at you posting this novel at 9 on a Saturday night, then editing it at 4am in the morning. You try waaay too hard dude.Like I said, you have no clue what you're talking about. Green doesn't need to be a go-to scorer when he's getting by Oakley and forcing the defense to rotate.
They don't ISO green to go by anyone because he's not that type of player. Even when they go real small and have him at center, they don't ISO him to go one on one. Is TT any quicker than Oakley? How many times did GS ISO Green to go by TT to force the defense to rotate? Dude has a quickness advantage damn near every night and they still consistently allow him to go one on one against his defender. He averaged almost 10 shots a game and half them shots was 3s. He gets his offense off of others. He's not someone who they go to to create.
Except the Grizz won 2 out of the first 3 games without hitting a lot of 3s then they're lock down perimeter defender who was giving the Warriors fits got re-injured and that changed the series. You can keep repeating the same shyt posting your little smileys all you want, it's not going to change that.They didn't hit enough 3's The analytics said that all year, eventually they were going to run into a better 3 point shooting team, their defense wouldn't be enough to compensate for the lack of shooting and you cannot keep trading 2 pts vs 3pts.
I haven't mentioned how well I think that Knocks team would or wouldn't do against this current Warriors team. I'm just refuting the dumb shyt that you're saying. Again, nobody on this Warriors team can consistently create off of the dribble besides Steph.There's literally nobody on that Knick roster that can create off the dribble, yet you think they'd hang
My take on the premise of your thread is that today's league and game are different in comparison to the 90s. I've said that over and over.
What do you mean "which is it"? The game used to be played inside out until the league changed some rules and how the game was called to bolster scoring, on the perimeter especially. The zone was implemented to limit interior scoring and handchecking was outlawed(along with bumping cutters, committing hard fouls on drives to the basket, ect) to make it easier for guys on the perimeter. Where are you getting lost?You don't even understand what you're talking about. You have repeatedly said the rules were changed to bolster perimeter scoring, yet here you are saying the NBA used to be inside-out. So which is it, which rule are you trying to talk about? Because the Zone was implemented to limit interior scoring, handchecking was eliminated because of the fact teams were using the zone & handchecking at the same time, those two things only existed together for 3 years from 2001-2002 to 2004-2005. The handcheck rule had nothing to do with interior scoring, the zone did and the zone was effective vs perimeter players as well, so pick which one you're talking about.
Get off of that feminine bytchy shyt. I haven't said one thing about hand checking until the post in response to you bringing it up. You don't even have a point here. So Mike Conley would be just as good in the 90s because Michael Adams averaged 27-11 one year? How about you put those numbers in context stat boy? He averaged those numbers on 39% shooting on the worst team in basketball that year. They were the definition of empty ass stats. This is the clown you ppl respect so much for his supposed sports knowledge? at these wack ass arguments that you spent hours composing.You're one of these people that think handchecking is apparently the answer to stopping great offensive perimeter players, please explain to me how Michael Adams had a 27ppg 11apg season in 1990-91, he is 5'11" 160lbs, yet the might of handchecking didn't stop him. You'll sit here and talk out your ass, saying you don't know how Mike Conley would do because of physicality , yet a 160lbs PG averaged 27/11 in the 90s.
You're stupid for thinking that Bogut would be able to guard any decent 90s center one on one. Who's even behind Bogut? This team goes up against a prime go to 90s center trying to play them one on one with Bogut and he's in foul trouble then who are they bringing in, Ezelli? That playing Green/Barnes at pf also wouldn't cut it in the 90's because they'd be food in the paint. This GS wouldn't be able to play the same way that they're playing now in the 90s and you're an idiot if you don't see that.And your last point is just as stupid as well, the Warriors have a 7'0" 260lbs center, their entire gameplan is designed to limit 3s, contain your big with single coverage, then spread and shred you on the other end.
and Jeff Green hasn't sucked/underachieved everywhere he's been...... fakkit?Based on the fact he sucked with the Knicks? Clown.
The small ball jump shooting perimeter oriented styles that a lot of these current teams play with now would hinder them in a league that isn't geared toward promoting that style. These teams would definitely have a harder time playing in a league that allowed more physicality and wasn't called as tightly on the perimeter. I'm amazed at how stupid you are. You were up to 4am editing this dumb shytYou don't understand the rule changes, and it is very dumb. These teams today would be able to play in the 90s, there's literally nothing that would stop them from excelling other than the idea that teams would apparently try to hurt them.
My name isn't "a lot of people on this forum" fakkit. The things that others are saying don't have a gotdamn thing to do with me. I've said from the start that the premise of your thread is invalid because the game/league is different now in comparison to the 90s. This GS would have to be constructed differently to compete for rings in the 90s.If those 90s teams had to be constructed differently they are no longer the teams we're talking about, which is the point. You keep glossing over the fact a lot of people on this forum seem to think you could drop almost any 90s team in the league right now and they'd win the title, but having to be "constructed differently" means that's not true.
You talk like your simple ass "90s teams just don't hit enough 3s" means anything. You're just some internet stat geek. You can't even follow along and keep up. When I said that Bron isn't Mike and Blatt isn't Phil it was in response to your "this GS team matches up well with Mike's Bulls, we saw Bron drop 40 and lose" comment. The point was that this Cavs team isn't Mike's Bulls and they still almost lost that game.It's actually not simple and I outlined how modern teams would win vs 90s squads, you have yet to say why the 90s teams could win. You want to talk about some simplistic shyt, look at your breakdown "Bron ain't mike" "Blatt ain't phill"
I don't have an agenda here. I'm not willing to make a blanket statement either way. Again, I think that the premise of your comparison is invalid. If this current GS team was in the mid 90s NBA? Nah, I don't think that they're championship contenders.
Green would be exposed and taken advantage of in the paint offensively and defensively as an undersized pf going up against guys like Oakley in the 90s. He's simply not big and strong enough hence the "undersized" label.How about telling me how a team with Charles Oakley would expose Draymond Green defensively, since we've seen Draymond hold his own against Marc Gasol I want to know how a dude that didn't have a great post game would get Dray off the floor.
Teams in the 90s weren't shooting as many 3s back then you stupid motherfukker. They played a different style of game. If it's just about spreading the floor jacking up 3s then why weren't the run&gun offensive-minded teams who shot the most 3s winning back in the 80s-90s? Why didn't the Suns beat the Bulls in '93 since they attempted and made so many more 3s? In that series the Suns made twice as many 3s as the Bulls did, yet they still lost in 6. You've got to go deeper bruh. The 3 point shot is not the end all be all. Yea GS hit a lot of 3s but it's their defense that makes them a really good team.The Cavs hit 9 threes to the Warriors 10, the Bulls and those other 90s squads would be lucky to hit 9 threes in a 3 game stretch. I've already outlined how the teams today would beat 90s squads, you have yet to say how the opposite could happen
Btw, switch up your smiley game. using the same one over and over just looks corny.
