Paul and Harden are unwatchable. Like some people will just power through that shit but plenty of people are tired of seeing flops, three point chuckers and the game paused over and over so mr fucking clown shoes can go to the line.
By DY_nasty Go To PostThis is a dude who'll spend an entire possession looking for an arm to hook instead of taking a 18 foot jumper.I think you're right. He took it super far.
At the same time, I find D'Antoni's approach fascinating. The guy has won a shitload of games since PHX and to some extent, I feel vindicated, as a supporter of his, that he anticipated a lot. He even inspired the GSW.
Chris Paul been a fuckboy since college. I'll never downplay 06 Wade but Harden and Paul are objectively the worst to ever get this far.
This is the head of the players association blocking practice sessions and using injuries to wander into the opposing team's huddle lol

It's the "whatever it takes" school of sports. That's why I don't watch as much soccer as I used to. And I do think the league has to turn up the repression notch on the fuckery.
Houston losing that regular season game to drop to 4 in the standings instead of staying at 2 because Pg13 hits that huge 3... Just a really poor loss for them. They needed to at least make the conference finals again imo
And why are there no games today? Dumb

Moreyball is here to stay until the NBA changes something about the rules to discourage taking so many 3s taken in a game. Nearly every team over the last five years has converted their offense to being like 75% (made-up percentage) 3s or at-rim attempts. And teams are going closer and closer to Houston's offensive model each season.
By Smokey Go To Postsome of yall are ridiculous. id expect some of this from era's bball thread smh
Lmaooooo

Moreyball isn't the devil here. Just harden and cp3 trying to cheese instead of playing the game

Harden played fine in the series?
CP3 had a bunch of bad games but he's a billion years old and has no athleticism.
Last night was the hardest looking 27 point game I've seen in a bit. Every move looked so tiring and barely successful.

Rojas a new scamgod legend. Dude dropped off a bag on Chris Paul and Capela, then dipped before they could shit the bed as expected lmao
amazing GM survivability on display

Riley fucked up because Wade was the franchise but CP3 didn't even do anything to warranty not waiting to see the market not give him anywhere close to what he got.

What can they do short of just removing the 3? It's just simple math, the 3 is simply a more valuable shot in almost every context.

remove offensive 3 seconds
allow hand checking
By Koko Go To PostNuggets haven't even beat the Blazers…
And they are not taking more than a game if they advance.
I know I just think the Nuggets are a better matchup against GS than the Blazers. The Blazers aren’t chumps though and I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat the Nuggets and advance.
By unknown Go To PostHow can anyone hate the warriors?Kevin Durant broke the league and they complain about literally every single whistle. It's unbearable.

I'd rather they just got rid of the three than do this.
The three pointer isn't bad but the game behind the three point line in general is other shit. I kinda agree with Psy.
Lol imagine losing game 1 in the WCF against the warriors and then they're about to unleash KD and Boogie on you.

By Adam Go To PostBring back hand checkingAllow some body contact below the foul line - The fact that you could restrict movement of people cutting/flashing through the lane will make smalls think twice about venturing into the paint without the ball.
Strength defensive rules by allowing some hand-checking (arm-barring) - Hand-checking was gimped twice, the partial removing of hand-checking and then when people switched to bent elbows, that was removed 15-20 years ago. Bring back the bent-elbow.
Have some rule to penalize offensive/defensive flopping in-game and retroactively - I know it's a judgement call, but the NBA has to do something to penalize flops. The Flop=tech rule was an utter failure.

"what he's doing is remarkable but you have to acknowledge that shit is for fuckbois and losers and he'll never win anything but lets not let that take away from his accomplishments. also chris paul is a conversation starter not an impact player never ask me anything about him again"
Houston probably clocks every team in the league with that style other than the Warriors. Bucks too maybe.
I think people are underselling how good that team is because they're losing to a historic collection of talent.

By Trey Go To PostHouston probably clocks every team in the league with that style other than the Warriors. Bucks too maybe.see you'd have a point if the clippers didnt have a better series against a healthier warriors team on the first fucking try while backing into the playoffs

By Trey Go To PostHouston probably clocks every team in the league with that style other than the Warriors. Bucks too maybe.Bucks destroy them too, they move the ball too and can hit 3's a lot. rockets were always overrated, i dont get year after year you guys hyping them and same results. No kd,boogie and curry off for a half time and still lost.
