I’ve beat this drum before — it’s almost impossible to build a roster that will beat the Golden State Warriors or the Houston Rockets at their own game. Small ball and shooting are the heavy metal band t-shirt of basketball trends.
If you walk into an Urban Outfitters or an H&M you will see racks of Metallica, Slayer and Iron Maiden t-shirts. These are being marketed to hipsters who have no emotional connection to or even much knowledge of these bands’ discography or history — it’s superficial flossing. Their only connection to heavy metal is the giant hoop earrings hanging from their lobes.
