My thoughts on what is wrong with the NBA

PHXSUNS31

9:49am

Top of the key PnR with three point shooters in the corners. Repeat.

Iman23

9:55am

That sounds so boring. Can you imagine Stockton/Malone running something like that? Ugh

10:31am

50/50 PnR or post Malone on elbow or a bit lower just outside the box.

10:34am

Ok so we have PnR and then Malone going one on one with his defender in the post?

10:47am

Yeah. The post game and ISO initiated in the midrange is nearly completely

Agreed. But it's fun to watch some variety. Plus the greatest players the

I don’t think the nba front offices & coaching staffs care if the fans want to

LakeshowCougs

11:25am

Yes they want to win. But it's homogenizing the game. That's the problem. I have

I don’t think anyone does. If you try to stop shooting as many 3’s as other

Uggh, such boring basketball.

11:18am

I don’t see the issue with this. In the 90s, nobody was shooting 3s and only shooting midrange. Now, everyone

11:41am

Didn't Boston win it last year? One of the top markets.

WJCougar

9:57am

They did…maybe they turn into a dominant team, but they don’t have star power

PHXSUNS31

10:18am

Bingo. The best player on Boston is . . . Tatum? We say that but in the biggest

LakeshowCougs

10:39am

Boston is the answer to the question, what if you made a team of 2nd/3rd options

PHXSUNS31

100%. Awesome team that no one cares about

I love the current product. The talent is off the charts. Parity creates a

The last two summers have been awesome with FIBA play! Everything but the

I’d be happy to incorporate some fiba rules

PHXSUNS31

10:19am

I'd love to let each team choose a 3-pt line for their arena. Lines can only be

I’ve heard that mentioned…seems a little drastic, but I’d be fine trying

PHXSUNS31

11:47am

How many teams were more dominant than the Celtics last year? 64 wins

10:05am

I’m talking over multiple seasons. I think them becoming a juggernaut would help

PHXSUNS31

10:19am

If they were to win the next two, who would be the hero or villain?

10:32am

That kinda sounds like you agree with my overall point

PHXSUNS31

11:43am

The biggest star in the league is on the biggest market team in the league

12:09pm

I think you are still agreeing with me. The NBA needs another LeBron/Warriors

PHXSUNS31

1:26pm

Why didn’t being in Cleveland matter for LeBron but does for Jokic in Denver?

1:46pm

Because people wanted to tune in to watch LeBron, regardless of the team he

LakeshowCougs

2:19pm

Well I think it did matter at first…he had to go to Miami.

PHXSUNS31

2:21pm

The competition was down in East and somehow a not great Dallas team made

People say they want parity, but they don’t really. Parity is boring.

TCuz

10:08am

Yep that’s what I think too

PHXSUNS31

10:20am

You’re right. People want a team or someone to cheer against

LakeshowCougs

10:40am

People want urgency. That is what is wrong. When games matter people watch.

Baron

10:32am

That is a problem. Because 18 game season they all matter. 82 game season

LakeshowCougs

10:41am

Yes I agree with that too. Not sure how you do that with 82 games

PHXSUNS31

10:57am

I don’t think the season length is the problem. We’ve had an 82 game season for 50 years

11:15am

Entertainment is not the same as 50 years ago

Baron

11:16am

So it sounds like people are no longer watching for the skill in the game. We just want drama now.

11:42am

I would agree with that. People don’t consume media or sports the same way.

Frankly, I don't like watching players chuck from distance on a constant basis.

bob falfa

10:50am

No. That’s not basketball. That’s gimmick ball

LakeshowCougs

11:00am

The game contains a variety of "gimmicks". From three seconds to the 3 pointer.

bob falfa

FG% has been on the rise since the late 90s.
