Was at my parents house yesterday and caught about 10 min of a game. Seen 47 flops. Only good part was the dude who landed on his face and needed stitched up lolz. Comical what trash the nba has turned into.

Basketball and Football stopped playing defense years ago. The NFL believes Arena Football shootouts are appealing to the fans and the advertisers. The same goes for Basketball, I'm waiting tor 4 and 5 point shooting lines. The NFL believes it's cutting down on violence but in reality it's keeping fans watching to the bitter end and keeping the the cash rolling in. Reality check, the NBA Bubble is showing a staged product, isn't that what we've been watching all along.

Ppl stuck in their past. Nostalgic as hell - thinking nba was better when no one could shoot - or play defense. Lol @ thinking that whacking someone when anyone drove to the paint was defense.
NBA has never been better.
Love it. And bubble nba has been the GOAT.
And have never understood why one would keep watching something they don't like.

The bubble NBA has been some of the best basketball I've seen. The product on the floor is great. Inspired play. The hand check rule has made a big difference, but the athletes have evolved as the game had turned more global. 6'10 guys could rarely shoot over 20 percent from beyond the arc in socold's day. The guys are more talented now

You guys look for that stuff to complain about. The Detroit pistons with guys like bill lambier would get whooped nowadays. Bill wouldn't even be in the nba probably
I agree with you that regular season nba was going downhill fast, especially with the load management epidemic. It was sad to see... but the bubble has been high level basketball. Not sure what else you could ask for if you really like basketball. May just not be your cup of tea

I don't watch the nba. Haven't watched a full game since like '06. Just thought the flopping/crying was funny. Bill Lambier would injure every player out there!

"Donovan Mitchell joins Allen Iverson, Michael Jordan, and Wilt Chamberlain as the only players to score 50+ pts twice in a single playoff series."
