Yep. It's boring, unwatchable basketball. Not their fault, the rule changes made it what it is. Still, good luck with all that NBA. Boring game, meaningless regular season, and only 2 teams. Really only 1 team. [Reply]
Unwatchable basketball was when the Spurs/Pistons, Spurs/Nets, Spurs/Knicks struggled to score 80 points in their respective NBA Finals match-ups. [Reply]

Is Patrick Mahomes attempting those throws while he's in the pocket with no pressure on him?
Because Curry is attempting those shots like 5 seconds into the shot clock. It's completely fucking unnecessary what he does. And yes, I understand the argument of getting good at and attempting a lot of 3 point shots, but if you're not even going to TRY taking those extra 19 seconds to find a better position or vantage point to chuck your 3s, then yes, it's shitty basketball to watch. It's fucking slop. [Reply]

He takes maybe 2 or 3 of those shots per game. It softens the defense by making opponents come out to him and gives his teammates spacing that they otherwise wouldn't have. That's good strategy in my opinion. It would be one thing if he was missing them, but as long as he's making them, why should anyone care if they come in the first 5 seconds of the shot clock or the last 5? They're pretty entertaining if you ask me. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]

As far as Durant goes, he was just doing what Lebron did so I don't get the hate. Durant's offense has been great but his defense has been probably better and in both games he has been the best player on the court.
Yep. If you wanted to cry about while they were playing the Spurs that mostly do it with guys they have drafted and stayed their whole career I'll listen, but when they are playing against a guy that virtually did the same thing it is just sour grapes. [Reply]

An actual basketball offense incorporating all aspects of the game including lane play is way, way better.
More than 1 team in an entire league is way, way better. [Reply]
Pretty ball go far go in hoop make swish sound crowd cheer 3 points woooo wooo wooooooooooo!
Fuck running any kind of strategic offense or witnessing one-on-one matchups. Fuck ever driving to the hoop or moving and dishing. When you're on a fastbreak, don't go to the hoop, just pull up and shoot a 3, where if you miss you have zero chance of getting an offensive rebound!
And then when there's a timeout in game action, let your disgusting fucking mouthguard hang out the side of your mouth because that's really fucking cool!
Fuck Steph Curry. Or is it Stef? I don't fucking care. Fuck him. [Reply]

If it didn't work, they wouldn't do it. If post-up basketball is a market deficiency, some team will exploit it. They are doing what they have the talent to do. [Reply]
