The Official NBA Season Thread: RIP Kobe šŸ

Top 3 reasons why the league is watered down right now:
1. Three chucking. Mid-range game is dead and the post-play is a consolation for not being able to get off a good look from 3. Derozan is the last of a dying breed.

2. Zero physicality. Smacking somebody in the head gets you kicked out. *****. This makes me appreciate Draymond more, in a soft league heā€™s one of the few still willing to go upside somebody head if they get out of pocket. Bring back the hard fouls and enforcers. The league needs villains, everybody canā€™t be the good guy.

3. Load management. Piggy backing off number 2 if the league is softer on fouls how tf are guys getting hurt more now than ever. Dudes be out with hurt fingers and stubbed toes, cut it out. If it ainā€™t broke, twisted or hyper extended you need to out there, folks pay too much to see half the roster for the majority of the season.

Who do you think is still load managing?
 
You ever heard of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander?

Actually, if you look at the top 10 scorers in the league right now, all of them except LaMelo have a good to elite mid-range game. With SGA at the top. Itā€™s a pure fallacy that the mid-range game is dead in the NBA.

And itā€™s even more prevalent in the playoffs.
They. Donā€™t. Watch.
 
Mark Jones is in mid season form, now that abc will be televising games nationally the rest of the season.

He was holding him back like a monthly rent payment.

Legler is a little long-winded for the booth, but I like him so far. He'll get better.
