The season is flying by and we have an okay sample size to make some predictions, statements, concerns or what not. As a fan, I’ve enjoyed watching as many games as I can. There are about 12-14 teams that are worth watching. The league is deep, what are your thought on the season so far?
That I can’t believe I fell in love with basketball when scores were 85-78 and plodding centres like Greg Ostertag or Olden Polynice got 30+ mins a game.
Some teams are just lightning fast, and yeah, at the cost of poor defense can look inefficient or showboaty. But the level of skill that is maintained AT the speed they travel makes me wonder how you even guard any of that in the first place.
It’s kind of like watching all these relievers in baseball come in and throw 102 mph with a 90 degree dip. How are there so many people that can do this and how does anyone hit that?
“NBA is exploding with talent” is an obvious statement, but to me it’s the style of the game now I appreciate the most because it maximizes that talent.
