[QUOTE=Deuce Bigalow]Not this garbage again about how it's easier to score now
84-97 = 49.1%eFG
2005-present = 49.4%eFG[/QUOTE]
What does this tell us about the # of FT's handed out to perimeter players? What does it tell us about the incidence of high scoring games from perimeter players in each era? Absolutely nothing.

It's also a team stat as well.
He keeps posting it, ignoring the topic at hand.
Jordan Rules fake?
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Daly described the Jordan Rules as:

This is exactly what I've been saying for decades; the NBA stopped running and started jogging.... slower and slower.... until today it's almost a crawl.
The most exciting teams in history have been the fast break teams - the 60s Celtics, the early 70s Lakers, the Showtime Lakers & 80s Celtics, recently the Suns.............
Half court ball is great - it's the NBA!! - but it's a mighty poor excuse for what these guys SHOULD be doing.
Non-stop sprinting used to be one of the main components of basketball. The old Spectrum used to just echo with the sound of two teams racing down the court. Sometimes it sounded like a herd of stampeding buffalo. You don't see more than 4 or 5 minutes of transition in an entire game today.
This is a brilliant analysis.

That's okay, it's probably too advanced anyhow.
1990s and first half of 2000s;
Defensive bigs?
Ewing, Robinson, Rodman, Mourning, Olajuwon, Mutombo, Wallace, Shaq (coz of his size mainly), Duncan, Garnett
Defensive perimeter players?
Jordan, Pippen, Payton, Kidd, Artest, Stockton, Young Bryant, Dumars
Can current players compete with this group?..
We don't need that much text. Defensive era for real because there was so many great defenders. Done.
Who is SJ?
More walls of text with no clear connection to defensive ratings
:applause:
[QUOTE=Yao Ming's Foot]Do you think that if you just post enough wall of texts that have nothing to do with defensive rating that you may stumble on a point eventually?
The fact that the pace decreased is irrelevant in terms of defensive rating. Defensive rating is a per possession stat.
Kobe's defense or lack thereof has nothing to do with the merits of citing team defensive ratings.

Its called reading comprehension, if I miss more shots, because I'm taking less efficient shots(more 3's), it tends to equal more defensive stops. If the floor is spread and offensive rebounding is down, I'm not gaining more possessions, that too tends to lead to more defensive stops....if you can't understand how this can effect Defensive Ratings, then please quit posting on this subject
[QUOTE=Living Being]Who is SJ?[/QUOTE]
Stu Jackson, him along with Rod Thorn implemented the rule changes, but hey what does he know.....Yao Ming the keyboard hero is saying its much more difficult

3s are worth more points than 2s... . A made 2 pt shot 50% is the same as made 3 pt shot 33% of the time on a point per possession basis.
Offensive rebounding is down because teams are actually running back on defense instead of an endless stream of fast breaks
:facepalm
Ever think teams stopped running because transition defense improved?
Run-N-gun offense doesn't work when teams consistently get back to content shots, and rebound the ball.
The answer is simple. Short white guys.
