Eh, the basketball was bad back then. Two guys 6’10” or taller mucking it up in the paint and 6’6” shooting guards going 7-20 mostly on tough mid range jumpers.greenblood said:

I could care less about their political stances, unlike many people. The product itself is an eyesore.
The 2002 Dallas Mavericks led the league in scoring with 103.1 ppg. This year, the lowest scoring team in the league scored 103.8 ppg. The league has become a joke.
It’s better now than it was in 2002.
It was better in '92 than 2002 or today.

They are 90% lesbian and 99% ugly as sin.PurpleThrobber said:The ONLY reason to watch women's CBB is to scout out the hotties like Skylar Diggens. And then hope they fuck up and post nude pics.
Other than that boooooring. -
Disagree. There is almost no post presence in the game anymore. Also, much less attacking the paint to finish thanks to analytics that say shoot 40 threes a game and hit 33% of them and you're probably a point ahead. Watching a game where the ball going in the basket one out of three times is better than one out of two times is ass backwards.RoadDawg55 said:

The players also have given up on playing defense. Personally, I prefer to watch a challenge for both sides and elite athletes doing very athletic things. I also don't like video game football, though, so what the hell do I know? -
I thought this was going to be a thread where we confess how we’re white devil beta bitches. Surprised I’m disappointed.

There is a post presence except that the combination of size and skill plus passing ability is too hard to find. I can think of 4 centers off the top of my head that can do it effectively but that's about it.BleachedAnusDawg said:

To your point, defense is non existent except for the top teams because of the bullshit foul calls. If you aren't altering someone's shot/slash it shouldn't be a foul. Touching someone's wrist/shoulder/whatever shouldn't be a foul.
There is seemingly 3-4 teams with enough size and skill to play at both ends with the current rules. Everyone else is undersized and has to get hot shooting. -

There is plenty of post play. Jokic, Giannis, AD, Embiid, etc. Those guys are good.haie said:

I get the criticism of analytics hurting the game, but I don’t think it’s as cut and dry as you. The 6’10” PF or stiff center no linger have use and play 35 minutes every game. The players are more skilled. -
The skill level in the game is as good as it’s ever been. Steph dame and the Kyrie type of player that can consistently hit 30 ft plus and get to the rim is impossible to guard without it being a team effort. Teams don’t game plan too much until the playoffs. I get being bored with the regular season as a fan though.
College hoops is unwatchable with the exception of a handful of teams. March tournament on the first weekend is still Great though.

I play zone defense in pickup games

I don't think analytics hurts the game, it's aesthetically pleasing to see 3-4 passes to a semi-open 3 in the corner swish. The shooting is unreal now.
I just can't stand the foul calling system to where it's a strategy to run a play where you're 40% trying to actually make the shot and 60% trying to show menial contact to get free throws. It's ruining regular season games.
