But where are all the follow-ups in the media in which people owned up over how wrong they were? It’s as if people only want to speak about the NBA when they have something negative to say.

What an interesting response. No, my point is that the NBA did nothing to adjust to all the scoring. It certainly didn’t have the refs officiate the game in any different manner to appease the chorus of detractors. After all Silver and Co are smart enough to know that offense is not a bad thing. Instead the defenses of teams settled down and finally caught up to all that early uptick in points and teams like the Pacers who were setting records early on could not keep up their pace. The change was organic. Yet the media which spent so much energy faulting the NBA for high scores never changed that narrative even when the numbers went more back to normal.
