True, though that was a rare team built essentially around getting everyone 3s, so motion and screens were very necessary. Some of that was cut when Durant joined. But most teams aren't built that way. Almost like Duke teams of past.

See my post to shoney. It could be done all the same to get mid range shots, which almost everyone in the league can hit now.

Worst preacher ever

It’s embarrassing.

 

[InVOLuntary]

It is time for me to start my second novel...the first words are the hardest.

Wait! Can I please finish the first one first?

 

[Smokeytom]

Nothing towards you, of course, but man am I sick of Franks. It's like that's the only thing that gets used now to make something "buffalo".

That’s because it’s the original! I still use franks, but more as a foundation. I’ll put it on the stove, add butter, then maybe siracha, or some Cully’s Fire Water, or Da Bomb or anything I want. Sometimes I go just straight Fire Water or other sauces, but I still love the traditions buffalo taste, just kicked up many many Notches on the heat. I like that capsaicin sweat and high!

These kids like hank talking about how defense is good now but it's just harder.

Hank and 99% of the nba be like

Ok. I also slammed my hand in my car door. It was better than the NBA too.

Racist.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

And yet you’ve found a way to spell out “freaking“ 30 times in one rambling, incoherent rant.

We gonna ignore the superfluous apostrophes?

Sorry players can actually shoot now......

Yeah those were extra fluous

 

[Smokeytom]

They've always been able to shoot lol they've just added an extra shooter (talking about how most PF are now more of a second SF). It's still not fun basketball. Hardly any movement. Iso ball or pick and rolls make up like 95% of the league. It's a bore until the intensity ratchets up in the playoffs.

Good lawd, the 1st one?
I can picture it now. Invol gathers kindling, gets the fire to the right temp, pours drink of choice, fluffs cushion, sits, turns on reading lamp, opens book, reads one sentence...closes book.
Opens VN on phone.

Needed Javontez in the middle to break this one up:

I think that one on the front row was Jovontez.

Easy to shoot when nobody closes out and you get 5 steps on a step back.

They could, but is there a per-shot advantage in doing so? I have no idea and am not privy to basketball analytics, but have usually understood driving (layup/dunk/getting fouled/kick out) and 3 pointers (1.5x value that of a jump shot ofc) to be the most valuable plays. This range-merging would also not seem to stress defenses as much as a strategy of "polarizing ranges".

Hank says everyone can shoot now so why don't they run those offenses?

Are you using an old iPhone he sent you?

The league is just way more athletic now too. It doesn't hurt that the pool of players has increased bigly, as well. Far more international players.

 

[Devo182]

Better to hit 3s than 2s, given the dropoff in % isn't enough to offset the point differential. 3s also create better offensive rebound opportunities and spreads the defense. I just don't see any advantage to shooting long 2s.

I miss any coach hires today?

Well, we could proceed to get into how I hate the defensive rules and how the emphasis on the 3pt shot is a product of certain rule changes, but...

iPhones are for communist.
