Can't blame the guy he wants to watch a team that doesn't quit as soon as things go wrong, we are out of the playoffs he has many good friends in the GSW's organization so he went to watch how a real team plays and hang out with his mates for 2hours of a 24hour day and have a good time.

Also I don't get the European comparison to soccer clubs where those idiot fans literally go fight each other for NO REASON before and after games and fans have to be separated in the stadium from each other and consistently commit hooliganism and racism.

That doesn't happen often in football, and they also make the atmosphere 10x better than all other sports, but that's another discussion. :D

.@Vivek said he's looking for position-less players. My comment to him was that's how we coach. I just didn't have a term for it. Now I do.

I'm getting asked where my comment about position-less players came from. Just so you know, I got it from the owner of the Kings, @Vivek.
Coach Calipari

That was his tweet. I'm telling you..Vivek wasn't crazy when he was talking about position-less basketball. The league already does it. The league has always had position-less players, Vivek is just the first one to actually give it a name.

That is why most of us here in this board are still just FANS.

Maybe, just maybe it is us fans who don't get it.
I'm going to hate myself later on, for even engaging in this conversation but, **** it, I'll bite: what the hell does what @ShastaKingsFan said have to do with what you said? Because, taking the words in your post at face value, they basically amount to, "Well, he's rich, and we're not so... scoreboard." That can't possibly be what you meant to say, can it?

Good point. It's become accepted widely...and yup, Golden State just won it all with a bunch of it

Hmm....so that's how a storm in a teacup looks like. An extended TDOS is know to cause such effects.

Don't sweat the small stuff. Relax and have fun folks!

No, he wasn't.

"The story behind LeBron James, Erik Spoelstra and the Heat's "position-less" basketball philosophy."

Vivek hasn't done anything. And he's getting caught up in names and fun (simple, childlike) ideas about basketball. The Warriors didn't win because of positionless basketball, they won because of talent, hard work, and teamwork. They have the best shooter ever. Ever. Do you guys understand that? Ever. No one has shot from far better than Curry. They can play "positionless" because they have guys that have talent and because they're able to make the floor larger than it's ever been before. If you have talent you can do more with the players and allow them to do more things within their position. Dub it positionless if you want. It's still basketball. If you have 5 guys that are 6'10" and can defend point guards, you too can play "positionless basketball." But it's still basketball. They still have roles. It's the same court. They are just able to have tall people stay on the court because of being fast and agile enough to guard smaller guys.

It's not rocket science. And Vivek isn't some genius masquerading as an idiot. The last couple of years we've bled talent and let talent walk for nothing. That's why we have no assets. That's why we can't play "positionless basketball." Vivek, in fact, has done it completely wrong. The Warriors took GOOD players and then turned them loose. They played to their strengths. Vivek went opposite, trying to shoehorn a guy that has shown very little in the league (Williams) into the Kings plan because he was athletic. That's how Vivek went positionless. crapty talent, good athleticism. Must be positionless. Give me a break.
