Physical Defense in playoffs

[tpols]

hey ISH,

im constantly seeing 90s guys come in here and say how the nba is soft pussified no contact sport anymore .. yet theres a whole lot of clips showing otherwise in this first round.


Bran recieving a bill lambier esque cheap shot (https://www.instagram.com/p/BEhmyltoCxe/) .. no call

Bran Jostling in the post (https://gfycat.com/QueasyCleverBluet) (where all 90s guys say it is a cakewalk to get position)


and then we have everyone always complaining about golden state playing too physical and getting away with everything .. while at the same time acting like theyd get punked by anyone of the more physical 90s teams, we see draymond hitting guys all over the floor,suplexin opponents, (http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/04/draymond-green-tackle-warriors-rockets) and bogut doing sketchy shit (https://vine.co/v/iF9Epz3F7al) all game long as well


and with all of the above, not one whistle.

so what gives?

Watch the Hawks and Celtics game from last night. Physical play in the playoffs is a myth

This proves nothing.

1 play ain't shit.

Bran trying to get position in the paint is nothing.

son when you'll be old enough to learn what statistics are you'll understand the lack of value of isolated samples.

It takes a whole team to play D and without a modicum of handchecking the perimeter is lost. Add in illegal screen like GSW and you can just say goodbye to defense. I'll tell you one thing, if you'd let delly/beverly/cp3 play some old school handcheck D on curry, that little boy wouldn't be more than an all star.

thats how it is every play, dumbass .. these guys body up and play hard defense, they throw cheap shots, no there isnt a nostalgic 30 for 30 on them yet playing the clips in slow mo but theyre hitting, grabbing pulling each other all game long.

harden is down to 8.7 in the playoffs from 10.2

the refs stop calling his bullshit when it matters.

9 FTs a game is still excessive considering he also shoots 9 3s a game
