular-season D.

They're 40 minutes games like FIBA rules.

this spoiled cac hasn't played a single nba playoff game and he talmbout how its easy to score here when most of the nba players dont give a flying fukk about regular season as long as they make it to playoffs.

I feel sorry for any black ball player who gets to play there in dallas, once the time's up and these guys ain't contending for the title someone's going to get blamed and it won't be rick carlise or luka/kristaps

i agree with your second point. first point is wrong. luka is hella humble.

 

[Kings County]

too many ticky tack ass fouls
if someone touches your hand after u shoot that shouldnt be a foul imo it didnt effect your shot
i see harden get that call every time

hand checking would make the nba enjoyable for me again

 

[Tony D'Amato]

If he don't catch a hard foul, nba aint about shyt.

 

[Premeditated]

How come we always fukk them euros up thou

lets be honest, we should be destroying them even more. The talent level is just too lopsided

but nobody cares about defense in regular season.

Can't wait until this Flabby body having cac gets exposed

You can goal tend in fiba once the ball hit the rim....

People didn't even read the full article. In Europe the court is smaller, the 3 pt line is closer, there's no 3 second rule, and no goaltending. Of course it's easier to score in the NBA there's better spacing and an open paint.
