Knicks were tanking. Dunno why all these insecure branstans are being so insecure. Stay on topic.

Weak era indeed OP :cheers:

NBA is now exiting the weakest era since the 60's. It's incredible obvious.

Even the retards that posted their idiocy on here know it.

[Magic 32]

Played in the east. Simple answer.

Good players become great players and great players become all-time great players in the east.

[jzek]

His back injury pretty much destroyed his career. :cry:

The Eastern Conference is barely better than the NBDL.

Compared to the last 2 generations (80s/90s and 90's/00s)....yep.

[Showtime80']

This is what you've been seeing and probably will see for A VERY LOOONG TIME! The league sold its soul to the "athleticism" over everything criteria after the Jordan period and this is the end result, a bunch of fundamentally flawed players. Centers who have no basic grasp of the fundamental aspects of back to the basket inside offensive game, PG's who are thinking score first over everything else and 2's/3's with no in between game just looking for the long 3's! It's making offenses look very predictable and stale.

The two most important positions on the floor are Center and PG and you have a league full of big guys who want to be SF/SG and points who want to you shoot 30 times you have problems! The league made it WORSE by changing the rules to favor perimeter players even more, the C position has been dying since the mid 90's but the NBA took it out back and blew it to pieces with the new rules

Why would some gen Z kid that never existed during prime ball admit that his era is weak? Shit, half these kids don't realize that their own generation is weak. Do some research on generation Z and listen to what everyone is saying about that generation relative to other superior generations.

Actually they didn't unfortunately.

for centers

Deandre wouldn't even be in the league in the 90s

Weak era indeed OP :cheers:

What are you talking about ? The OP is talking about an era, which obviously involves every player and team. If this era is weak, what does that make the Knicks ?

Saying teams like the Knicks, Timberwolves, Kings, etc... are relevant on discussing who has been weak this year and in this era.

Spot on. I agree with pretty much all of this...

Today's player benefits from weakside floor-spreaders that take defenders away from the strongside.

In the picture above, Joakim Noah has to leave Mosgov and flood to the strongside, otherwise the strongside won't even have 3 defenders on it.. But this is just a simple example - using weakside spacing to take defenders away from the strongside is beginning-level strategy used by every team in today's game.

Otoh, teams barely took any 3-pointers at all in previous eras, and therefore didn't have weakside floor-spacing, so offensive players frequently faced all 5 defenders (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11128077&postcount=21) on the strongside of the court, and therefore a tougher defensive environment.. Today's players never face a strongside with all 5 defenders on it, because teams ENSURE this doesn't happen with weakside floor-spacing.
