RedDawg#8 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 8 hours ago, JayBirdHawk said: This was Joe Dumars prior: Report: NBA Competition Committee reviewing whether game has tilted too much to offense There’s a sense among some NBA observers the pendulum has swung too far and that defenses need some help now, too. NBA VP and head of basketball operations Joe Dumas said this to Tim Bontemps and Kevin Pelton at ESPN: ”...the league’s competition committee has officially begun reviewing whether the game has tilted too far toward offense and whether changes need to be implemented to achieve better balance.” The Competition Committee is made up primarily of coaches, players and general managers. All this echoes what Dumars recently told Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports. “The question is posed to each one of those groups: Is the balance out of whack? Do we need to balance this more to allow defenses to defend more, to do more on the defensive end of the court? And by and large, people are saying it wouldn’t be bad to have a little bit more defense... You don’t want it where the defense can just, you know, grab and hold, and you don’t want it when the offense has just this huge advantage, either.” https://www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/report-nba-competition-committee-reviewing-whether-game-has-tilted-too-much-to-offense So you telling me that it’s not just because we are better without Trae? Everyone has gotten a boost defensively post all star break? That can’t be right at all. All problems start and stop at Trae Young. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer things get back to normal but changing mid-season is some ol' bowl sh*t. Literally anyone paying attention could see things were off-kilter well before now, so they should've and could've made appropriate changes at the appropriate time. What am I to make of this final score? Not much when you consider the starting lineups.....but still, yikes. Lowry, Payne, Aubrey, Harris, Bamba and they still managed to beat the Knicks who had Brunson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowry, Payne, Aubrey, Harris, Bamba and they still managed to beat the Knicks who had Brunson Ohhhh burd, you knew I couldn't resist that bait. Well, since Brunson is the second coming of Clydr Frasier and Ali put together, that must've been the most epic 19 pts on 22 shots ever witnessed? In fairness, he was up against the most epic-est backcourt since the monstars in Lowry/Cam Payne. And I'm sure the sixers having the mvp in the lane didn't make things any easier? What's that? No JoeLLL? Oh well I'm sure the great Mooooooo Baaaambaaaaa was on it last night. Ya know, a pretty prominent squawker once picked him over Trae in that draft. But whatevs. I don't know about any o' that. I just know, if a certain SE conference team had a craptastic game/score like that, we'd hear about it. Let's see whattha eggsperts say a out the second coming.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted March 13 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted March 13 League sources tell me that the NBA Competition Committee met Tuesday to discuss ways to incorporate more defensive freedom for players when it comes to physicality, evaluating how to potentially allow more of it, its merits and more. I’m told the committee, which comprises league and union officials, owners, players and executives, will use the next few months and offseason to strategize ahead of next season. So far this year, the NBA’s 114.9 points per game is the highest average since the 1960s. The league’s average offensive rating (115.6) and team 3-pointers made per game (12.8) also are the highest marks ever. – via The Athletic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major League ManfredBall... (...no, seriously, that's the accurate term, since baseball as most of us have known it is now but a memory... ) Silver's not making the rules up as he goes. Goodell's not making up the rules, either. There is rather, an inclusive process. There is no rules monarch. That is all. As you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
