    Default Re: True or False: when handchecking was made illegal, scoring went down

    No matter what you wanna say, the NBA is soft now. The way people drive without being touched is sad.

    That and illegal d change made it so that you can always break your man down 1v1 and then you get to do what you will entering the paint (pull up, pass, drive.)

    I think those sort of plays are exciting, but when it's the only thing that happens it becomes predictable.

    Agree.

    I've been hit harder by my mom when I didn't listen at 9 years old (no Adrian Peterson.)

    They're making the game much easier. When they should be making it harder to score.

    Yet ppg is 10% lower than the 80s, good substance to your argument

    That was the time of ugly iso-ball that was killing attendance and losing the NBA money. Something had to change, so it was handchecking.
