I dont disagree. Watching the NBA now makes me feel like a grandpa but it is what it is. I dont miss the 89-84 games anymore.
The shooting skills these players have now is something else. I cant deny it

MAKE. SOMEONE. ELSE. BEAT. YOU!!!
These guys are getting cooked by Jamal Murray and haven't made a single adjustment yet. They just roll Jordan Clarkson out there to get embarrassed possession after possession.
Just trap him and make him give up the ball. Force someone else to beat you. You can live with yokich and Michael Porter taking shots, not Jamal Murray shooting 60% from the field and 50% from three

Showing my age, but I'm old enough to remember the 98-99 Rockets with Hakeen, Pippen, and Chuck which was some of the most BORING basketball ever played
So boring they implemented the 5-second post up rule cuz Chuck would back ppl down for 10 seconds every possession.So, I will never complain about the pace of today's basketball cuz it's been a lot worse

i’d argue that the nba is even more exciting now that the entire space of the floor is being used and we’re seeing a wider set of skills on display. as good as hakeem, alonzo and ewing were, the thought of watching teams play out of the post and bigs backing down players for 20 seconds.. nahh gimme dame pulling up from the logo + giannis coming down the lane all in the same game

Wasn’t that implemented way before chuck landed in Houston ?Showing my age, but I'm old enough to remember the 98-99 Rockets with Hakeen, Pippen, and Chuck which was some of the most BORING basketball ever played

boring basketball was definitely mid 90s jazz and early 2000s spurs
Teams wouldn’t even crack 90pts

Need Murray to save something in the clip for the Dippers next rd. Think they can pull the upset.

What historic performance from both Murray and Mitchell.
Both of them are balling out of their minds
Last season/playoffs I remember most people in here were making fun of the Nuggets for giving him that contract

bring royce over to help on that trap. whoever he’s guarding is likely far less effective from the perimeter.

It’s really not that easy
. Jokic on a 4 on 3 is the correct read every time. . I know y’all fan base hate the nuggets and Steph Murray - but be realistic .

As an old head who’s been watching the NBA since the late 80s, I think flagrant fouls get handed out too easily and people are a little too sensitive now about **** talking, but I don’t miss struggle offense like you saw with 90s Knicks and Heat at all. What we have now is much preferable to that.

Don't know how you can see the Clippers struggle against a depleted Mavs team and expect them to roll over anybody.

it's just annoying cuz the lack of defense and when guys are on a 3-1 fast break they pull up from 3 instead of an easy shot at the basket... also lame when guys are literally under the basket but pass it to someone camping by the three point line... still appreciate that big guys can shoot now... I remember using sabonis in 2k and shooting 3s all the time lol
