NBA Teams Blowing Big Leads One Reason

[jjgold]

Why are coaches not fired?

Firing up 3’s with 20 point leads ??

Milk clock a little and go to hoop and basically you cannot lose those leads second half

Coaches have zero control of the players

[PD77]

Gold, you donate your bitcoin jacket to goodwill yet? Let us know how much each SBR point is going to be worth, last time I cashed out it was around 27 betpoints to $1USD.

No one will watch a boring game like this. Milking the clock only works in football with big leads where you don't need to score and keep getting first downs.

In NBA you need to score points. Can't be running the clock down on every possession.

[jjgold]

Paver it works

Math works if you do the numbers of wild 3 point shots bs higher percentage shots

[lakerboy]

They have been brainwashed with the whole high % shot thing.

Curry destroyed the game. NEVER forget that.

[jjgold]

Laker correct

[pavyracer]

The wild 3s happen because they are trying to use all the shot clock. When you do this strategy the ball ends up at the perimeter and the wild 3 is the only option to avoid shot clock violation.

There are not many teams that have a Hakeem Olajuwon or a Shaq anymore where you can feed at the post and try a high percentage shot. Not many teams have traditional centers anymore.

The game is not the same like 90s or 00s.

The idea now is to keep running the tempo and scoring until the game is over.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Two reasons.

1. Increased reliance on the three.
2. Today's players are far less intelligent.

Both of those factors create much higher variance.

Curry destroyed the game. NEVER forget that.

How'd Curry destroy the game? It's every idiot having the mindset that they are the next Curry that destroyed the game, if anything.

Exactly the whole league copied. So everyone is an idiot.

[BuckyOne]

Lebron James contributed to the disease as well. Ballhogitis on last second shots.

Play basketball the whole game and then change tactics have one guy go one against 2 or 3 and throw up a leaping Lena at the buzzer.

[Rich Boy]

When I was younger bball totals would be 180-190, now all over 210, league is a joke now cant even watch

Not Curry's fault though.

Laker, I question your comment. Curry has had a great career. He's a UNIQUE talent.

IMHO, Curry made people re-think the math of the game. Effective Field Goal % was re-examined, in large part b/c of Curry.

He stretched the defense...such that OTHER players had more space. This goes back to a very basic idea. Basketball WITHOUT the 3 is a different game than Basketball WITH the 3.

Basketball was designed to be a Big-man's game. You work the ball to generate the best high% shot. Game was never designed to include a 3-pt shot.

That was a novelty that the ABA created. It was a way to compete w/ the other league (the NBA).

[lakerboy]

Not Curry's fault though.

I look at this way. If he didn't come to the NBA this wouldn't have happened.

[jjgold]

3 pointers the downfall of the league now

Destroys teams

[ThaTopMoron]

if you re-watch every possession in OT by toronto and sixers it's sickening

the "ball movement" isn't there... it's one guy passing it after he tries to go one on one and when they can't get open they pass it... then someone ends up having to fire away late in the shot clock

not 1 play was run by either team in OT

[lakerboy]

The main idea these days is to try and get a guy open for a three and chuck it up.

You have great points. I'm not denying the greatness of Curry. He revolutionized the game and I don't think it was in a good way.

disagree Laker. nice to have the little guy get some RUN because he can shoot the rock. Granted I do prefer the BBALL Played in Jordan and Bird's time as it was a tougher game. BTW when was the 3 pointer introduced to the NBA. will have to google that.

[Easy-Rider 66]

1979 the 3 ball introduced to the NBA. so it was there in Bird and Jordan's time.

[Easy-Rider 66]

Although in 1976 the ABA and the National Basketball Association merged, the NBA resisted adopting the three-point line, seeing it as a mere gimmick, but in 1979, the same year that then-rookies Larry Bird and Earvin Magic Johnson debuted, the league finally adopted three-point shooting.

[KVB]

Excellent example at how the public sees one thing, but there is more behind the scenes.

Can’t talk about Curry “changing the game” without talking about Lillard.

Period.

Perception vs. Facts.

A lot of perception here.

[MinnesotaFats]

Noone runs an offense anymore

It's transition & isolated scoring

3s when up against the shit clock

Honestly only a team w a Steve nash or john Stockton type PG will ever be a champion
