These 140-130 games are disgusting to watch. Every team has some scrub who is averaging 25ppg. Basketball used to be contact sport but now every possession is a foul. Make averaging 20ppg mean something again. That is all, thanks for attending my Ted talk
And this is why I like watching the Heat. They play “ugly” basketball most of the time, as they prioritise keeping the score low. It is not about players today are more talented. It is the rules that allows free flowing offense to cater to casual fans.
No, players today are certainly more talented. To suggest otherwise borders on delusional.
