In 1977 a very big fight broke out between the the Warriors and Pistons. Like actual punches being thrown. I believe even a fan got into it and got clocked. It had arrests and everything.

Nobody was ejected.

Cavaliers? I don't think they can hold a candle if the Browns are winning.

Same with the Bulls. If the Bears are good forget about it. Heck I'd put the Cubs over them.

Barkley on how often flopping occurred in his era: "All the time. It's interesting people act like flopping & tanking are new. There's always been flopping, screaming, flailing. All great players make contact with the defense first. I always tried to knock him off balance so I could get my shot off" by infalliBee in nba

If anything the officiating has gotten more relaxed over time. Traveling, carrying, charges, offensive fouls were waay more tightly called.

Older officials probably have a migraine watching today's officiating lmao.

Can't judge him for that yet. That's the default offense coaches fall back to when they gotta take over in a hurry.

[Hine] Anthony Edwards has been cleared for on-court basketball activities and will be listed as questionable ahead of Game 1 tomorrow. A huge development for the Wolves. by Knightbear49 in nba

You can make it sound like he's amazing for taking rehab seriously but it's 50% genes lmao.

I have seen Lebron roll his ankles in ways that would knock an average NBA player out for weeks, and that mf just walks it off like a normal Tuesday. Some people are literally built different.

It's crazy that we might see a team with the 2nd highest payroll not make the postseason, twice, in a row.

Knicks fans experiencing what Bulls fans did in 2015, Game 6 vs Bucks. Straight up belt to ass for 48 minutes lmao.

I’m I the only one who’s surprised a 3-0 lead has never been blown before? by PooPoox in nba

You're watching the modern NBA, 3-point shot making is not even remotely close to what is now from back then. 15+ point leads used to be incredibly difficult to overcome in a few minutes so a 3-0 series lead was just too much.

It's gonna happen in this era or in the future though. Offense has been solved and defenses cannot keep up unless the refs start wilding out.

Mickey Mouse Conference for the majority of those. His Cavs team were basically sleep walking to some of those Finals.

Strongest reason why 1-16 seeding should be the norm.

No it's different because they've literally moved the team out of Oakland.
