Hayes another decent night against a bad team.

No defense on display in this ot game.

This is a general statement, not just about this game......

The NBA's current game play is almost unwatchable. It's bad. Seems like 50% of shots are 3's......the softest contact in the lane gets a whistle. IF for some unbelievable reason there is no whistle.....the offensive player cries like soccer player after a "foul".

There is no mid range game. There is very little passing. Fast breaks are boring.....everyone just wants to score themselves.

I miss the 102-98 games. 94-89. Games with some defense.

As far as the offense is concerned, I agree 100%. I watched the 2nd 1/2 of this game and OT. It seemed both teams made a few passes around the perimeter and then someone launched a three. Some went in but a bunch were terrible shots. Airballs, bricks, etc. It really isn't an entertaining brand of basketball.
