The carrying and traveling are extremely frustrating; especially when you try coaching kids on what the rules are and the nba doesn’t even respect them. Don’t even get me started on the euro step…. Hate that crap.The Bobster wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 5:20 amThe game has just swung too much to giving the offense the advantage.
From the three-point shot, to liberalized travel and carry rules to allowing offensive players to barrell into the lane and draw contact, it's all to the offense's advantage now.

I wonder if he would’ve bought the Suns if he knew the Bucks would come for sale soon afterFlagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 7:02 am
I'm pretty sure Ishbia had some money in the Bucks franchise and was trying to gain more ownership at one time.
The barreling into your defender and drawing a foul is what gets me. What option does the defender have other than to not move and maybe draw a charge if they get lucky and pick the right position and the player doesn't just waltz around them for a dunk.Kryptonic wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 7:05 amThe carrying and traveling are extremely frustrating; especially when you try coaching kids on what the rules are and the nba doesn’t even respect them.

And it’s selective if it’s allowed. Giannis and Zion can do it, but others will get called for a charge.Superbone wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 11:59 amThe barreling into your defender and drawing a foul is what gets me.

The amazing thing about Jordan and Robinson's games is that they came in the slow-down 90's and they didn't depend on the 3-point shot.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 8:11 amDame's 71 moves Booker's 70-point game down to tied for 12th all-time. The list (Wilt 1961-63 was just nuts):
