OP needs to shave his beard and play Bertans more, tbh... and stop quitting in the 3rd quarter
May as well accept it...ive always said size and defense wins (and still will if applied correctly) but basically nothing to lose at this point but to sign a team of players 6-8 or less who can simply dribble and chuck.
If spurs lose next game, pop should roll out this lineup for game 6:
Mills
Green
Simmons
Leonard
Bertans
To start game, with simple instructions:
Just go out there and chuck as many 3s as you can. Just keep shooting. On defense, just defend your man as best as you can, if they score oh well, just run back and chuck.

But threes come after confidence is gained which starts inside. You start pounding them inside, Green, Mills and Kawhi and maybe even Pau can start draining them from outside.
Great post.
Yup, this is definitely where the league is headed. Teams will now build a team with a penetrator surrounded by shooters camping out behind the arc. s already boring as and it's only going to get worse. I might be done with the NBA soon.
Pretty much. The dominant big man will soon become, if it hasn't already, extinct. The meme bros have inflicted their cancer onto the rest of the NBA and it's quickly becoming a small ball game of hucking up 3 pointers on every possession.
My son's think dribble moves gets ooooo's an awwww's is doing something in basketball. Every kid I know is a GS fan all of a sudden but never watch any gms. I quit watching football with all that pussy ball. Can't hit high, can't hit low, this is a catch, this ain't a catch. ing pathetic. s are gonna start turning into KD... if you can't beat'em, join'em!
Its weird cause i was watching some 90's games lately and the 3 point shot was rarely even used and rarely even made lmao...i was like jeez these guys couldnt shoot 3s for back then. What a difference now
The 3 point shooter has to jump into defenders or make sure the defenders seems to be in your landing area, even if you have to move 2' sideways in the air.Not just about chucking
Patty
Murray
Simmons
Leonard
LMA
Bench rotation of

Gasol

Game 1: Rockets couldn't miss a 3 = Rockets win
Game 2: Rockets missed almost all the 3s = Spurs win
Game 3: Rockets missed almost all the 3s = Spurs win
Game 4: Rockets couldn't miss a 3 = Rockets win
Thanks for your participation...
Spurs have 3pt shooter = we love the 3
Spurs have for 3pt shooting = the 3 is killing the game
The NBA has protected shooters (for a good reason) but it has gone to far. You cannot touch a perimeter player, but damn you can bash a interior one. What NBA need to address: Stop this fouling 3 point shooter crap and enforce moving screens. Be far far more stricter on moving on a screen.
Didn't the Spurs win a le recently by playing this exact way?
"...we might be seeing the basketball version of an economic concept known as Goodhart's Law, which holds that when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. (In sports terms, violating Goodhart's Law is roughly akin to "playing to the drill.") In the curious cases of the Sixers and the Rockets, it's quite possible that both teams have forgotten that three-pointers and shots at the rim are indicators of good offense, and not necessarily good offense in and of themselves—less a cause than a result."
Not really, Spurs still played two traditional bigs and they didn't just run and chuck mindlessly centering on the pick and roll game of one guy. They ran sets, moved the ball around, and got open looks from anywhere on the floor: threes, on the paint and the midrange.
The only team to win a le playing that exact way was Golden State in 2015.
Then they shot themselves out of a le playing that way just one year later, looking completely frightened and lost at the end.
It is by no means certain that this style will carry the day with NBA GMs going forward.
We're just as likely to return to "live by the jump shot, die by the jump shot" as the future unfolds.
when the spurs took the league by force with 3's, nobody here complained
i think that just some people see this moreyball as gimmicky. when spurs were doing that they weren't gimmicky. they used bigs, shot midrange, slowed the game down when needed, didnt shoot 3s based on analytics but shot threes because it was the best shot in a long evolved process.when the spurs took the league by force with 3's, nobody here complained
that being said. im not in favor of moving the 3pt line.
outside of a couple of harden shots, its not like the rockets are chucking up wild contested 3's. they're generating open looks at will.
I love the art of finding the open man on the perimeter with continuous ball movement. It's when these guys isolate, fade away, with no follow through, turning around, all teammates standing around watching, with two hands in their face and swish home a three. Then do some handmotion insinuating they knew it was going in all along. Sure, you'll have games where that just so happens to work for you. That's something you thank God for at the end of the shot clock, not something your team lives by. That's where I draw the line on my 3 point love/hate.
to my understanding rox arent using bigs and going for the mid-range shot as the basis for their philosophy. they either go for layup/dunk or chunk the 3 more times than not. spurs i dont believe ever did this as a basis in their philosophy. rox are more small ball dominant/minded.
NBA is such a joke now, I honestly hope it dies a horrible death. 50 3 pointers a game, refs don't even call carries anymore when literally every player does it with every dribble. NBA is all style and no substance at this point. Once they put ads on jerseys they are dead to me.
Warriors VS Cavs NBA Finals every yr......Sounds about right to me......Well intill Lebron retires.....Couple more year's guys...
