The physicality is kind of overratead honestly. It's just that people can't really shoot and everything is post ups/box outs with a crazy crowded paint all the time. No one has space so there's more contact. If these guys played today they'd be shot out of the gym.

Players today are soft as can be. They'd get annihilated by these 90's teams. Also, vs Orlando for example who is guarding Shaq? Lmao
@indiefan2314 күн бұрын
@keithd2850 Soft huh? Yea cuz Zach Edey or Haslem or Bron wouldn't be able to take that rough and tumble from the 90s 225 pound bigs. Like settle down man. Who's Shaq guarding? His lack of skill would make him so much less effective. Everyone brings up "oh man who's guarding shaq!" but plenty of people handled Shaq. Dream/Duncan. Freaking Ostertag handled Shaq and held him to 7 boards multiple times in a playoff series. Go back and actually watch games. What you'll find is this insane defence was not nearly what you thought it was. A bunch of smaller, unathletic dudes not fouling nearly as hard or often as you remember cuz players didn't have the skills to really punish bad defence. No sophisticated defensive schemes cuz it was a one on one league and there was no recovery from double teams. It's just such a reach that in 25 years the league has declined. What are those slow ass centers doing to do when Curry and even some 8th man like Pritchard have logo range? They're gonna come out to meet them? No they're not it's gonna be blow bys and open jumpers all over them.

This was my favorite Knicks team ever but I thought that the year before was the better team. But Jordan wasn’t playing baseball in ‘93. However, he was playing baseball in ‘94.

Rebounding killed the Pacers in this game; they gave up an unthinkable 28 offensive boards and were ultimately out rebounded 51-29. In a game this close, you can't be giving your opponent more chances. Defensive rebounding would bite them again in another Game 7 four years later
@scottb30346 ай бұрын
crazy when you think they had some good rebounders. As for that other game 7....i think reggie miller being shut out the entire 4th quarter wound up killing them more.
@matthewpredmore65236 ай бұрын
Yep, you can’t score if you don’t have the ball. Getting out-rebounded 2-1 makes for a lot of missed possessions.

@@scottb3034I don't deny Reggie vanishing was crucial but consider this; Jordan had 5 offensive rebounds (more than the Pacers had as a team) four of which led to him scoring immediately. That's eight extra points from Jordan alone in a game the Bulls won by 5.
