Are NBA changes necessary?

The Karl pict was 2 birds with one stone. Make kg look dumb and get spud heading to the gym.

This exactly. Dumping into the post, especially over and over again, is inefficient unless the guy has about a 70% chance of scoring. And even then you better be really great at defending the 3. While I liked to watch Moses and Malone work in the post, the games now are much more exciting.

I just think it's amazing you were able to watch Moses and Malone. Did you ever watch Kevin and Willis?

(Pending his answer, somebody get a psychiatrist on the line.)

that deserves a 'Got eeeeeem'

While I've always appreciated a big man's ability to work in the post, I don't think there's a need for any NBA changes. I think the NBA is in a better place now than ever before. The 3-ball, motion offenses and fast perimeter pace is fun and exciting to watch. Much more exciting than watching a team feed a big man over and over and having him back down a defender for however many seconds per possession. It gets the casual fan to watch, and it's good for the brand.

Honestly the post game in the NBA was ruined anyway when they let Shaq and Dwight just push guys down and dunk the ball. I don't miss that at all.

Erroneous!!!

I defy you to tell me this isn't the most exciting play in NBA history:

Spoiler:

I mean, who wouldn't want to watch this all game, every game--

Wow...Mac came in firing...I did go to the gym today...I puked 6 times no joke...


About the big men...I was thinking Willis with a nice jump hook in the lane or sir Charles acting like a big fat bully ...

I dunno it's so systematic...dang you analytical peeps..

Well that Gatorade isn't gonna drink itself..

Haha Karl was pumpin in something...I mean I read his workout routine in the 90's and it was pretty rigorous but I dunno...I wouldn't point at him first though cuz he did love working on his body a lot.

He might have gotten a semi pass on Kobe's wife Vanessa though..:-X

Remember when he had a daughter playing wcbb years ago? That was the baby all grown up. I have no idea why it never became a bigger story.

Ok I'm going to suggest a rule change and then run like the wind while all of you start hurling rocks at me.

What if, now hear me out, what if we changed the 3 seconds in the key rule and made it 4 seconds?


Screeeeeeeechhhhhhhhhhh ( indicating car getting the heck outta Dodge)...

He’s country as hell and played the majority of his career in Utah, neither of those groups necessarily frown upon that.

What, you were waiting on us Nor’Easters to create faux outrage for you just so you sothrons can go all “we don need ‘em Yankee devils tellin’ us how to live!”?

If you asked Al he’d tell you he always thought the rule was 5 seconds

Whoa, whoa ... I don't know 'bout them Utahers but we for dang sure frown on "that" down here. Stop looking through them carpet-baggin' lenses tryna condescend about us southerners.

What's next? You gonna tell me how we're dumb a-cause a few inches o' snow shuts the city down? Well I'll ax you, how come every time the temp rises above 70 degrees up there ya'll get folks dying of heat stroke when all they had to do was get a glass o' water?

Heh, I know kg is sweating because he feels honor bound to defend the south from Northern invaders but at the same time knows there's more than one reason he avoids the next town over.
