By Moris Go To PostWe all get to see how well the Clippers cover-up machine works.Warriors did pretty well covering for Mark Jackson when he cheated on his wife with a stripper and sent said stripper a picture of his dick which the stripper used to sue him for an undisclosed amount of money or she was going to release the picture.
A true test of any franchise tbh
Well respected preacher mark jackson.

By vic Go To PostOhh boy. People can be assholes so I can see why he did that.
Warriors claim another soul
Cavaliers. They don't need a defensive minded center that clogs the lane and can't extend beyond 4-feet out. The Cavs don't have enough shooters to make it work.

Bullshit defense line.

Lebron moves full time to PF.
Posted this on realgm--but the more I think about it the more I think that the problem with players working from the post is 70% the fault of their teammates
I rarely if ever see a guard or wing guy make an immediate strong entry pass to a player with good position in the paint. By the time they get the ball their position is weakened because the pass is bad or they have to rush a shot because they are closing in on offensive 3 seconds.
Increase offensive 3 seconds to offensive 6 seconds would help. As it is things are really unfair for post players.

There's nothing wrong with working in the post. The Warriors are just a fucking juggernaut and Steph Curry is the revolution.
Have fun with different issues but issues none the less with any of those players comin' to a new team.

Do you think that the spirit of offensive 3 seconds is being met today though?
I don't people can seriously think that 3 seconds in the post by the modern NBA big man is an unfair advantage. I'd actually consider that the minimum amount of time you'd need to secure strong positioning against modern NBA defenses in the post.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostDo you think that the spirit of offensive 3 seconds is being met today though?Right, but the reason that was done was to increase the speed of the game and make sure good defensive centers aren't just clogging the lane and preventing drives to the basket. Likewise, the opposite is true, making sure a good offensive big isn't just camping in the lane, either. AKA the Wilt Chamberlain rule.

RT @IAmDPick Miami Heat part-owner Raanan Katz said LeBron had Blatt fired. In same breath: "He tried the same with Spo, but failed."
No idea who this dude is but lol.

Might just be me but I get the point of the second violations and cockblocking centers and yet at the same time I think if a team is going to do that why not work out a strategy that's punishes them for it rather than holding steadfast to player placement rules on a court.

A major reason that LeBron left was because he and Rich Paul did not have any pull within the organization and Riley wasn't having any of it.
Lebron didn't like Spo(neither did Ray Allen) but he couldn't do anything about it.
LeBron also hated playing the 4 & playing in the post. Hated it.

You didn't necessarily answer my question though. Do you think that offensive 3 seconds is an adequate amount of time to make a scoring attempt in the post in the modern NBA?

Right--I'm not even arguing defensive 3 seconds though. Offensive 3 seconds is a completely different thing though. Extending offensive 3 seconds isn't going to instantly turn guys into a cheesing Wilt Chamberlain. The idea that we can't even think about a rule change based off of literal freaks of nature like Wilt and Shaq...come on.

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostYou didn't necessarily answer my question though. Do you think that offensive 3 seconds is an adequate amount of time to make a scoring attempt in the post in the modern NBA?Probably given that the modern big is a stretch-4. I don't think we should increase the offensive seconds rule because (and I have no evidence to back this up) the skill of the back-to-the-basket big man has declined.

Reactionary stuff meant to curtail a dominant player is wut.

