    Very OT

    These guys blow simple passes all the time. Just throw the ball out of bounds. You are talking about stars. Those skills are deficient top to bottom in the league now. Not jv level, just declined. I agree with Kerr to an extent ( though many other ex players don’t), but don’t fully agree. A lot...

    Very OT

    The only conspiracy theory that made any sense outside of individual point shaving is the magnet ball theory. That COULD work. I doubt it’s real but anything is possible with 9 and 10 figure revenues on the line.

    Very OT

    Kyrie is too weak on defense and can’t pass well enough to carry a team to a title. As much as he hated playing Robin, he needed Lebron.

    Very OT

    Co An all star game? Smh. Core fundamentals are at an all time low. The athletic style of play makes up for it. Big men are better on the perimeter but SUCK with their back to the basket. There are fancier dribblers but not necessarily better. Fundamental team passing is worse. The fact...

    Very OT

    Steph is most def a unicorn. He would be a top 5-10 player in any era. But this era is tailor made just for him. They are more forgiving of travels and moving screens now. I was SHOCKED when they called it on Cousins last night. It is easier for guards to get to the basket and THAT is what...

    Very OT

    Disagree. Mid range shooting is way less effective now. You see it the most when teams only need one or two. They don’t have the skill of getting space and good form and balance. They can’t sink the off balance shots anywhere near as often They miss wide open a lot more too. The increased...

    Very OT

    I want to agree. But there is too much room for the Raptors supporting cast to collapse. All bets are off as far as I’m concerned. Either team winning is a coin flip to me. Even with Durant’s injury, Toronto can lay down and die with ease.

    Very OT

    Nobody said they were shooting like that. They could have easily developed it if the style of play permitted it. Guys are hitting more 25 foot 3s than ever because they won’t get benched for doing so. I have watched the development of 3 point shooting all of my life. Guys are practicing it...

    But it made getting space to get of the shot harder.

    Very OT

    If coaches would have accepted it, guys would have developed it. Now a days, everyone can shoot the three. However mid range shooting has fallen off of a cliff. So has finesse shooting in the post. The coaches allowed the style of play to change and the players adapted. Bigs today have almost...

    Very OT

    Guys would have been shooting like that years ago if coaches let them. With practice, it isn’t unfathomable. All they need is eyes on the rim. If the defense doesn’t alter their form, those shots are money. More and more guys are getting it like that but having the green light from Kerr...

    You know you wrong lmfao

    Very OT

    Who was the joke about where they said a star player would be tired and look to the bench and coach acted like he didn’t see him? Nurse should have pulled that one out the bag. lol

    Very OT

    Reggie Miller called it as soon as he saw it. Identical to what happened to Kobe. He has a lot less wear and tear than Kobe so hopefully he recovers better.

    Lol. The Toronto came out of Toronto like always. Had me fooled thinking they was gonna put GS to bed and take the title. I shoulda knowed....
