It’s hard for casual fans to see the different plays and sets that they run

Compared to a game like football where it’s obvious. Almost everytime a team gets into their halfcourt offense, they are running a play or set. Sure there is some isolation in the game, but the game is a lot more complicated if you really want to delve into it

Tough poll... I’ve gone from NBA my #1 sport in high school by far to

Some interesting points, but you must be very removed from the NBA.

If I could I would bet $1,000 + he is gone in 5 years or less. No doubt about it

Pretorian

That’s not even possible unless the Jazz just decides to cut him for no reason.

There is less isolation offense now than there has been since the magic/bird era

Josef K

4/15/18 7:47am

I disagree... Do you classify the triangle as isolation?

Pretorian

4/15/18 7:45pm

You must have stopped watching in 2006.

That's about that last time I enjoyed it... but I still watched games now and

You haven’t seen the Jazz, Spurs, or Warriors play...others as well.

I only watch jazz games... you could be right on spurs...

Almost everything you complain about is incorrect in here. Offenses and defenses

#1 - lack of a hard cap, 2- officiating inconsistency, and 3- superstar

unctoothman

TNT can agree with these points

TNT

4/15/18 7:46am

If the NBA instituted a hard cap and no individual max salaries

Systematic favoritism for stars with foul calls or lack thereof.

ALUF 1990

4/15/18 7:30am

The refs' deliberate misinterpretation of the rules to protect stars

CopperLix

4/15/18 7:36am

All of the Above

Other—the non existence of a Sonics franchise

4/15/18 7:48am

Wow, I didn't even notice that the Sonics were gone.

BlueFever

Yep. They moved to New Orleans and are now called El Pelicanes or something

End of game free throw contests

Hedonic Threadmill

4/15/18 7:52am

I would add the constant trips to the free throw line through out the game

RC Vikings

4/15/18 7:56am

This!

RUNBYU1

4/15/18 8:26pm

Other: offensive players initiating the contact and rewarded with a foul

Sandy Lyle

4/15/18 7:54am

And who is to blame for it all: DAVID FREAKING STERN

TNT

4/15/18 7:54am

He’s the worst.

kcca

4/15/18 8:12am

Amen. This non-donor will be promoted in the CB New Order

TNT

4/15/18 8:14am

Couple hard cap advocates. I love the soft cap. You develop guys, they

smokymountainrain

4/15/18 7:55am

Nba has the best cap system

Josef K

4/15/18 8:23am

Like how the Warriors developed Durant, Thunder dev George/Melo, Cavs dev Love

Medute

4/15/18 8:24am

Warriors have four stars- drafted and developed three of them. If they figure

I disagree that it's a good thing that a team that went to 2 straight finals can

Medute

4/15/18 8:31am

It was really a freak occurrence where the stars aligned perfectly

4/15/18 8:58am

Yep, exactly right. And the Warriors were left with the choice of giving

messi

4/15/18 11:20am

With Derozan and Lowry the Raptors shouldn't have to cut loose one or both of

smokymountainrain

4/15/18 8:32am

The Thunder had Durant for nine years. I don’t get why a franchise should think

Josef K

4/15/18 2:50pm

Agree 100%, but when teams with 3 stars can sign another star...

Medute

4/15/18 2:54pm

You can’t go over more than a couple of years in a row before the tax gets to

Josef K

4/15/18 4:07pm

I’m guessing you aren’t a fan of baseball either then

4/15/18 4:16pm

I’m not fan of GS, but why does everyone forget that the Durant thing happened

4/15/18 7:20pm

Also some have mentioned favortism for stars. There is no evidence

smokymountainrain

4/15/18 7:59am

Do you know anyone that has reffed bball in HS or college??? If yes, talk to

ALUF 1990

4/15/18 8:37am

Lol. Still no evidence. But keep chirping.

smokymountainrain

4/15/18 9:47am

You must have never watched James Harden play

mobius

4/15/18 9:18am

He's a case all unto himself in terms of the way he plays. Harden treatment

smokymountainrain

Offense player creating contact= defensive foul

Tygger

Sandy Lyle

4/15/18 9:50am

A few annoying superstars.

smokymountainrain

4/15/18 8:04am

Every league has those

No doubt.

Advancing the ball across the court on a timeot

Josef K

4/15/18 8:25am

Too many injuries. I don’t know how to stop it, but it kills the playoffs every

Memmo

4/15/18 8:28am

Shorter 3 pt line in the corners.

Other. Superstar officiating. Should be the same calls for everyone.

Offensive player initiating contact is a foul on defense even if the defender is

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the rookie “redshirt”

Playing to the officials and superstars shooting 15-20 FTs a game.

No Lakers in the playoffs

Faceman

4/15/18 10:17am

Also David Stern’s fault

No Lakers in the playoffs is half the reason I'm enjoying the NBA now
