nba is another league that's went to shit about 25 years ago. Man, I loved those teams from the early 80's.
Gervin, Malone, Alex Engish, Artis Gilmore, Kareem, 00 from Boston. Looking at some of those guys would scare the shit out of me.

For me it kind of started going to shit when Dominique came in. And I like Dominique. But with him and then Jordan it became a more individual, 1on 1 game. And then the Pistons.
 
I agree the game changed, I don't like it now. but you can't deny the fact that the nba players are better now.

the individual mind-set changed the game. the is in big part, due to the fact most stars today come from inner-cities, where you go to the playground and if there is 1 other dude there... you play him 1 on 1. if there are 15 dudes there, you play "every man" where you all still play for yourself, going 1 vs 14 to score. there is no such thing as learning spacing, passing, defense ect. and there are very few coaches left that are old enough to teach that stuff, that still have the energy to deal with gangsters. so basically its all one-on-one and monkey ball mentality.

back in the 80's who would have stopped Shaq in his prime? Moses malone was the bigggest baddest dude and he would be dwarfed by shaq.

God Bless Steve Nash and Europeans that keep some integrity in the game

conditioning, athletic ability, and most of weight-lifting changed the game

They were changed by the American Jew that heads the NHL to make the game more popular for Americans.

Plommer is no fan of the changes and especially hates shootouts and regular season overtime.

Real hockey games have TWO points NOT three!

The shootout is nothing but a gimmick. Gary fucking Bettman should be shot. Now they're trying to find a way to get rid of it because they now know how silly it is. OT Should be 10 mins long and not 5.

The rule changes were to create a quicker pace and to increase goals - high scoring games would attract Americans.

Back in the day there was alot of holding, clutching and grabbing which slowed the game down and made for less scoring chances.
Now the refs call penalties for holding if you attempt to slow the puck carrier down by grabbing on or something similar.

PS: Matty, fuck off.

The holding, clutching and grabbing was just horrible in the 90's. WHY??? Because of expansion and a watered down talent pool of 4th and 3rd liners who couldn't keep up with speed of the top 6 players. The clutching and grabbing was so bad that Lemieux called the NHL a garbage league.
 
I don't know if it's the refs or whoever is directing the refs.
Remember before the strike when every season the refs would call the game tight at the start? And 10 games in they'd go back to not calling shit. :lmao: I keep hearing the tv personalities bitching about how the refs need to let them play, bla bla bla.

It may well be that the players are so big that once they play the body on you there's just not much room to do anything.
They can try to call penalties whenever you lay the stick on a player. Just do not allow any contact of stick to body. Also if you hit a player a second after the puck is gone,( I see this all the time) you should be penalized. It really bogs down the play. If a player passes the puck along the boards and then gets nailed, he can't get back in the play and it kills flow.

Besides that, expanding ring size, going 4 on 4 would be pretty radical solutions.

Maybe they can find better offensive coaches. The only theory they go with is getting traffic in front of the net and hope for deflections. That's garbage hockey. Tarasov's dead :dunno:
 
yeah, but it shouldn't be the primary strategy. It's a waste of talent. These players have tremendous talent, we shouldn't be watching them wrestle at the top of the crease.

The other thing I noticed early this year is poor catching of passes and too many inaccurate passes.
 
Mario Lemieux

He had a 46 game point streak in I believe the 89-90 season that only ended because of injury. His back was so bad he couldn't play the whole game. Which makes that streak even more amazing because he played most of that season in an unbelievable amount of pain due to his chronic back problems.
