This team should tank for that #1 pick because they need it badly.

That's okay. Means a high draft pick and lots of changes to the roster.

OT - in case anyone missed it, other day Steph was flexing on camera and hit 105 consecutive 3-point shots.
Just think about that level of freakdom. Personally I have spent a lot of time on the hoops court over my lifetime and have launched thousands of 3s (to mixed success at best) so watching Curry just blows me away. GOAT for handles + shooting.

Lauri: 23-7-1
WCJ: 22-13-4
Coby: 20-7-5
Zach: 33-7-3
And we still lost to a scrubby Warriors?

Warriors only scored 16 points off those turnovers, so they didn't take advantage that way. The Bulls got 18 points off the Warriors 12 turnovers, so the Bulls took a better advantage of turnovers.
That stat above would seem to indicate pretty bad defense when not turning the ball over.

i saw that, too. I couldn’t stop watching. It’s absolutely insane to think about hitting that many in a row. That’s the type of thing someone does at the free throw line, not the 3 point line
which brings me to my next tangent...
The nba should do away with the 3 point line IMO. It’s ruining the game. When the game is basically just a 3 point contest with dunks mixed in, the game gets very boring. The part of the court from outside the paint and inside the 3 point line virtually does not matter anymore. It’s taken a game whose goal used to be getting a close open shot and made it just shoot over the top of all defenses. It’s become too easy to shoot the 3 ball. Maybe I’m just old and miss post up basketball and real offense...

Ideally we would have ended up with the mix game.. meaning bigs still play the post up and the wings play the perimeter, the PG drives to the basket and either goes for a layup or kicks out for a three point shot (or dumps off to a big).
The problem is that a whole generation growing up practiced nothing but 3-pointers because they were always worth more points, didn't require you to bruise down around the basket, and thus we've created a whole generation of lazy basketball. I'm part of this generation and saw much of the same thing growing up. Everyone just wanted to shoot threes. A few worked on a post up game at times, but not really. Anyone with speed and ball skills would get their layups, but generally it was stop and shoot from 25 feet away. I myself considered myself a spot up shooter and hated driving to the basket. I can only imagine the even younger generation got worse with the 3 pointers.
I keep reading AAU leagues have done a lot of destroy the basic fundamentals of basketball too.

When you have that many turnover you have no rhythm no flow..Stacy King mentioned a lot of times during the game.ask anyone who played the game.
