Watching guys run up and down the the floor

field goal attempts dropped by about six per game (and free throw attempts dropped by about seven)
(Slower pace and less fouls)

Throw up bricks left and right

3 point % is up about 5% from the 80's.

sorry, still hate it

Aren't you curious about why you don't like it since it clearly can't be what you thought it was as I proved those claims to be false?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Not enough whites, would be my guess.

MB I still respect you amigo, but I think what you showed proved my point. They play lousy offensive basketball now. Shooting % and scoring average both down significantly. Don't know the number, but guessing assists are way down too.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

Scoring is down because the pace is slower. You said all they do these days is run up and down and throw up bricks. I showed that they run less and shoot jump shots much better than in the past. Less bricks. You said more.

Which is it do you like defense or don't you? Is Roger Goodell good for the nba

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Why is the pace slowing?

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

Blacks

 

[Midswat]

San Antonio in 6

Miami in 7


Then Miami in 5

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

Same except Memphis in 6 and Miami in 6. Lock that up

 

[Bob Sacamano]

So tell me, mb4, why did the pace of today's NBA slow down?

 

[cmd34]

Basketball has slowly faded and will soon be a distant memory like baseball.

If Jerry keeps f'ing up off-seasons I'll be down to just college football.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

Cmd you are better at closing threads early than you are at looking at trends and ratings

I'm not saying basketball isn't mega-popular. I just have lost almost all interest in it. Sitting through 500 AAU and 150 high school games has robbed me of my basketball passion.

Just lock the fucking thread then, isnt that what a mod does with threads he doesn't like?
