NBA 2024-25 Season Thread
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
All the jobber bigs of the early 2000s who couldn’t dribble, shoot or defend out towards the perimeter no longer exist.
Teams will relentlessly optimise for whatever the rules are, and the player base will follow.
yeah but that is a steady changing of the game over a decade
a massive strategy changing rule change over night would be far more chaotic and instant
re Wemby obviously blood clot sounds scary but if he is fine seems like probably be better for Spurs to tank, get another pick
they were gonna have to come from 3.5 games back to get 10 seed then win 2 games just to face OKC rd 1 anyway
not that big of a deal all and all

Inb4 they sit Fox at least a few games for “illness”.
Would be so sick if they bink Cooper Flagg.
Spurs didn’t get the message to start the Tank as of tonight.
Lol Suns
Related to the corner 3 and how much the game has changed since early 2000s.
This was White Chocolate's 1st year in Memphis, so would've been 01-02.
A couple things that stand out:
A) Grant Long was too dumb to even spot up for the easy corner 3, he was always positioned just inside the line.
B) Grant Long ended up shooting 42.6% FG and 17.6% 3PT that year and he was a starter for 56 games!
Anyway, maybe the solution to the issue is that anyone who can beat Grant Long in a shooting contest is banned from spotting up in the corner.
