Probably both. The comments about Nurse that I found hilarious were the complaints about his free-for-all offence. Us Raptor fans know all about that.

Yeah that on offense and comments like "where is the Nurse defense that he always had against us when he was Raps coach"

If 3 point shooting continues its upward trend and the NBA becomes just a 3 point shooting league, what chance that the NBA would consider eliminating the 3 point shot?

This new all star format seems pretty cool. The prize money will make them compete too.

Doc Rivers and the Bucks not looking so bad now compared to earlier

Giannis telling the world he still that guy.

I’m starting to think they might actually move the 3-pt line back and eliminate corner 3’s. This isn’t nearly as enjoyable to watch

I honestly really hope they do this. The NBA is becoming less and less watchable. I think extending the 3 point line to eliminate corner 3s, and moving the line in general a bit further back is a good solution.

Rather than just change the line across the league, I think it would be more interesting to allow teams to set a few rules for their home court that play to strengthens of how their team is built. Let teams decide whether they want to eliminate threes, move the line back, increase the 3 second call to 4, allow players to touch the ballon the rim or maybe shorten the shot clock for example. This will encourage more styles of play across the league and more discussion of the strategies that go into the game. Home court will also mean something again.

So all those reports of Doc&Bucks demise have been greatly exagerrated? :lol:

It felt as if many fans have been just too happy watching Doc "struggle" for some unknown reason.

Whenever you have Giannis, it is always going to work out: Last night, The Freak personally made sure of that.
Though, I anticipate some more injuries soon if he keeps this bruiser-style-of-play, like one of those running backs

Giannis has been so good, for so long, that he has become underrated a bit IMO. He's been top 4 in MVP voting for 6 straight years. There is no chance in hell Indy gets by Milwaukee last year if Giannis had played (even some Indy fans, the few on this site, agree with that).

Curious what MLSE IS NOW charging for those?

Toronto, in general, is so massively overpriced, for quality offered... Canada, for that matter .. but esp. TORONTO.

That is probably easy. Just add a 0 after the $2 :lol:

So probably around $100 total

I'd rather sit at home and watch on my large oled rather than travel into the city and spend that type of money lol. We'll see if that changes once this team is competitive again, but i doubt it. The atmosphere also hasn't been as great as it was in the past, so it felt like i was watching golf games at times.

What makes you think that? Did I miss something that was said by Silver or something?

I do hope something happens. I like the 3 point shot, but not in its current form

FVV having another impeccable season scoring 15 PPG on 37/30 splits. Man I'm glad we got rid of our dead weight. Still as always missing OG, though.