I mean it's no secret that the rule changes have contributed to the perimeter players and small ball being so effective. One of the logical ways to tip the pendulum back towards low post bigs would be to do away with the 3 second rule.
We certainly don't have a "you can only stand in the corner for 3 seconds at a time" rule even though it is the most efficient shot in basketball. So I get your point.
My point is, it seems like it doesn't matter. I think Pop is smart for trying to build the antidote to the Warriors, but last night showed just how far the Spurs have to go to make up the room between the Warriors and them.
In all likelihood this is probably Kobe-Shaq or Lebron era Miami. There will be some close playoff series and all, but the Warriors making it out of the West is all but a foregone conclusion for the next several years.
By fertygo Go To PostI like Orlando, just because the main guy sounds exactly like mike breen
Haha, I knew I wasn't the only one who noticed that too.
By PSYCH! Go To PostPop scared. Warriors by 30
Prophetic.
Ref report says they missed the travel on Troy Daniels 3 pt shot, but the Cousins 6th foul irks me more. Feels like the refs are caught up in the "big man is bad" mentality.
When I talk about increasing offensive 3 seconds, I'm under no delusions that the Warriors would suddenly lose or something. It's just about making a fairer game in general. Warriors would still dust teams regardless. I just think that the modern big man gets a bad rap sometimes because the rules are so restrictive.
By etiolation Go To PostRef report says they missed the travel on Troy Daniels 3 pt shot, but the Cousins 6th foul irks me more.

the 3 second rule is fine. Most bigs operate just outside the key anyways. Even guys like Shaq did...It's funny to have this chat after DMC dominated like he did.

Hated it so much he dedicated an entire offseason working on it, and morphed into his most dominant and unstoppable form by consolidating his talent in the post game creating match up nightmares for every team in the league?
It irked him so much he won back-to-back chips within that style. Lebron wants his cake and the 10% of cake from the people signed to his agency, too.
By Trey Go To PostHated it so much he dedicated an entire offseason working on it, and morphed into his most dominant and unstoppable form in his career by consolidating his talent in the post game creating match up nightmares for every team in the league?and has completely stopped doing it since he's left, yep. Spo wanted LeBron in the post from year 1 but he only ever spent time on it after getting universally shat on after losing to the Mavs.
he had no choice in last year's playoffs but to stick his ass back in there with no love or kyrie.
By PSYCH! Go To Postand has completely stopped doing it since he's left, yep.
Maybe if Tristan Thompson could shoot a basketball, he'd go back to it.
If someone comes up with a 3 second in the corners rule people will lose their minds. But offensive 3 seconds in the key is acceptable.
It's just about being comfortable with the status quo, more than it's about making actual sense.

By 3SidedPolygons Go To PostDamn It was all good just a year ago
No it wasn't. Remember the CP3/Jordan beef
By 3SidedPolygons Go To PostIf someone comes up with a 3 second in the corners rule people will lose their minds. But offensive 3 seconds in the key is acceptable.The offensive 3 second rule goes beyond posting up though. It's also about offensive rebounds or setting picks within the flow of an offense. Imagine if a guy like Drummond could camp the lane for offensive rebounds or DeAndre for lobs or Horford camping the lane just setting picks on guards chasing after a Kyle Korver? I don't think that would be very entertaining.
It's just about being comfortable with the status quo, more than it's about making actual sense.
The thing about the corner three though is that that it's one of the furthest spots from the basket and it's so close to the baseline and sideline that there isn't much you can do to affect the game beyond a catch and shoot... and even that requires a well executed play to get a good three-point shooter the ball in that spot.
One of my favorite all time gifs of Chris Paul...
Love how some of my fav gifs of players come out of Blazer games too lmao

He was fouled several times by different players on that play. Like three hornets whacked him across the arms. I think the Two Minute report was saying that Frank wasn't the one the foul should have been whistled on.
By 3SidedPolygons Go To PostIf someone comes up with a 3 second in the corners rule people will lose their minds. But offensive 3 seconds in the key is acceptable.Offensive rebounding and pace of play would all change drastically.

the corner 3 only became a huge weapon recently. I would like to see the corner 3 moved out further...
By blackace Go To PostOffensive rebounding and pace of play would all change drastically.How do you feel about just widening the court in general?

I wonder if the Warriors become the defacto dominate team out west will the Star FA's in the next 2 offseason be more inclined to go out East? They can get their money and the best teams out East are no where near as tough, especially if they go to a team with talent to begin with.
I mean, the West has been dominant for over a decade and the stars haven't really shifted to the East besides Carmelo and that could be called a wash since Dwight moved West.
By 33MillionDollarMen Go To PostHow do you feel about just widening the court in general?I suggested that a min ago... don't know if owners would go for losing a row of big money seats tho
