    Thumbs down Is it me

    Or is this the worst season of bball in recent history?

    Seems like everyone is too cool to play defense. Lazy on offense just chuck 3s go ISO. Some dudes don't even give a ****; 3v1 on the break-->pull up for trey because why not you get paid 30 mill who's gonna bench you?

    It looks like pick up game half the time. You'd think with a shortened season players' intensity would be higher. Execution would be on point.

    Guess not.

    Certainly not the same as the usual but better than nothing. This and last year should be taken with a lot of context.

    Been that way for a while now. There are few games where players go all out in the RS, and they're usually the last few months. To pickup seeding etc.

    Playoff ball is the only time I watch consistently.

    Nope, basketball has been significantly better and more popular since Kobe and Jordan retired

    games are full of long-range chucking which I dont mind because it allows for comebacks and big momentum swings.



    must be very annoying for older players watching their records broken because of the chucking and high pace/ high-scoring games.

    ^^^^ And there you have it

    Silver's incompetence and weak understanding of hoops has resulted in him completely dumbing down the game into a spaced-out, beginner format... aka pick-up game style

    @the geek that said Bill Russell.

    Top 3 Insomnia home remedies

    1. Heroin
    2. Exercise
    3. Televised 90's NBA

    Nothing better to doze off than watching 6 of 10 players on the court refusing to shoot wide open outside 15 feet while walking up and down the court in 70 point games

    Blame it all on stephen curry, since it was his fault for doing nothing aside from sinking a lot of threes. The rest of the league only had to follow his footsteps.

    I used to watch most games on ESPN & TNT including the Celtics.

    Now I usually just have the Celtics on as background noise while doing other things.
