I respect that but sorry that I am not the one to do the numbers thing.I just don't care enough to run through them to prove anything when eye sees things as what they are. Numbers are a way of pushing the real game aside in my opinion.
Bruh,
Do I have to care about the average difference? Can't I just watch both and see and say the obvious?
You can live in whatever imaginary land you want to live in. But you can't argue that it was harder to score in the 90's.You have nothing to back up that claim. So it's just a thing in your mind alone. People misremeber and misinterprete things they see all the time.
Just a thing in my mind? I don't think so. I know you guys love the numbers game. But basketball is more than that.
Not at all. You sided with Hack. Now I am 1 to 2. I lose.

No. I'm usually against advanced statistics, and don't think that stats tell the whole story. But this is pretty simple argument that is easily settled with a stat that doesn't lie. We are talking about the ability to score, which is directly tied to how many points are scored.
I agree with all of this. In fact, my memory tells me that scoring was higher back then. Higher scoring team wise and individual wise. (Seemed like someone always averaged 30+ per game.... Now that rarely happens anymore)
Ah, just saw this post after my previous one
I said it. He would be very good. But it is not the same shooting without leap or fade away and still hit clean threes compared to clean looks he has now. Also, Spurs and Warriors apply really good ball movement for spacing so they would be really good as a team in any era. But they still have not experienced tougher D that some experienced before. Basketball is a game of streak and balance. I would love to see him keep his clean shooting when he was getting bruised all around the court. This is not inability to appreciate today's game. I still give the greats their credit. Unbelievable talents. But they don't experience 90's toughness.
