battie 9 rebounds in 16 minutes

lou williams 18 pts in 18 minutes

i love the sixers but that are an absolute disaster, hunt

turner is hideous but in the least doug collins will be entertaining during pressers

stop being such a negative Hoyda fan.

Jrue's dunk on Randolph was #1 on sportscenter.

Hey remember when you guys have been virtually unwatched for 7 years....
It's been 9 years since AI stepped over Tyrone Lue...
Hey, you also remember when Robert Horry hit gigantic threes in both games 2 and 3, ending our hopes... farg you guys too.

Nah... didn't even drink tonight.. I was going to hit up M street if the Phils won, but as soon as that strike out occurred I decided to stay in.

video of collins talking about his teaching philosophy and basically re-teaching the game to the players. Man...these kind of talks have me thinking they might not eclipse 25 wins this season

That is not just Sixer problem that is Basketball as whole. These guys are such freak athletes and they use it to dominate at lower levels, problem is when you get to the NBA most of the guys they are going up against are equal.  Just look at how many guys can't hit an open jumper and make foul shots.  That is pathetic. 

[reese125]

thats a perception because of todays youth, but believe it or not 3-pt scoring and FG%'s have never been higher.

also..you would think that free throw shooting was much better from back in the day where fundamentals were consistently taught, but thats not the case at all. free throw percentages averages have been the same for the past 50 years at the NBA level at around 75%. Coaching can be a huge factor to improve it if you drill it hard enough...but not a lot of time is spent on it still to this day.

silver lining is basketball pre-michael jordan was absolutely unwatchable

before the game opened up, people played like robots moving around chairs like in drills....i.e what college hoops is now. and the actual basketball being played at the college level is horrendous right now. maybe an all time low and that includes the pre-shot clock era.

how would you know you never saw it

im by no means some peach basket and grand ma free throw guy but the game was awesome pre jordan (and it still is)

[reese125]

classic sports network-- with the discolored fuzzy screen and over-sized letters and numbers told him so

[SD]

Pre-Jordan Magic/Bird/Doc hoops was a trillion times better than the slop we see today.

[ice grillin you]

actually todays game is better....what hurts the league now is the same thing that hurts every pro league....too many teams

contract five or six teams and todays nba is definitely superior to bird/magic times

the jordan era was actually the worst time for nba basketball ever....mike is gawd but the league was pretty painful to watch for much of the 90's
