Suggestion: NBA "X's and O's" Forum? 

Post#1 » by whitehops » Thu Nov 12, 2015 7:56 pm

I think having an "x's and o's" forum would be a nice complement to the statistical analysis, trades and transactions and fantasy basketball forums.

the general board is for, well, general nba topics, trades and transactions is more the business side of things and the statistical analysis and fantasy basketball forums are more for the numbers side of the game and i feel there is a missing forum where members can talk about how to defend pick and rolls, play concepts, etc. i think a venue to talk about what actually happens on the court is what RealGM is missing.


it would likely be a niche forum, but i know there have been some insightful threads/posts and it may be a forum that is appreciated not only by those who like to talk x's and o's but also those who would like to learn.


just a suggestion.

Realistically, this is the sort of content we want on the GB to supplement the array of other thread types which appear there. We have a number of NBA sub-forums which don't see as much use as we'd like, and a few which are wildly successful, but we'd rather keep great team-neutral content of that sort on the GB.



EDIT: That said, if interest was sufficiently high.... The PC Board was created that way.
