Up to this point, the refereeing has been noticeably bad. It seems that the league is trying to get more physicality involved but the results are wildly inconsistent.

Lakers will make the playoffs again.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

The NBA trying to ink a new broadcast rights deal in the next 6 to 12 months. Having both Steph Curry and LeBron James miss the playoffs at the height of those negotiations and leaving fans to cheer for Lauri Markkanen, Alperen Sengun, Rudy Gobert and a guy who'd rather be harness racing probably not in the NBA's best interests.

The future's kinda not great for USA fan friendly NBA stars: 4 of the top 5 picks in many current 2024 mock drafts have names you have to google to find out how to pronounce.

I'm close to the center on most issues.

Did anyone try to watch the All-Star game last night. I made it through the first quarter and turned it off. Was expecting to see little to no defense but just don't see the point of watching a game with zero defense and a final score of 211-186. Yuck.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

When Kobe died a few years ago, they all star game was played in his honor. It was the most fun all star game I've ever seen. It was surreal to see those guys all playing hard.

All I'm saying is we need to shoot one NBA star every year right before the All Star Game.

total was 397...unreal

i wonder what the physical limit is...if you're running a track meet and jacking up shots non-stop...could you get to 450? they both shot about 56% overall, i guess if you could get to 65-70%

if a team played as fast as they could, and the other team played no defense, and they both scored on every play... what would the total be?

In an NBA game, there are 48 minutes of regulation play, divided into four 12-minute quarters. If we assume that a team is playing as fast as possible and scores a 2-point basket every possession, we need to estimate the shortest possible time for a possession.

The shot clock in the NBA is 24 seconds, but a team playing at a very fast pace might shoot within 10 seconds of gaining possession. However, this doesn’t account for time stoppages due to out-of-bounds plays, fouls, timeouts, and other factors. So, let’s say on average, a team can get a shot off every 15 seconds.

This means there are 4 possessions per minute, and therefore 192 possessions in a 48-minute game. If a team scores a 2-point basket on every possession, they would score 384 points. If they were to score a 3-point basket on every possession, they would score 576 points.

However, this is a theoretical maximum and assumes perfect shooting, no time stoppages, and no defense from the opposing team. In reality, even in a game with no defense, teams would not be likely to maintain such a pace and perfect shooting for the entire game.

what if Russel Wilson ran up and down the court every play, which takes 3.3 seconds?

If a team could make a dunk every 3.36 seconds, there would be approximately 17.86 possessions per minute. Over a 48-minute game, that’s about 857 possessions. If each possession results in a successful 2-point dunk, the team would score approximately 1,714 points.

This is a theoretical maximum and assumes perfect shooting, no time stoppages, and no defense from the opposing team. It’s also worth noting that maintaining such a pace for the entire duration of a game is highly unlikely, even in a hypothetical scenario. Additionally, this doesn’t account for the physical toll it would take on players to sprint and dunk at this pace for an entire game. But it’s a fun thought experiment!

what if they shot a 3 point, full court shot on every play?

If a team could make a shot every 3 seconds, there would be 20 possessions per minute. Over a 48-minute game, that’s 960 possessions. If each possession results in a successful 3-point shot, the team would score 2,880 points.

This is a theoretical maximum and assumes perfect shooting, no time stoppages, and no defense from the opposing team. It’s also worth noting that making a shot every 3 seconds for the entire duration of a game is highly unlikely, even in a hypothetical scenario.
