OT: ideas to improve NBA product

There is too much player movement. You used to have teams with the same main group of players for 7-10 years. They hated the teams they played, especially come playoff time. The fans felt it, too. That is missing.
There are also too many fouls called. Players are allowed to drive to the rim without getting breathed on, if there is any contact, a foul is called.

Its exactly what I said except I called it a lack of variability. There's no creativity. In the article, BJ Armstrong called the players robots. Yea. I said it's like watching NBA 2K on Xbox. They only shoot 3s or layups/dunks. It's uninteresting. College players are much worse players but you have everything. 3s, dunks, midrange, turnovers, traps, offensive rebounds, etc. Its actual real basketball. I think the NBA can get back to this if it moves the 3 point line back.
Yes, it's real. They happened to capture the first time ever in the history of basketball that someone flopped and fooled a ref. Until then it had never happened before at any level of the game.
Next thing you know, soccer players will be trying it.
I can’t believe she called that. You’d think she was reffing a chiefs game and protecting Pat Mahomes
To each their own. I hate the NBA and basketball is my favorite sport. I enjoyed the 80's 90's post up big man games. A lot more physicality too. I guess I just liked that style better. Nobody is right or wrong. I also enjoy a football game where just getting a couple first downs in a row is an accomplishment. Love defensive games.
She correction the call on review. Wemby ended up with T for flopping.
If you want the midrange jumper back- What they need to figure out is how to make the 3pt shot less efficient.
I'm sure there are some logistics involved with seating but just widening the court a few feet so you have a full arc. This should have happened years ago, imo. Then push the line back again, if needed.
That's some weird clip editing to make a false impression. Almost looked and sounded like a WWE production. Lol
The NBA and NFL regular seasons are much the same to me. You can watch the last 8 minutes of any game and ignore the rest. I watch more full NBA games because of Bub and Justin.
Yep. You can always tell when something is fake or misleading when you know a little about a subject. But with the NBA, I don’t, so I deferred to the board. It’s how you get people thinking the moon landing was faked or the holocaust didn’t exist.
They'll never do it because it would mean eliminating several rows of those lucrative premium courtside seats, but the court dimensions should increase to 100'x60', then the 3 line should be moved back to 27'. Not only would this keep the corner 3, it would also mean you could use a full arc since you'd have the same amount of space between the 3 line and the sidelines as you do now.
