Somebody flopping their way to an 80-point game against a team doing its best to lose on purpose is such a perfect defining moment for Adam Silver's NBA.
This Miami Heat vs Washington Wizards game is a disgrace to basketball. Miami Up 26 and fouling Washington as soon as ball is inbounded and missing free throws on purpose to get Bam Adebayo more shots and points is pathetic. Wizards are triple teaming Bam full court trying to prevent him from scoring 83 which he now did. He has taken over 40 free throws and over 40 shots. Total shit show @NBA
Bam just had the grossest historic game ever.
He became the first ever player to score 70 while shooting under 50% on FGs (20/43).
He attempted 43 free throws and made 36, both the most ever.
He played 42 minutes & his team intentionally fouled to prolong a 30-point blowout.
It’s disrespectful apparently when someone in the NBA gets a late basket as time expires when the game is over but it’s not disrespectful that a team can extend a game up 27 to manufacture an extra dozen possessions by fouling and creating an extra 15 points for a player 🤦♂️
If Brady starts his career in Green Bay and Rodgers starts in New England, do the Super Bowls flip? MVPs?
Brady had 17 top-10 scoring defenses (11 top-5)
Rodgers had 5 top-10 scoring defenses (2 top-5)
How much does situation shape legacy?
@triangleTs1983@AnthonyBarr It’s actually people who DO watch that CANT watch anymore. I like watching the Lakers because that’s my squad. But the general play in an NBA game is unwatchable. The point is it’s a terrible product at the moment.
And resting/tanking doesn’t help.
Playoffs are always lit… but
