2015 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Hurricane Season]

Haven't had many chances to see Golden State this year, but my god they are good. They make it look so easy. Do they play San Antonio any time soon?

Saw this stat this morning and could not believe that could even be possible!  How hard is it to work on free throws during off days? Probably doesn't care

or some people just cant get better at them. look at shaq. he tried and tried and he could never get better at them

 

[Pugz]

sure, he could and should be better, but the intentional fouling rules need to change. it changes the whole pace of the game. thats the biggest issue.

no question.  I thought they were going to change the rules on the intentional fouling after the playoffs last year?

If you don't want them to intentionally foul you, either sub out or make free throws. That's always been my stance. It's obviously not fun to watch but free throws are a part of the game.

 

[Pugz]

they need to do something specifically for fouling for that reason. let them do it three times and take a time out or something. it hurts players from both teams. kills all momentum. it hurts the game for the fans.

they were fouling drummond before we could even call a time out.

Entertainment and watchability factor absolutely plays a role in this. Not sure the NBA wants to risk losing viewers in a game over that because a coach is too stubborn to take out their horrible free throw shooter (because usually it doesn't make sense to take them out anyway). The NBA has outlawed/changed things in game before, it wouldn't be a first. I don't have a problem intentionally fouling a guy who has the ball, that's fair game, but they already don't let you intentionally foul players off ball in the last two minutes of the 2nd and 4th quarters, so just make it throughout the game.

Zaza Pachulia was 14,000 votes away from starting the all-star game

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Draymond isn't starting. Lock though.

I don't see Zaza in your avatar

 

[elcheato]

I'll photoshop him in

 

[elcheato]

Will the media make a big deal when the Cavs only get 1 all-star despite being in first place? My guess is nah 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I wouldn't be shocked if Love got in by the coaches
