This may be true for most teams... except the Lakers who unsurprisingly are being gifted +420 FT more than their opponents with 12 games remaining. Meanwhile, no team has such a differential of +220... NBA is turning into a scripted entity like that of pro-wrestling, while this has been a problem going back to the Shaq-Kobe Lakers being "pushed" above small market teams in the Jailblazers or Kings--the former apparently being "bad for league image."
I freaking love it. I saw Kings Knicks a few days ago, and it was a great, intense game with a score in the 90s. Jalen Brunson dropping 42 was massive in that kind of game.
The league doesn’t want to admit the change because that’ll mean the league is rigged. All the numerous games where a team loss mainly due to a wide difference in free-throws. That rabbit hole would ruin them.
Someone give this man his own show on ESPN please. I know this probably won’t happen because he’s too truthful but he has the look, the voice, the tone, etc and is a lot better than most of the hires on ESPN today.
2:18... the Steph, KD 2017 Warriors would rank 18th on offense today. Does that really mean the 16/17 GSW had a bad offense?? No, it means today's numbers are fake!
This is a great video I've subscribed, but i was avoiding this channel because of the clickbait titles. Just put the content summary as the title of the video, I'd be watching - like nba changes rules quietly to reduce scoring. Simple and honest
While I like the change, I have to admit, nothing has changed for the Pacers unfortunately. We still get foul calls against us from the opponent foul baiting, and barely get fouls called for our own players getting hacked. It's ridiculous at this point. Every night it feels like we're playing 5vs8
Adam silver continuing to show why he’s the worst commish in sports. The game of basketball has just got so bad and unwatchable past several years. The scoring and all about personal stats, the no defense, inconsistent refs, super teams and everyone changing teams every few few years. The lies the cover ups, the inside fixing, and most recently with gambling on the game. Even Halliburton is calling out the gambling on the game.
The J's are always about the bottom line: $$. It is dangerous if the fans get disgruntled. Love your analysis, Casey...are you a software engineer type?
Growing up watching baskets, had to switch sport causing how bad it was getting. When I did want to basket still I go with European basketball maybe less talent but 100% more entertaining
I love 100-110 point games. That means that great defensive plays and offensive plays both get their time to shine, and every posession that you score feels like a win.
Simply just low scoring games rn bc teams are playing hard every day now considering there’s only like 10 regular szn games left and teams are trying to get the highest seeding possible

I agree with all of this. The constant scoring is boring. It should be first team to 100. The constant free throws are soooo boring. And the foul calls were so inconsistent. It was like depending on the player, basketball could be a temporary contact sport. Hopefully this injects better quality basketball into the league.

I pretty much checked out on the nba for the first time in my life earlier this year cause I just got tired of watching all the foul baiting and constant free throws. When they started calling less fouls at the beginning of the year a few seasons ago and openly announced it the first few months of that season were so much better and then it’s gradually reverted to being a joke.
It’s not really the high scoring that is annoying , it’s THE BS FOUL CALLS AND FOUL HUNTING!!! Score 130 it’s fine but don’t make me watch a game where defense is not allowed.
Come to think of it, that garbage All-Star performance was actually a blessing. It was so pathetic that in embarrassed the people in charge and forced them into making real changes.
I'm not a fan of gambling in general, and the NBA being partnered with gambling will always be something anyone can point to as a conflict of interest on the part of the NBA that very well affects the game (and arguing it doesn't is just based on wishful thinking, not logic). However, the NBA has painted themselves into a corner. Legitimately, gambling enterprises should be taking the NBA to court (haha) and racking up the dough.
This is a welcome move on many levels. It encourages proper defense, makes individual high-scoring feats more special rather than becoming the norm, and also free throws are easily the least interesting part of watching any game, so the fewer the better in my opinion.
funny on how the lakers will be hit by these change the hardest, i mean come on bruh, they have 1k free throws vs the other teams below them which have 200+ and 300+ free throws, if thats not rigged, i dont know what is

When they started calling less fouls at the beginning of the year a few seasons ago and openly announced it the first few months of that season were so much better and then it’s gradually reverted to being a joke.
This is your best video yet dude.
It’s not really the high scoring that is annoying , it’s THE BS FOUL CALLS AND FOUL HUNTING!!! Score 130 it’s fine but don’t make me watch a game where defense is not allowed.
Come to think of it, that garbage All-Star performance was actually a blessing. It was so pathetic that in embarrassed the people in charge and forced them into making real changes.
I'm not a fan of gambling in general, and the NBA being partnered with gambling will always be something anyone can point to as a conflict of interest on the part of the NBA that very well affects the game (and arguing it doesn't is just based on wishful thinking, not logic). However, the NBA has painted themselves into a corner. Legitimately, gambling enterprises should be taking the NBA to court (haha) and racking up the dough.
However, the Lakers average more FT than anyone else in the league. So, it doesn't'apply to them.
This is a welcome move on many levels. It encourages proper defense, makes individual high-scoring feats more special rather than becoming the norm, and also free throws are easily the least interesting part of watching any game, so the fewer the better in my opinion.
Ironically, that is even better for Nuggets who were already favorites and are at the bottom in FTA.
ngl i like the new rule cuz it doesn't affect the lakers who are my team but it affects every other franchise
"everone"?!!?!?!?!
It seemed like this happened after the all star break, and I’m thankful for it.
The game has become unwatchable. They don’t let guys even play d. Touch fouls are the death of basketball
Hoop Reports in the background 🤣
funny on how the lakers will be hit by these change the hardest, i mean come on bruh, they have 1k free throws vs the other teams below them which have 200+ and 300+ free throws, if thats not rigged, i dont know what is
banger after banger w vids
After you made this video blow-out games happened again. 😂
Makes sense why the clock was messed up for that golden state game they wanted the score to be a certain number
The closing remarks was so funny to me idk why
good vid!👍
Wasnt it JxmyHighroller who showed that Embiid is getting more foul calls then Shaq who was fouled on purpose. This was a right thing to do by Silver.
yeah i seen a couple slips online where the under hit every single game in the nba several times, peole were doing 10$ to 1000$ slips
I still would like to see them bring back the hand check and call more offensive fouls (traveling, illegal screens, etc.)
