Got it. I was going by the first 3 threads I saw. The three point line being in seems obvious, and no one's been advocating otherwise. The big one is whether illegal defense is pre-2004 or post. Pre-2004 was about the low point of the NBA for watchability, so I would think most would say post-2004 (i.e. zone defenses are legal). Everything since has just been the game catching up to the rules: SSOL/PnR heavy offenses, Thibs-style strong side flooding, 4 or more shooters to counteract Thibs-type defenses, then switch-heavy to counteract that, and now maybe increased isolations after switches along with shooters.

I was just taking into account that Paul has trouble finishing big 7 games series, unfortunately for him.
that you purposefully didn’t combat anything i said? no that’s a good strategy. not very fun but effective.
so comical that you called me a name yes.
if i seem uspset that no one wants to talk about the basketball/matchup things i put on the table what’s it to you? the only things touched on in this thread have been a error by me over a secondary player and i added an injury joke that is partially true. other than that this thread has been one person interpreting the rules and me arguing that’s not right. but i spent more time talking about the teams and the matchup. other threads that’s what they talk about but not here. we have someone that interprets our gameplan and a participant that doesn’t talk about his team or matchups ever.

I did talk about my team. Gave two breakdowns. It was clearly enough, although I do agree with you that it doesn’t seem to matter what is said. I barely even read the breakdowns, myself. I just pick who I think is better
