No one can gaslight me. People slandered this in the moment.

beautiful game spurs wouldn't work today because everyone would switch these actions.

this stuff worked better when people were hedging pick and rolls, and playing traditional 4s.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

The annoying thing about the 3's discourse, all the potential solutions are unworkable
so people can complain for the rest of time.


- If you got rid of the 3 basketball would be a nightmare. We'd be watch Jahlil Okafor shoot 20 hook shots a game.
- If you got rid of the corner, 3 there would be way more jump shots and less paint action.
- if you expand the court, you'd make the players have cover even more ground leading to more injuries.

we'll never be free of this.

unless you think Tim Duncan or Tiago Splitter are gonna shoot 3s for 5 out spacing this isn't the beautiful game spurs.

Legitimately the best response to all this I’ve seen.

Tiago Splitter was what made the 'beautiful game' go

Not multiple actions, off ball movement, making reads & the extra pass. Tiago Spiltter.

Fool’s gold. They ain’t making no noise.

5 out spacing is what makes the celtics go.

the spurs were still playing traditional bigs. this is just a fact.

"Beautiful Game Spurs "

it's the well known nickname for that era of spurs basketball

Look at where Haywood is

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Boston are solid passers with amazing spacing.

Spurs were amazing passers with solid spacing.


is anybody watching the Celtics and thinking, "wow these guys are just amazing passers"?
nah there reads are really obvious because the spacing is so amazing.

One of the weirder moments happened to me a few hours ago.


I was having a korean dinner with friends in a mall. Our server rushes to put the food down and sprints to take a selfie with this girl. Dude was all smiles. I asked him who tf was that and i searched the name it’s a 20 year old porn star. Guy was like 40 years old too. Crazy behavior.

Sounds normal these days

I remember the LABEL, yes. I was there.

But the phrase, "Beautiful Game Spurs" is still hilarious.

 

[JMB10215]

Shoutout to T-Mac. Had a pretty *** game. But some of these shots he took, you can’t even take today. A lot of those pull up deep 2’s are “bad shots” now but he’s just taking what the defense gives him. Playing the game off of instinct and skill. Not worrying about the value of the shot. Is that the most efficient way to play? But the creativity was fun to watch

 

[pmatic]

Spurs really took off when Splitter and Diaw came on board.
