65-20?

[Valuist]

The tire iron can be very painful. I don't think the Clippers will be sitting down for days.

 

[kane]

I saw the score and did a double take, how the fuck can any team get down that much that early

 

[kane]

Mavs are -34.5 live, LOL

Although never again this bad likely, are these types of games more likely to occur now? Whether rest or covid lists...quality of NBA regular season may hit an all time low, which is hard to stomach considering what it can be, now.

The Clips were 1-for-19 from beyond the arc in the first half.

Keep chucking.

That's the NBA these days.

Baseball is all-or-nothing with the home run or strikeout and that's where the NBA is headed.

It’s actually been that way for a while now with the position less players that evolved from the metrics. Everything better be a dunk or a three.

what a terrible product, season should be 40 games max. take it to china

You don't watch the NBA anyway, why do you care how many games they play

No doubt but I think it could get more extreme as time goes on.

The number of three-point attempts has nearly doubled over the past 10 seasons.

And that's off tremendous percentage increases over the past quarter-century.

Where does the 3-point shooting level off?

 

[John Kelly]

And, of course, the Rockets with James Harden and Mike D'Antoni led the revolution.

Yuk!

ESPN's win probability took a hit in the Raider game yesterday. Nonetheless, the 99.9% at halftime
win prob for the Mavs renewed my confidence.

124-73 final.

Do you want to bet a product where teams lay down that bad?

Only if I know which team is laying down.

 

[John Kelly]

Luka Doncic obviously was pleased with his team's effort Sunday at Staples Center.

After the game, he said, "We've got to play defense. That's our specialty from now on."

We shall see.

 

[winkyduck]

So I went to the Clippers schedule to see when these 2 would meet again this season so I could make sure to be on the Clippers for the payback when they next meet

NOPE!

According to the sked I saw this was their only meeting of the season

Bummer

I wonder if the NBA would consider giving up the 3.. created a monster. the blowouts are bad for the product.

 

[howid]

give up the 3 - and the shot clock - for a better product.

Not a chance.

The NBA 3-point shot has been around since 1979.

But only over the past decade has it grown to dominate the game.

Some credit the popularity of the shot to the emergence of Steph Curry and the Warriors.

Makes sense.

Check out a high school game and you're likely to see at least one undersized guard launching shots from his hip.

have to make games with less blowouts. Maybe a defense rules adjustment
