Scoring Is Way Down In The NBA - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Tom Tolbert who is a former NBA player got into a argument with Stephen Smith who does the NBA games in the ESPN studio with Kevin Frazier, Greg Anthony, Bill Laimbeer. Tom argued with Stephen that the scoring this yr has been terrible from a lot of teams. Tom said players can't shoot anymore & i agree with him. A lot of the games have been very low scoring this yr & it's been like that for the last couple of yrs. Tom said back in the day when he was playing with Golden State, Golden State used to average 118 points a game. Now u got teams averaging 80-90 points a game LOL. Some games be in the 60's like New Jersey last week. New Jersey only scored 63 points against Memphis LOL. How do u only score 63 points in a game? Toronto's offense used to be horrible too this yr before they got Donyell Marshall, Jalen Rose, Lonny Baxter.

Scoring has been down historically for a while, but I think it is worse this year. Steven Smith is way too annoying to be on a show all the time. I dont like all the fouls at the end of games in Pro or college, I would give you 2 out of 3 chances to make free throws in the last 2 minutes of a game.

I don't really care for Steven Smith either but he keeps it real.

Steve Smith is the ABC/ESPN's answer to Charles Barkley, the man you love to hate and/or the man you hate to love but he keeps it real I agree!!
