NBA Season 2018-2019

The reality is, the game changes. If you can't accept the fact that the pace of today's NBA is not the same as that 2 decades ago, that's on you.

A whole new ball game: Quantifying changes in NBA basketball over the past 3 years

So in a nutshell, how has the typical NBA team evolved? A typical 80’s team was fast-paced, favored the 2-point shot, was hungry for offensive rebounds, and relied mostly on Forwards for scoring. Think Bird’s Celtics. On the other hand, teams from the 90’s and 2000’s were relatively slow-paced, and relied on Forwards and Guards for scoring. Think MJ’s Bulls, and the early Popovich Spurs. Finally, the modern NBA team loves the 3, is once again fast-paced, and is mostly reliant on Point and Shooting guards for scoring. The Warriors and Rockets of today are embodiments of this style.

I remember telling my high school coach that 3 pointers is the future back in 2007. Ayun, pinagtawanan ako.

The rules have changed. Offense favours in today's nba. Defense is not the emphasis of the game anymore.

Titira na nga lang ng libreng lay-up ipapasa pa sa labas for a 3-point shot

Mahirap na kasi ngayon sa loob dahil sa zone defense. Plus wala na ngayong body utak para makakuha ng foul.

Wala ng Value ang mga big center ngayon mas priority nila yung sanay mag tres.

Lakers: LeBron James says ‘you probably don’t want to be around when my patience runs out’ - Silver Screen and Roll

Talo na naman pala ang. Lakers mukang mainit na ulo ni Lebron haha.

And unless a new system usurps the current scheme, it will continue to dictate the NBA's landscape.

If you read the article I posted - 3 pt FG% has increased dramatically. Why go for a 2 pointer when you can sink a shot with 150% more points with good accuracy?

Kaya dapat mga teams ngayon wag na tumira ng dos puro tres lang. Parang sayang na lang possession kung dos ititira.

Dying breed na talaga yung mga centers na "pound down low" yung game. Nakakamiss lang yung physicality ng games back then at puro depensa

^ eh kasi naman the nba crafted rules to specifically discourage the dominance of low post plays by mastadons. They wanted smaller players to dominate the game so that the average nba fan can identify w/ the iversons, the currys, the kidds, the thompsons, etc.

And then david stern & co. also decided to loosen up defenses to free up athletic & exciting, lightning quick players by strictly enforcing the hand check rule. This brought the nba to new found popularity after the jordan era.

do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

Tumpak.
Just look how many who idolizes curry, irving, lillard and the likes.

But, i think 5 years from now, big men will rule again (at least hybrid bigs). Embiid, ayton, towns, drummond, jokic, porzingis, etc).

Gone are the days where big man are atrictly low post players.
