Dude you can't even touch players on the perimeter today. LeBron can't handle any physical play today without whining, what makes you think he or the Bostrich or Dwhistle could handle a physical game against arguably the most physically tough NBA team of all time?

Uh no. They were the opposite. They couldn't stay in front of their man so they resorted to mauling and grabbing. That's not defense


:rotflmao: :rotflmao: They didn't maul anyone. They played physical. If it was against the rules, they would have been whistled. Hell it's not like anyone liked them enough to swallow the whistles.

If today's Heat had to play those Bad Boy Pistons in their prime for 10 games, the Heat might score 90 once, maybe twice. Meanwhile the Pistons would never score less than 90-95. Rodman/Aguirre/Dantley would make LeBron witness his arse being owned like a $3 dollar whore at a frat party.
Also, the best defensive teams of the last 30 odd years were those Bad Boy Pistons. Guess when they were playing? Hint: Reagan was President.

I think you just pulled a pic from the 90's bro


Shh... I want this guy to keep making an arse out of himself.

And yet you swear up and down a foul was called. :rotflmao:

Give it up dude no one believes your bullshite.
quote:

nobody is even touching Jordan,


:rotflmao: :rotflmao: Because Doc River's elbow/forearm clearly isn't directly against Jordan's back or anything.

You're a joke dude.

ETA: Doc, not Rolando.
A picture is worth a thousand words, but I'll keep it short and simple: You can't play defense like this today without a foul being called, not that anyone today knows how to play with all of this soft zone shite in the league today:

TUK is right. Go watch the games from the 80's. It'll be clear how much better and how much more physical the game was then when you could actually make contact with players.

Bill Laimbeer would have 5 blocks a game today.
quote:

Because the defenses are better.


You keep saying that even though you know it's not true.

The game slowed down because of changes in the late 90's with coaches emphasizing a slower paced game, maximizing individual possessions, and more isos/dribbling.

quote:

High pace then meant teams just scored quickly because the defenses sucked


Which explains why guys like Bill Walton, Larry Bird, Jordan, etc. are considered the best defenders in the game's history, right?
LeBron is average at posting up. He has to drive and either beat his man or crawfish for a bogus call. Other than that, he relies on open jumpshots. That's great for him now because of his athleticism, but when he hits his 30s and there are guys still in their primes, he's going to catch hell.

Jordan and Kobe were able to reinvent themselves. LeBron won't be able to.

How is this confusing to you?

Higher pace = more possessions = more shot opportunities = more makes = more points.

The pace was much faster in the 80's and much more physical. Games now slow to a crawl for half of the possessions.
quote:

Sorry, but you are just wrong.


No I'm not. No expert or really anyone who knows dick about basketball would agree with you.

quote:

it's clear the defense is much better today than in the past.


Not even close dude.

quote:

Here is a fun fact for you... the 1985/86 Boston Celtics averaged 114 points per game, and they were #8 out of 23 teams.

They gave up 105 points per game and were ranked #3 in that stat.

Sounds like the defenses was outstanding...



Do you know why? Hint: rhymes with mace.
quote:

To be fair here, defense now is much better than it was in the past.


No it's not. It's worse.

quote:

Also, defense in the 80's was a joke.



:rotflmao:

quote:

The game has changed a lot.


True. For the worse.
I took a 8 lb shite once. That 8 lb shite did more on it's journey through my plumbing than you have in your entire life.

FACT.
quote:

Kobe averaged 43.4 ppg the entire MONTH of January in 2006


Yes

quote:

with around 50-60% shooting


No. It was 47%.

Me > you. :cheers:

So you threw a fit online about your daughter being kidnapped and all she did was take a break from the grind?
