Just attach mini microphones to all the players so we can hear the trash talking.
They should use the sounds from NBA Jam.

The post is amazing and incredibly entertaining to watch! This season everyone absolutely loved watching Zion (a post player) bully his way to shots. There have also been many fan favorites who dominated a game in the post not with sheer power, but just pure skill (MJ, DWade, Kareem, Dirk, etc.). It is an absolute myth that post play means no ball movement. In fact, success in the post facilitates ball movement both to cutters as well as to spot up shooters (think Spurs with Duncan). I absolutely love watching post players that are gifted passers (like Jokic, Gasol and Noah) and think it is some of the most beautiful basketball ever played.Everyone that hates the three are the “get off my lawn back in my day“ types. Empty post and open floor makes for beautiful basketball.

If you think the Rockets, with their empty post and open floor, is beautiful basketball then good for you. IMO, the most entertaining/beautiful basketball is (and always has been) a dominant post-player with ball movers, cutters, and shooters/floor spacers. I support changes to the game that find a better balance in post play and shooting the 3 every time (so boring).
Fanbases think this way, maybe some front office (but not likely), coaches and players give zero effs and will play to win.So apparently the Thunder get to keep their 1st round draft pick this year if it falls in the top 20. Otherwise, it would convey to Philly. Right now, they're tied with Miami for 21/22. They might be motivated to fall to the 6th seed, letting Miami and Houston get past them, which would likely Utah a 4/5 matchup with Houston.
Last year’s Nuggets say Hi HH!Fanbases think this way, maybe some front office (but not likely), coaches and players give zero effs and will play to win.
that was a competitive matter though... rigging a matchup is different than draft position... so they were playing to win but playing the long game.Last year’s Nuggets say Hi HH!

Also for every Jokic or Gasol there are a handful of Al Jefferdad's. IMO we have the right amount of post play in the league atm. I would agree to expanding the court a smidge because the corners are two short and then you could push the line back a bit... the idea would not be to get less threes though, but to create more space.
It will always be a make or miss league though... 97-98 we shot like 22% from 3 in the finals.Obviously. No one’s said threes are dumb. But imo, the dependency on them for team success is a bit much. As is the rate at which people are hitting them now imo. Even if it’s moved back just 8 inches, that would be cool.
