no, more 3s = more points and most fans love that
That and making moving screens entirely legal. Big man screens, then starts moving into the defender so the defender can't get around him. Somehow that's legal. Also the step-backs and side-steps that previous eras would have called travels. Nowadays you can not be dribbling, step way to the side and shoot and somehow that's not a travel.
That was the weakest POs in decades bro
Ridicuous low IQ and tactics, iso ball and immature teams in building mode, not there yet.
East was the worst with too many injuries and Boston having the easiest path the the le in recent memory.
I'm optimistic tho, it'll get better once the Lebron and Co leave bc we're in a transition period and a new generation is coming up.
They are converting off assists, 33 assists last night and 47% 3 pt shooting. They’re moving the ball and finding easy open shots.
The playoffs last year were awful.That was the weakest POs in decades bro

The year before was great because Denver that year was fun and we got to see Miami come out of nowhere.
Boston is one of the worst teams to watch I've seen in a while. Boring as .
Boston managed to make the least multi-dimensional 'stars' we've ever seen into really effective players, but it's the league rules and the fact that the league is filled with nothing more than above average teams that would get slaughtered in most other eras.
Those other teams from other era's would get slaughtered if they had to play todays nba team with today's rules because none of those old teams had near enough shooting to keep up.
I'm talking sticktly bb
Entertainment wise the 1st round was fun and then a couple games and that's it
The league is getting so much younger and teams give the keys to much younger/not there yet players that it's hard to expect much quality. Especially if you add a lot of roster turnovers.
Not surprising Boston dominated with a higher IQ and team bb than average, it gives me hope for the Spurs, except for Okc we can dominate again in a short future imo
You think the Kobe Lakers, Nash Suns, Big 3 Spurs etc wouldn't match??
+ What you give up somewhere you gain elsewhere, this is the weakest Big man era of all time, post up game and bbiq at it's lowest if you compare other eras.
If bigs weren't shooting 3s, they were still were mobile and would destroy the paint nowadays.
Right. What we're seeing now isn't real basketball. It's a set of rules designed to coddle offenses and appeal to little kids and casuals. Put any of these teams against truly great teams of other eras with real rules and they'd get absolutely destroyed.

Yeah too much iso ball last year, especially Antman and Jalen
Fact
and they wouldn’t be able to cover a lot of ground and swith on both ends like today’s players do
And the league is more talented from top to bottom today, that’s not an opinion it’s a fact
The NBA is even considering expansion to dilute the league a little bit
It’s just one game, but damn, Randle doesn’t fit with the Wolves at all. I never really watched him play before, but he played with almost zero effort on both sides of the court (at least when the ball isn’t in his hands). Knicks fans are saying this is just who he is. If that’s the case, it’s going to be a long season for wolves’ fans.
lol, no. This is what little children say.
Players nowadays are barely skilled. Can they hit jump shots? Yes. That's pretty much the only thing they can do. Barely any of them can dribble, much less execute anything beyond swinging the ball to the perimeter. No ability to break down defenses or make significant reads. The officials do most of the work for them.
It's amazing how stupid people can be about skill levels. It's just dumb to think these players now have any variable skillsets whatsoever.
I know. When the spurs have juggernauts like Maliki Braham off the bench.
Maybe nash suns and the 2012 - 2014 spurs could stand a chance. Other old time teams just don't play fast enough or shoot enough 3's to keep up.
The slowest teams in todays nba as far as pace play faster than the fastest teams from the 2000 and most of them from the 2010's.
Those teams just literally wouldn't be able to get shots up fast enough and make enough of them to compete with even someone like the sacramento kings, let alone boston or dallas.
Imagine a team with Shaq and Kobe on it consistently trying to shoot AT LEAST 30 three's a game.
Were they? It was really just the darling Knicks story in the first round and DEN-MIN semifinals series. And that MIN series had a few turds in it too.
It was actually pretty weak
OKC-NOLA was boring.
Watching Suns get swept was top entertainment, tbh.
Same goes for Lakers being unable to get over the hump even though they were close in every game.
Mavs-Clippers would've been great if not for nephew doing his thing.
East got ruined by injuries, Sixers-Knicks was great.
Second round had three great series.
Conference finals were a disappointment, as were the finals even though Mavs losing is always a good watch.
Obviously there were better years, but I'd say playoffs were solid.
Yeah, you can say it's kind of pointless that early rounds are entertaining if you know who's going to come out on top in the end, but that applies to most seasons, tbh.
It's all about refereeing.
Allow Shaq to bulldoze everyone and teams run out of bigs to throw at him.
For every high volume 3pt game that pays off, there are a handful where chucking teams look like idiots. Even Celtics had way too many of those in the playoffs, where they just almost chucked their way out of it.
Sengun bullying Charlotte and Thompson just flying around all over the place
Charlotte looks like trash.
houston is just overwhelming them. im not sure why miller has been planted on the bench though. only 10 minutes played as we close the first half.
feels lucky they're only down 11. houston is just coming in waves. dominating on the glass. bridges has played poorly and cody martin seems to have quite the expanded role for whatever reason
lamelo looks great though
I think Ball looks awful, tbh. The shots he takes aren't even high school level. Just doesn't understand how to play in a system or doesn't care.
Not sure what's up about Miller. Charlotte just has no talent and Ball is a non-serious basketball player.
Houston needs to figure out a direction soon. It has system players and iso players. Clearly way more talent than Charlotte and play more cohesively.
Ouch, looks like that's it for Wiseman's career; probably just tore his achilles and has no guaranteed money for next season.
Good thing he robbed GWG for 4 years
Onyeka Okongwu looking like prime Shaq out there for ATL
