dont care Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 How many teams are going to hire doc rivers as this basketball savior not realizing he’s actually a bad coach who only won one championship because of the big three, not him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These three post-ring coaching gigs he's got have always been with front offices that I would, charitably, say have championship ambitions but a lack of smart and rational thinking. Also, messy bitches who love drama are always drawn to each other. I'm still in disbelief at this business about under-the-table working for/maybe undermining the previous coach while also analyzing that team on TV. I do think he was a good coach for that Celtics team, but that Celtics team was also the end of an era of the NBA, and the rest of us have moved past that template/system.

He was the front office for a lot of those Clippers years. He was even worse as a GM than he is as a coach, and that's saying something. 2 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepis21 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Sounds like an excellent idea although I wonder if they draw a FIBA 3pt line for Sabrina or both will use NBA one. Also if they want that to be fair both of them should use 3x3 Ball instead of regular size 6 and 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The college slam dunk and three point championships have had this for years, and it’s a huge hit.

Germanshepherd Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Probably the best offensive year of basketball we’ve ever seen. Wonder if they’ll try to nerf it with some new rules/emphasis, or if 70 points becomes the new 50.

who do you think Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 23 hours ago, Germanshepherd said: Wonder if they’ll try to nerf it with some new rules/emphasis, or if 70 points becomes the new 50. I doubt it, all the sports leagues consulted with themselves and decided a long time ago that more scoring is always desirable. A few years ago I just started adding (or subtracting) 10 to whatever metric I used to use to judge NBA games and/or players. A 20 point deficit in 2004 meant you were getting blown out, now coming back from that is barely even notable; 30 is the new blowout number. Paul Pierce would definitely have had a couple of 30 ppg seasons if his career was unfolding right now, while Donovan Mitchell or Devin Booker would be hovering right around 20 ppg flat if they played during Pierce's prime. And so on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 If the NBA Playoffs started today, the Lakers would be in the Play-In Tournament like they were last year, and the Warriors would not be in it. I don't know if this is the start of a Patriots like downfall for the Warriors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this is the start of a Patriots like downfall for the Warriors. I think it is. Warriors look BAD. Draymond can't stay out of trouble. Both Dubs and Lakers are mid while life is good for the Kings and Clippers who have historically played second fiddle in Northern California and SoCal respectively Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the ESPN article that just came out looks like respective lines and basketballs will be used. Quote The Warriors' Curry will shoot from the NBA 3-point line with NBA basketballs while the Liberty's Ionescu will shoot from the WNBA 3-point line with WNBA basketballs. 1 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

Digby Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Whatever happened to that event where they'd make 3-person teams with an NBA player, a WNBA player and an old head? Bring that back, give me something to actually root for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
