They let them play for sure
It makes basketball watchable again for me. I went to Nuggets games as a kid in the late 80's and early 90's and they sucked. Their team is fun.I’m enjoying this Nuggets era.
I believe they are calling fewer fouls and shooting fewer free throws than at just about any time in NBA history.If they let them play like that it might be watchable.
NBA has long needed to call less fouls and more travels.
Boston is good, they just always seem to choke. Having Holiday there helps them a ton and if they get hot from 3 look out.Denver went 7-7 in their final 7 attempts. Unreal execution in the clutch. Denver just feels inevitable to me.
A couple shaky calls at the end for the Knicks , but am exciting game.My God, what a flop. That was Fletcher Loyer-esque.
Yeah the Pacers didn’t really make enough plays down the stretch. I just hate to see a guy get rewarded for throwing himself to the floor like he’s been shot by a sniper.A couple shaky calls at the end for the Knicks , but am exciting game.
The announcer’s were literally saying a great acting job.Yeah the Pacers didn’t really make enough plays down the stretch. I just hate to see a guy get rewarded for throwing himself to the floor like he’s been shot by a sniper.
Who flopped? I'm busy watching my Bruins.My God, what a flop. That was Fletcher Loyer-esque.
I've been in Minnesota a lot the last few weeks watching baseball and everywhere I turn I see people glued to NBA games at the stadium, bars, restaurants, etc. That and talking about the Twins' pet sausage or something.T-Wolves just manhandling the Nuggets. This series might be over quickly.
Maybe the T-Wolves' drubbing of the Nuggets will put Twin Cities residents in such a good mood, you'll make it out alive!I've been in Minnesota a lot the last few weeks watching baseball and everywhere I turn I see people glued to NBA games at the stadium, bars, restaurants, etc. That and talking about the Twins' pet sausage or something.
Old Zeke. Isiah Thomas was too nice a guy to be playing with the Bad Boys. Most of them were a bunch of brawling pricks. He was a good player and decent guy.Back when the NBA was worth watching. They played defense and had great rivalries. Bulls Pistons, Celtics-Lakers. Bad boys, Showtime, MJ, etc. Now.
Players aren't better the rules have changed and allowed a lot more. Different skill sets are focused on.I grew up watching the NBA in the 90's and it was awesome in every way. From an entertainment standpoint, it was the best. I don't enjoy watching the league today.
But even I can admit that, objectively, the caliber of players today is incredible. The defense is actually so much better than it has ever been; the offense in terms of player shot-making ability is just insane now, and just about every guy on the floor can score.
And the league is so much deeper with talent that I think you won't see the rivalries anymore - that and roster movement. It really prevents 2 teams from dominating the league for a decade.
Yes to the 2nd part, but no to the first. Look at those Bulls rosters from the mid-90's. Half those guys would not sniff the league today.Players aren't better the rules have changed and allowed a lot more. Different skill sets are focused on.
In real life, Thomas was a way bigger asshole than any of those other guys.Old Zeke. Isiah Thomas was too nice a guy to be playing with the Bad Boys. Most of them were a bunch of brawling pricks. He was a good player and decent guy.

The Bulls did not have multiple 7 footers that could shoot the ball from the outside. And none of the Bulls bigs had a low post game either.7 footers who can shoot ftom the outside couldnt play today? Bulls had 3 on their roster.
Many of the bigs today could not play then. Cause they have no low post game.
3 and D was started in the 90s.
Different skills and rules are the difference. Plus these guys are dumb asf.
Bill Wennington 6-11The Bulls did not have multiple 7 footers that could shoot the ball from the outside. And none of the Bulls bigs had a low post game either.
Defense against Shaq?Bill Wennington 6-11
Luc Longley 7-3
Toni Kukoc 6-11 would have been perfect for this league.
The bigs for the Bulls were brought in for defense against Shaq and other 7 footers not their low post game.
They had the best low post scorer in the game already. Jordan.
The 90s was still a big mans league.
The Bulls were the exception because of Jordan. Changed the league into what it is today. Perimeter centric.
