Nice vid. My only criticism is that most of these clips are random and unrelated to what you’re talking about. The video would’ve been way more impactful if you showed questionable offensive plays. But instead it’s just plays where the call wouldn’t even be in question cuz nothing is happening and the players aren’t even touching each other. Still a good video though.
Your not very smart top tier. He said it’s a good video just called the clips unrelated. It’s called constructive criticism, something that is clearly above your head
They are not changing the rules here, they are just clarifying with the referees and fans what the actual rulebook says. The officiating began to deviate too far from the actual rulebook.
Real life situation is way more complex than a few pages of rules can describe. Phrases like "Offensive player initiating the contact" or "defensively player jumping in his own airspace" are all fundamentally vague and up for interpretation. The true cutting line is set by the current pattern/tendency of foul calling on the court, not on paper. This value/human pattern/tendency can be changed by communication between the league and the refs.
I am all for it! I love defensive basketball. I’m only 24, but I grew up watching film of 90’s and 2000’s basketball. I love that gritty, physical game. Obviously the game will never get back to that since out shooting is more prominent, but I love decisions like this one
@@FlierEmblem_ yeah for me sometimes i just find defence less stressful since my team chemistry isnt amazing but you dont really need chemistry for defence and im also really good at defence which makes it a lot more fun, especially when i get blocks
Nah, the game isn't any less physical. In matter fact, more foul calls happened in the 90's. Everyone saying they loved 90's basketball typically haven't actually watched games of that era from what I've noticed. Guys had less shooting, inferior skills off the dribble, and weren't as crafty with punishing over eager defensive players. If you hit an offensive player while they're shooting, it should be a foul period. We don't need to artificially bring back the low scoring games of the dead ball era by legalizing obvious fouls to make older fans happy. A foul is a foul
Part of it isn’t the amount of fouls being called. It’s the type of foul. Anytime a player drives, picks up the ball, and gets fouled, they get free throws even if they don’t put up a shot. Another case is I saw Jimmy Butler yesterday go for a layup, miss, got the rebound, got fouled while landing, and get free throws even though he didn’t shoot the ball again. Refs are too quick to rule fouls as shooting fouls.
I guess if you like to watch someone stand around blowing on their hands, laying on the floor crying even tho he's the biggest guy out there. Or staying back behind the play screaming at the refs or always blaming his team. @@tine0508
Handchecking won’t do very much. It’s already one of the most overrated rules ever. Handchecking is not gonna stop luka. Defensive still use handchecking sparingly
@@X02Overdose Because it has exactly nothing to do with the offensive explotion in the NBA which happened in 2017 13 years after hand checking was removed. Foul Baiting needs to be banned the 3 second violation needs to be put back in and the refs need to allow more physicality into the game.
@@X02Overdose because people act like you can completely stop and control players and that’s just false. Players still scored just fine when handchecking was a thing and that was before crossovers and more advanced handles were a thing. Handchecking is an easy way to get blown by especially in todays nba with more space then ever and better shooting then ever. Also when handchecking went away we don’t see a massive scoring jump in the 2000s. If players like Michael Adam’s scored 20+ and was an all star players today will not be affected by handchecking in the slightest
I grew up watching basketball in the early 2000’s so I absolutely hate how the game is now but it’s because it’s soo catered to the offensive player it’s needs to be balanced
I hate guys running into defenders and getting free throws, like without bearning them genuinely. It is not about more physical defense, but actually getting rid of physical offense. Like offensive player seeks physical contact.
This is NOT the first time the nba tells the ref to change the focus during the season. 2 years ago the refs were allowing alot of contact during the first 12 games or so (which fans enjoyed) before the refs were told to open the flood gates.
It’s a combination, players in this era are definitely more talented and have a bigger bag of tricks than older eras, the refs call more for offensive players but there’s also people with a rep like Draymond and pat Bev who get leeway because their reputation is being “defensive dogs” even when they are blatantly fouling. I think foul baiting needs to be clamped down on though.
I think another contributing factor is Wemby as the anointed future Face of the NBA. It's become obvious that his main superpower is once in a generation defense. As a rookie, he's already a candidate for DPoY. Rebounds, Blacks and Steals. He's got it all. And it's Adam Silver's job to help him reach his most impressive potential. For the future of the league. So moving forward, the league will shift to empower defenders more as to give Wemby (and Chet too) a better chance to showcase their skills and get more fans.
I noticed the scoring was down just by looking at the recent games over the last few weeks. Then I went looked to the scoring avg a few days ago and it's down to 114ppg when it had been hovering around 115ppg since like December.
I think the directive should be "call the regular season like the playoffs." Scoring drops dramatically in the playoffs. Part of that is higher effort level and part of it is better game-planning. But a big part is also how much contact the officials allow. If you called the regular season like the playoffs, that would be enough to get scoring under control. I don't think most people want to go back to early 2000s basketball with the Pistons beating the Nets 84-77 or whatever. But there's a middle ground. Games that finish 143-137 aren't that fun to watch either. I think 110 is about the perfect average score.
He’s like a movie character. Unapologetically him. Shows no remorse for previous actions. The masses praise him for being real. The lengths we go to reject reality…
does seem to be better games played after the all-star break, i hated seeing every other play a foul. no fun watching someone drop 50 if the result is watching a 4hr game with everyone flopping and getting to the line.
The officiating seemed to really shift after Luka's 73 point game. Since then, I feel like they're making it a point to allow a lot more physicality in an effort to shed the soft era label.
I don't see it as the league changing rules midseason, but more the refs correcting how they call fouls. The offensive player was given too many liberties in getting foul calls and it was getting out of hand. This is much better.
scoring is down because the guys who can score are out. Embiid, KAT, Trae, Randle, Scottie Barnes, Donovan Mitchell and Booker have missed time as well. These are 1st or second options on teams
Not true at all lol even the worst teams in the league like the Wizards can score 140 points on any given night. When stars are out other players take the mandle.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 you realize that they literally keep track of how many more points are scored when these stars are on the floor right? What I said wasn't speculation. It's based on recorded stats. Plus we're talking on average. Of course teams will have random point explosions, but right now teams on average are scoring less than they were before the all star break.
I don't believe that scoring has increased mainly due to the talent level, it has increased because the NBA hasn't allowed players to play defense in the regular season anymore. The playoffs is a good example, when the officials allow players to actually play defense. The games have become unwatchable atm, Shai, Luka, Embiid, they are all foul merchants, they are very talented and gifted scorers, but every damn contact, they seem to earn a foul.
I only agree with that to a certain extent.. However, the main reason the scoring is so high is because the style of play, the amount of three point shots, and how fast paced the game is now… it’s also hard to guard when you have almost every player can knock down a three(I exaggerated) also you have team setting screens all over the place.
why are you only showing so much letrash, he doesn't even have close to any of the high scores. You mentioned flailing, that must be why lebalco is the focus

