Halftime: Lakers 62, Suns 62
LA’s turnovers (13), 3PT shooting (3-14) and FT shooting (16-23) have held them back from the lead. They’ve really missed Austin Reaves’ playmaking. Luka has 17 points. LeBron has 15. DA has 14. That was Jarred Vanderbilt’s best shift of the season.
@shohegoathan@pitlessball Is the idea that it's EASIER to score against that defense....
Or shot chuck against this defense?
Please do some critical thinking...
What defesne would be more remarkable to score 50 points against?
Keep in mind contesting a jump shot in 2025 is a flagrant foul.
@homeboigroove@pitlessball Fringe All Stars should be averaging 45ppg with today's SKILLS and RULES.
You realize that contesting a jumpshot is a flagrant foul in 2020's?
ALL forms of aggressive defense have been removed. Players shoot at an unprecedented clip.
Whats up with the numbers then?
The data?
@RocketsWNow@IAmRandom30@chinafutureclub@WorldWideWob You don't see the glaring issue in the numbers you've presented?
It's a the softest it's ever been...where are you finding 77.84 FTA in a game of 3 balls?
It's laughable (and unwatchable on a serious level)
This is exactly why there is a decline in popularity outside betting.
@RocketsWNow@IAmRandom30@chinafutureclub@WorldWideWob You're defending a League that had to address a flopping issue. Nothing more professional and prideful than flopping and playing as weak as possible to nab an advantage...
Or is that simply another skill today's players are superior at?
@RocketsWNow@IAmRandom30@chinafutureclub@WorldWideWob I'm defending the necessary physicality to play the game with integrity.
If you think there's an ounce of integrity in today's game you're sadly mistaken.
Zero pride.
It's why ppl don't watch. "Skill" doesn't equal better basketball or even good ball.
NBA=AAU child's ball.
@RocketsWNow@IAmRandom30@chinafutureclub@WorldWideWob Please tell me in what fantasy world that Hakeem, Shaq, D Robinson, Ewing, Malone led teams are focusing on long distance shooting?
Is it because the paint is locked up by todays impenetrable paint defensive juggerknuats such as Gobert, Embiid, Sabonis, Draymond, KAT, David etc?
@Ramielle74@BGatesIsaPyscho 12 Americans in 36 months. Incredible.
Over the next 600 months in human history, ZERO HUMANS have walked on a celestial body.
Has computing power decreased since then?
No, in fact today's technology has 100,000 times the computing power of 1972.
All else is irrelevant.
