Think this might be a 5 series game if it carries on like this, 6 at the most.
if THAT is the move your nbets players comes up with for a potential game tying 3, yeah... prolly in 5
I blame the league for pussy-fying the game, players are rewarded for play acting and drawing "fouls".
Another reason Jordan will always be the GOAT, the type of defending and physicality he had to play against every night is incomparable to the modern day where shooters are overly protected. They have literally changed rules in order to benefit whoever is on offense.
was talking to a buddy who hates the modern game... and i kinda get it....
and i was saying .....at least Jordan was actually tryna score...down there amongst the violent trees...
these guys just try to draw fouls...
he was plying this idea that you shuld be able to take steph outta the game... i dont think its as easy as that... the arc is alot of linear footage to defend.... and steph can dribble past guys cos hes gota mad handle.,..
anyway.... in one way i think its cool that SHOOTING rules... i mean... im 6'1" and ended up playing against the tallest player in pick up games a lot. and i'd get backed down and banged around by guys who were 3-4 inches taller....
were they BETTER than me? no just bigger.
and i hated shaqs game just bulldozing people... jabbar was superior in so many ways.....
