Around the NBA: Weeks 24 (3/30 - 4/5) and 25 (4/6 - 4-12)

It should be common sense that today's NBA players are just bigger, stronger, more explosive than previous generations. Plus they're playing high level basketball at a younger age, HS basketball during the school year, AAU in the summer with training session on top of that, entering the league at 18-19 years old, and throughout the summer. There's only so much the body can handle and there's more mileage on these guys at 24-25 than there was 20 years ago. It's why I don't think a 65 game limit will make much of a difference.

I don't blame Silver AT ALL. Tanking has become ridiculous!

I will be very surprised if the Kings aren't fined and made an example of.

Apparently they are saying Christie was fouling so they could use their timeout before they lost it when the clock went under 3 minutes…but why foul a 90% ft shooter? Wasn’t Draymond on the court? Is getting a timeout worth giving up 2 easy points?

Christie’s just also not a very good or very smart coach. “Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. - Hanlon’s Razor.”

Good teams have stars, play through their stars, bad teams chuck up shots early, makes sense to me.

Thunder, Pacers,Grizzlies, Cavs, and Nuggets were all top 10 in pace last year and finished 1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th in offensive rating.

It’s just a fluke this year.
