2017-2018 NBA Season

Buddy buddy system na kasi ngayon. Dati, talagang rivalry at away. Plus, the superteam concept ruined the nba. If you cant beat them, join them.

In the old days, there was no hugging after a game.

Kaya naging stats galore ngayon ang mga players sobrang luwag ng court. Pati mga Guards nag Double Double na rin with points and rebounds before assist and steals lang sila nawalang na kwenta centers and PF. Pati stats nila nakukuha na ng Guards.

Yan din hindi ko maintindihan. May yakap yakap pa. Pwede namang tango na lang or kaway-kaway after the game.

Siguro nga gusto nila yan para maiwasan ang away. Kaso for me compepetitivenes suffers nga.

Just like how durant did this last 2016. He swallowed his pride to leave okc and just joined the gsw just because he choked in that year's wcf in which he and westbrook led their team 3-1 before losing lol. 😂

Before, it was genuine rivalry. Teams such as Celtics and Lakers, Celtics and 76ers, LAL vs. SAC, hated each other's guts with a passion. I can still remember the Detriot-Chicago and the Boston-Detroit rivalry which all but spilled over into the parking lot when players got into it. (cue Larry Bird and Bill Laimbeer throwing punches)



Now, it's a business. Players have wizened up that your opponent today may be your team mate after the trade deadline. Also, if you get fined and suspended games, you lose money and possibly sponsorships.

Also, the league in general has shown its willingness to throw the book at players who commit hard fouls (who would have heard of flagrant 1 and 2 in the 90's and early 2000's?) to preserve their stars or marquee players.

Back then, I really have no idea why some of the folks I play ball with call me "Laimbeer". Maybe it was my nasty grin on the court.

Maybe it's because you can rebound and shoot the long 3?

Or, maybe it's the 80's-era shorts you wear? Haha!

or maybe it's because you can send anybody to the hospital w/o much afterthought

the rick mahorn-bill laimbeer-dennis rodman triumvirate was the most feared trio to ever set foot on a hardcourt - literally hehe

I grew up in the 80s but I can't see myself wearing John Stockton's shorts. hahahahaha

I can't shoot the ball that good but I play good defense. I will poke, grab, swipe, push, and trash-talk just to get the ball out of my opponent. I am not a firm believer of the "easy two".

Later in my working days, there are nastier ball players I have encountered on the court and I was glad they were on my team. We called them the "Bruise Brothers".
