By Pac-12 Go To PostWelcome Koko
By Kibner Go To PostGot into a dumb-ass twitter argument earlier tonight and it reminded me of this good video:
I also looked things up (https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_stats_per_game.html#stats::31) and it wasn't until the last four seasons or so that the league average ORtg is above what it used to be in the late 80s and early 90s to take the crown as the most offensively efficient era.
I really think the league will do something within the next four seasons to bring the scoring efficiency down a bit and/or increase variety of play. What that is, I don't know. I think a lot would change if they were more strict about moving screens and less strict about incidental contact and feather-light touches.
What can they do? Players like Curry and Lillard (to name a few) can shoot once they enter the half court. When you have a threat like that it opens up the entire court because you have to guard further out.
They are going to have to tweak some of the rules to help the D.. probably need to fix how they call step back 3s as well..
1. Remove offensive 3 seconds
2. Increase 5 seconds back to the basket violation to 7 seconds.
3. All screens/picks outside of the 3 point line are illegal.
would go a long way in reducing the emphasis on the 3 point shot.

If we can get that retroactive to 1993 to protect my boy, that would be great.
(I can never forget this screen.)
The Timberwolves are open for business with the No. 1 overall draft pick.It's almost like they want no part of this draft.
There are plenty of questions about the upcoming draft, from the strength of the top of the class to the actual date that it will take place. The environment demands flexibility, and that is what president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas will bring to the decision-making process in the months leading up to draft day.
“We’re going to knock on every door and we’re going to have a conversation with everybody,” Rosas said in a recent conversation with The Athletic. “We’re going to get to the bottom of everything.”
By Kibner Go To PostI blame Bud for the Bucks struggles and Kidd for fucking up Gisnnis' shot.so many excuses for the dual mvp and dpoty.
It's a wings' league. No matter how good you are as a big, if you're starting Wes Matthews and Eric Bledsoe that shit is gonna get exposed in the playoffs.
By Branduil Go To PostIt's a wings' league. No matter how good you are as a big, if you're starting Wes Matthews and Eric Bledsoe that shit is gonna get exposed in the playoffs.Yeah they need some kind of DPOTY and a MVP to cover for them.
By DY_nasty Go To PostIs it even possible to have both?Slightly more possible than having the unanimous MVP or having a 3-1 lead in the Finals before losing.
By blackace Go To PostThink like only 4 series have ever gone to 7 games after going down 3-03.
By Kibner Go To PostI blame Bud for the Bucks struggles and Kidd for fucking up Gisnnis' shot.
It's not their fault he doesn't put in the skill work. How long has Dirk's shooting coach wanted to help him now? Or Hakeem sending love letters to him.

Even though rumors of a split have been circulating for more than a year, Rockets general manager Daryl Morey told Mark Medina of USA Today the team will prioritize a new deal with coach Mike D’Antoni.
“It’s probably No. 1. That’s a fair way to put it,” Morey said. “We have all our key players signed. I think Mike coming back is super important.”

Jazz slaent has this rumor made it out to y'all yet?Julius Randle for Conley and draft considerations. Would save y'all about 15 mil next season and 10 mil overall if you waive Randle after that. I don't know what kind of draft considerations would be worth saving that kind of money to the Jaz but hell I'd be willing to do it straight up, Conleys is one of my favorite players in the league.

Let them boys crumble against CP3 and Dort in that previous series. MDA would've been fired before post game was wrapped up.
Harden bails out Dantoni again, smh
By unknown Go To Postkeep randle.According to the rumor the Knicks number one priority is moving him.
Randle has been attached to a few teams... none of them make a lot of sense for the team taking him. I don't think the Jazz do that trade unless they can get a point in return as well

By Koko Go To Post8/10 missed number 1 and 6.Some of them arguable. Also, Kemba did nothing wrong.
By DY_nasty Go To Postdon't know why the knicks gave him a 3 year deal instead of 2It's essentially 2 years only 4 mil of the third year is guaranteed.
By DY_nasty Go To Posthttps://stephennoh.github.io/nbadefensequiz/I took a version of it last night. Got 8/11. Missed on some low man concepts. :(

Got two "wrong" and closed the window lol.
Kawhi isn't even guarding a single thing whatsoever in #2, yet it blames Harrell for the last resort rim protection. In #1, Kanter doesn't recover on the roll man whatsoever--there's no need to hard trap Kyle Lowry at the 3pt line like he's Curry. If Wanamaker recovers appropriately, its an easy swing to a wide open 3pt shooter.
Multiple mistakes often lead to scores, but I tend to give a greater percentage of blame to the one that causes the need for help resulting in someone being wide open.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostGot two "wrong" and closed the window lol.I would have done better if they had put the defensive concept they were trying to display before you got it wrong.

Actually get rid of illegal defense. Defensive 3 seconds in the paint is dumb as fuck. You can’t play proper help D when in a 3-2 zone if my help guy has to “unhelp”. The offensive scheme around keeping the paint open for drive n kicks falls apart if I can park my center in the middle.
don't know about that
defensive 3 is kind of a big deal. a big that doesn't have to move means that the rest of the defense has that much less to manage
actually letting people play defense on the perimeter would be nice tho

By DY_nasty Go To Post*snip*Yeah, this would be nice. Doesn't even have to be allowing hand-checking, either. Emphasize moving screens more. Maybe even make it illegal to set a pick with legs spread further than shoulder width. I'm on the fence with a suggestion someone made about making picks outside the 3pt line illegal.

Make the sweep-through no longer be a foul of any kind. The defender's hand/arm has already established legal guarding position and the offensive player dislodging it should not count as a foul on the defender.

The only time a big should leave the paint in a 3-2 is if the ball goes to a corner or from one corner 3 to the other and the big has to fly out. The wings could play actual wing d and give up drives to a clogged lane.
