NBA Is Awful Compared To Old Days

Look up Bird's career field goal percentage vs Curry.

I’m just messing with you. You don’t have to sell me on Bird.

See my above post. People that don’t have him in the argument of top forward of all time never saw him play or never saw extended highlights. His only curse was he didn’t have career longevity because of the way he played the game. His body broke down on him. Won three MVPs in a row. Only Russell and Wilt did that.

Agreed. Games are hard to watch.

The game changed with modern analytics. Everybody wants to shoot threes now and you should only shoot mid range shots as a last resort on offense when it's late in the shot clock. Guys today are told the only good shots available are threes and lay ups. That's why the Celtics of today take 60 threes a game and people hate watching that style of play. I honestly love watching good shooters shoot but sometimes I guess it can be boring and repetitive to watch teams shoot 60 threes a game because the analytics tells them they're getting good shots on offense.

7ft lurps jacking up 3's with no physical or post play. The Euros actually play a better brand of basketball.

Whatever the books needs are, that's the outcome that will prevail. Silver aint gonna fuk with the free cash coming from the books!

So, you’re telling me that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander never saw a guy get stabbed in the heart by a table leg?!?!

Last night, nobody knows why Leonard didn’t play. He was totally rested. The NBA is in massive trouble. Even the commissioner fed up sending investigators to see if guys are really injured.

It's all their own fault.

They're the ones who decided to let the patients run the asylum.

Yep, I think you’re right a woke commissioner didn’t help now. He’s realizing he screwed up.

The awesome days when Gus Williams and Jack Sikma and Freddy Brown were the best in our lifetime.

Not long ago weren’t they talking about moving the three-point line back farther

What happened to that?

 

[KVB]

A 20 point lead in the NBA has been meaningless for many years now.

It's the nature of the beast.

Bettors need to adapt.

Look at it this way, the opportunity to LIVE trade is there.

 

[phillyflyers]

Look at this. Ain't nobody around today can fukk with that.

Kwahi Leonard is the most well-rested man in America.

I remember being so pissed at him for doing the Spurs like he did, thinking he’d be the transition and centerpiece to the rebuild after Tim, Manu and Parker retired. Now I’m so glad they were able to get rid of him and were spared all the hassle and drama of the past decade.

The 80's truly was a golden age of NBA basketball. Back then I grew up watching it because Kentucky was on probation so I didn't watch the college game too often. That was ok because the NBA was entertaining back then and games were more affordable so my dad took me to 5-6 Warriors games a year. I was lucky enough to see Magic in person as well as many of the all time greats from the 80's. Never got to see Bird in person which is my only regret because he was my favorite player from that era but it was always tough to get Celtics/Warriors tickets because the Celtics only came into town once a year and it was always sold out months in advance for that game.

Yep, I think you’re right but well commissioner didn’t help now he’s realizing he screwed

 

[jjgold]

I don’t think they ever can fix it

Coach did you like the shorts the NBA players wore in the 80s? Or the ones today?

 

[ktollinche]

Am I the only one who is bothered by teams taking 2 time outs each in the last minute in close games.

They need to cut it down. Maybe after the first one, no more strategizing just move up and play?

I realize you cant do nothing about them "hoarding" their tos till the end, but we dont need to stand around after every possession.
