2% nervous this will hold up as Trae Young got away with a lot of his bull in a game I watched the other night vs the Suns. Still very happy overall

what a got

He has been bricking 3s and he’s blaming the refs

We all want to see and end to the gotry but you have to admit the league allowed players to develop under one set of rules and then changed the rules on them mid-stream. These guys (Harden, Westbrook and Durant) all trained hard to get to the FT line using any means necessary - it's engrained in their gameplay and likely muscle memory by now. Changing that is going to be difficult.

This rule has had zero effect on Curry, the Warriors are 10-1, and Steph is the leading candidate for MVP.

I remember years ago when lots of spurstalkers wanted to argue that Westbrook was better than Steph. Hilarious.

Yep

But he did try a Harden tonight vs T Wolves but the refs were not impressed

i remember when people argued that he was overrated and a wannabe kobe. back in 2013. and there was this one guy who kept defending curry saying he was going to be special.

Ew..

Yeah that didn't last.

to be fair it wasn’t anything like those stats suggest, I watched a video breaking down foûs on Harden in that game and it wasn’t that bad tbh

[Neo.]

yes it was frustrating to see those calls being made, and its incredibly nice not to see them being called nearly as much

but if anyone truly thought that stars like harden and trae wouldnt adjust and would be relegated to an 18ppg scorer the rest of their career or something, thats simply stupid. or to think that a game here and there of 15-20 FTA means suddenly those calls are being given like they once were, thats just untrue

But we all know yesterdays nba stars can’t adjust to todays nba because humans have genetically altered enough in the last ten years to mope the floor athletically with any generation that preceded it.

goes both ways

that's always been my point, not that one style is superior to the other, or one era can adjust while the other cant

60s NBA > 90s NBA tbh

But every single sport has seen improvements generation over generation. Why can’t nba fans see that?

Because of more white Americans?

I agree

Cousy would have adjusted to the 90s, he would still dominate
They don’t call him Houdini for nothing

More physical, tuffness, better fundamentals, Jordan wouldn’t have survived in that era, etc

Jordan < Sam Jones. 10 rings.

Exactly
Those 90s kids don’t know

They should call Harden "David Blaine". He disappears in the playoffs.