How convenient for LeBron. He's accumulated all his stats in the zero defense era, now that he's about to retire, they're gonna make scoring harder again.... more proof that the NBA catered to this clown his entire career!
Casual, Lebron played like 70% of his career and won his 4 MVP and 3 of his FMVP before the 3pts revolution and scoring explosion that really started around 2018 after the Warriors dominated the league and won 3 titles, so from 2003 to 2018, the game was still similar to other era, the 2000’s and early 2010’s were like the 90’s, and the late 2010’s like the 70’s or 80’s, it’s only after 2018 or 2020 that the offensive rating reached a new high and keep getting higher, so basically after Lebron 35th birthday, Lebron isn’t in his prime anymore, if not he would be putting much better stats, but because of the offensive explosion, the spacing and 3pts shooters everywhere his basic 5 major stats still look the same as they were in his prime, but stop acting like they did this for him, who could have tought that Lebron would still be playing at a Top 10 level at this age ? This is just the natural evolution of Basketball man, offensive rating always go high, then low, then high again ect, you would know it if you wasn’t a casual
I dissagree with you. If they take away calling fouls when driving to the hoop. Then Everyone is going to play like the gay goldens state warriors styles where all your going to do is shoot threes and avoid driving to the hoop. If they want to limit scoring. They will have to officiate like they did in the 90's. Which is more physical. Handchecking allowed. And if a team gets to hammer you when going to the rim let them hammer you to send a psychological message to the smaller less physical player that if you drive to the hoop you will get hammered. This will add more variety and stategy to the game. Rather then just driving to the hoop and kicking out for the open 3s or just shooting 50 shoot attempts from 3s. The game is so mindless now.

Great vid tucker
This only works when they apply the rules to EVERYONE. Not just "giannis gets to travel as much as he wants"
Bruhhh he either bulldozes or gets a foul..and they calk him unstoppable- well duh there is no choice

What is the point of having a half court line? With the shot clock why do you need it?
love the video

im seeing more defense in my local pickup games than some of these plays. its pathetic
Right decision. James made 4 steps during his spin move (6:00) and dunked the ball. No call. What a shame.
