21 is for everyone. Many great players cut their teeth playing 21 and horse.

Speak for yourself. 21 is fine if you don't have enough people to play an actual game

The Elam ending of this shockers game has been intense

There are no overtime in Elam. It's all or nothing. More intense in close games

Or like double OT v Buddy Hield.
But remember that one game winner of all those game winners since every single game in the Elam ending has a game winner?

Once again you fail to understand anything.

21 is fun. But if you’re a professional you aren’t playing a full season of 21. And if you are, I am not watching.

Taking the crotchety old man approach again there eh pdub?

It's OK to like things that are a little different than what you are used. A lot of people like the Elam ending

It's also ok NOT to like things that are "a little different than what you are used". A lot of people DON'T like the Elam ending.

If you enjoy watching all these "gimmick" types of basketball and want to share that, good for you.
I'm sorry you aren't getting pdub (and me, and Oubs(?)) to join you in your attempted(?) circle jerk.

Don't watch tbt then if you're upset about it. I'm enjoying it

I know the big picture is a struggle.

Nobody is concerned about Elam endings for the TBT, its a slightly more organized and glorified pick up game.

Yes. And that's why people that genuinely just love lacing em up getting on the court and playing ball, like the Elam ending

That's basketball and it purest form. Just competitiveness and making plays

The way the game has evolved with people flopping, trying to get to the free throw line, drawing charges, getting techs for showing emotions, has made it soft

That post of his was worse than me reciting “I must to the barber’s, monsieur, for methinks, I am marvellous hairy about the face, and I am such a tender ass, if my hair do but tickle me, I must scratch.” while going up and down on a teeter-totter with my clothes on backwards and my left pinky finger in my right ear.

Been fun watching this old man play. I always loved Keith Langfords game. So crafty
