Braze

The shooting range that guys like Trae have is crazy. The NBA 3 is far, man. I was recently shooting at a court with an NBA 3 point line and I was struggling for that range. And people like Steph, Trae, Dame can easily knock them in from 5 feet (or more) beyond the regular line

Kawhi changed the game.

I hate the new age ****** defense as well. Why do teams have 90 in the 3rd? I sound washed

More so evolving offensive skill as well as strategy

Good offense is more likely to beat good defense. It's the nature of the game

Defenses in the 90's never had to guard the amount of space players do today

I can agree with that but I still believe there’s just a lack of importance of defensive skills that’s involved as well

Biggest reason why saying player x played 80 games a season in 1997 so player y should be able to do it in 2020 is dumb logic. Basketball today is irrefutably harder to play.

Mikal Bridges has been disappointing thus far in his short career. Basically been a 3 and D guy that can't shoot.

The 2 players picked right after him, SGA and Miles Bridges, are/have been significantly better.

I thought he was pretty good last season. Can't explain the slow start the season.

I get where you're coming from and really guys like Roberson, Tony Allen etc. are being phased out

But things tend to be cyclical i.e. bigs coming back this year. There will always be counters to the norm but overall we're evolving

See: Isaac, Thybulle, OG etc. you're still going to get these defensive beasts you just won't see one side of the court players too often

[Vincent Van Goat]

I seen he was 0-5 and was thinking it was just another poor game for him

Coby. White.

Booker is stupid.

He gets a offensive foul called on him then a few plays later comes down and flops and tries to draw a offensive foul on Danny Green.

Knicks next game is against the Mavericks at MSG. Fizdale's last stand

 

[tay1]

I don’t know why I thought Ricky Rubio was like 36

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Tonight encapsulates why the Nets are a top rated offensive team and a bottom 5 defensive team. 90+ points through 3 up by like 15

Jeff Green and Mudiay instantly tie the game early in the 4th

 

[lawdog1]

Rubio might have the least arc on his shot of anyone in the league...like barely gets over the rim even when it goes on...
