Random NBA Observations 2023 - 2024

This era of All Star basketball in the regular season just isnt exciting.

So far tonight, 3 teams have scored 140+ points, and 3 others have 100+ through 3 quarters. Where is ANY defense?I

If you wanna see 90/early 2000s basketball, watch the Heat vs lakers. A pathetic display of bad shooting and passing

Lakers are 24th in scoring. They got AD and Bron but it’s a fukking struggle past that.

They might need to bring in Lavine and hope for the best

You meant to quote him or me for the bottom 2 paragraphs because I didn't say that about IQ I actually agree with you about him.

I feel that OG's defensive prowess is greatly exaggerated and there's not any top players that he gives a hard time or slows down and his offensive contribution is extremely average. I'm not seeing him as this defensive culture changing swiss army knife player that analytics say he is

I was about post some advanced numbers but you said you don’t care about analytics so I wont

All I’ll say is watch how he navigates screens and contests without fouling compared to his peers. Also watch his deflections on and off ball. Mind you he’s coming off an injury

Pacers owning the Bucks something serious in the past few meet ups
Bucks chemistry just doesn't seem there ..

There comes a point where the constant 140-135 games becomes just as bad as the 88-79 games

Nobody was mad in the 80s
