I think it should be illegal for anyone over 7'0" to take a charge.

EG's a feast or famine type. Just gotta live with it. It's getting nothing from JO, Metu, KBD that let's teams keep it close. Plus Nurk's been off balance all night, can't seem to find his rhythm.

Are we ... Are we getting kinda cooked by Stix??

Weird game. Some stretches full of great plays, some full of bone headed mistakes. Feels like we should be winning big but we can't keep our leads.

I don't know what to tell you. There's way more passing and pace in the game today than ever before and that's far more entertaining than the style I grew up watching in the 90s.

Sorry. You picked a bad game. You would have sang a different tune the previous game. Apologies you landed on this 1st half turd. I'm guessing we step it up 2nd half.
Hope so and thanks!

These comments bring a smile to the face, thanks FF and TOO.

FF in all seriousness I feel the game in the late 90s and today are mirror images of each other. One was all about big guys grunting and running into each other one on one. The other seems to be about agile guys jacking up contested 3's one on one. I have enjoyed the mix of the power and finesse games you saw in the KJ Barkley era and even in SSOL with Amare with the four corners. That power is missing today, which takes away an element of what made the game so interesting.

I can see how folks like the jacking up contested 3's though, it is like gambling.

Sometimes it seems like Booker is trying to place shots in the basket instead of shoot them, if that makes sense to anyone but me.

It's all in the wrist. He misses a lot more when he has that little "flick" follow through instead of a full extension.

EG is fucking trash. At least Landry had handles.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

KD putting it on Jalen Smith is pretty funny. That dude got way too cocky early in the game even though he was hitting shots.
