Ummm.. Jokic bros???? Our response???
The NBA is copying hockey talking points from 30 years ago.
>>140308718>Try to play actual defense>*TWEEP* free throws>*TWEEP* foul trouble>*TWEEP* you lose the gameWhy the fuck would you play defense when the league gives such a huge ruleset advantage to the offense?
>watching the nba
>defense Out of touch boomer lmao
because Gilbert was such a lockdown defender in his day…lmao
>>140308718This negro Gilbert Arenas asking for a buck breaking.
>>140308994lmaao true actually that's hilarious. >oh no all these twinky little russians that just skate fast and score a lot and don't want to pumble each other to death are gonna ruin the game
>>140308994Don Cherry/Gilbert Arenas buddy cop show where they rip on yuropoors would have been outstanding
Man he already admitted that hes says it for content and that he'd take him over both malones and tim duncan all time
Basketball isn't about tactics or defending or any actual team plays, it's about genetic freaks putting a ball into the basket with ez every 10 seconds, otherwise the audience gets bored and calls it a "low scoring game"
>>140309108That's what doesn't make much sense. The NBAis a no defense league anyway so why does he care. He wasn't very athletic either.
>>140309262Cherry was racist against Europeans was before it was cool
>>140308718Says the people who brought us "oh lawdy, I ain't playing d. I'll end up on a poster."
>>140308718>the US of AAU>defense
defense doesn't put butts into seats and eyeballs before screens.simple as.
>>140309285final 4 games used to be notoriously low scoring because the top coaches like coach k and mike brown would use it to instill discipline in a group of cocky kids going into their programs. He's saying there's a long tradition of emphasizing defense in colleges because coaches learned from the old guys like Wooden and passed it on. European coaches don't have the same nuance in their teachings.
>>140311501Uhhhhhh Mike brown never coached college
>if the Americans have such great defense why are the Euros scoring so much?
>>140308718Bruh is openly racist but it's okay because he's black
>>140311555I was thinking of Roy Williams but confused him for Larry Brown and Mike is a common name.
>>140308718It's ok to be racist towards Europeans in the USA but white Americans worship blacks and will lose their shit if you ever criticise blacks.
>>140311501NBA Coaches are glorified caretakers anyway, their main task is not making the divas angry. European basketball emphasizes completeness and is arguably a tougher place to mature precisely because there is no college system: you start in the youth teams of clubs and then have to be good enough basically right away once you have reached the age to participate in the actual main team. And the European leagues are much more about defense than the NBA anyway, the rules allow for more. Meanwhile Americans play tons of pointless games at youth level. That’s how Europeans could significantly increase their share in the NBA despite everyone and their grandma playing basketball in the US and it still being a (large) niche sport here
>>140308718Joker is literally reeducating blacks on how to play the game of basketball. He's the evolution of the sport and they're salty as fuck about it. I don't blame them for saying this shit.
>>140311759Steve kerr is a good example. Literally the only thing he had to do was keep kevin durants fragile mental from shattering. He won chips with stacked rosters and was so smug about it. Now he doesnt have an insane advantage and warrior fans want him gone. Kerr did fucking nothing for the franchise. Coaching is overrated
>>140311759European basketball is better because American basketball culture — down to the elementary school level — is completely niggerfied. Everything about it except the game itself can be thrown in the trash. Which is what Europe did.
Sounds like someone is salty that blacks are having 'their' sport taken over by white people
Right now NCAA basketball is flat out a better product to watch, but is it really that hard to accept the NBA created their own fucking mess>completely devalue the regular season by over bloating playoffs meaning only absolute trash teams don't get in >Emphasize importance of "not getting hurt" during the regular season so players are healthy during the play offs>players on any decent team now know they can just play glorified shooting contests from October to April where no one will do anything that could get themselves hurt>Play offs start and no one has actually practiced/played defense all season and suddenly they're expected to>shockingly to no one defense is shit when people are actually bothering to pay attention The NBA is exactly the product Stern and Silver designed it to be. They deserve this shit.
>>140309009thisnfl is going the same way too
>>140311501You are completely delusional, euro basketball is much more defense oriented than nba. Compare euroleague finals and ncaa finals scorelines, they are very close, and one competition is professionals vs amateur college athletes in the other. Nba has both teams going over 100 every other game
>>140308718>American nigs are so great at defense >but somehow they can't stop a fat white boy from scoring Niggas is just mad that Slavs are better than than at balling.
