Perfect example of what's wrong with the league today. Analytics has taken over basketball IQ. 4 on 1 fast break, you're only down by 2 and EVERY PLAYER sprints to the three point line. That was a simple pass to Porter Jr if he just cuts to the basket

even 2k AI teammates know not to do that shyt

Analytics in no way discourages layups at the basket :wtf:


Porter’s just an idiot and everyone who was behind the three point line wanted to be the hero.
dude's writing whole tantrums on how they hate modern basketball just because a team made a dumb ass play, the misery on this site is always good for a chuckle :mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:

Right, like that's the thing...people use any dumb play as an indictment of the entire style instead of calling it what it is. Agendas at play.

Stupid low IQ basketball comes in every flavor and every style. Twenty years ago, the three stupid motherfukkers in this play probably would've cleared out expecting Jamal Murray to iso.

Murray? Yeah he prob shouldnt have stopped but the other dudes all lined up at the 3 point line. Not on him IMO
I agree with you and everyone else that they all fukked up.

But we forget these guys are pros. They got scouting, they do this for a living. Beal is a poor defender, drive to the hoop and draw a foul and end the game with a free-throw. OR immediately shoot the three while you have numbers cuz there's only 2.5 seconds on the clock and you'll have just enough time for your teammates to clean up if you brick. He had the ball in his hands, the result is entirely on him -- nobody else.

He’s clearly being coached to run to the corner and he knows Murray wasn’t planning on passing the ball anyway.

He should have sprinted up the court instead of jogged, but running to the corner falls on Mike Malone. Jamal Murray is also just a poor point guard. He should’ve attacked Beal and then the pass to the wing doesn’t look so idiotic.

Implementing a faster pace and more 3-pointers isn’t necessarily hard. One leads to the other and, according to Morris, it’s just about remembering to make the extra move — a pass, a shuffle — to get the ball out of midrange and to the corner.

“Just sprint,” Morris said. “As opposed to stopping at the break, you want to get all the way to the corner. We’re taught now if you’re in the corner, it’s a swing, swing, step up and be ready to shoot it. We shoot that shot at a high percentage. We just got to shoot it more.”
As I mentioned, MPJ going to the corner was coaching. This is from December.

Nuggets show quick pace, offensive prowess heading into regular season

if just one of those three morons other than murray cut to the goal, the game would've been over. this is the problem with these dumbass fakkits today, running towards the 3, even when it's too your detriment. they deserved to lose for having low iq in that situation.
