Basketball should be more like soccer

I was reading some pistons stuff the other day when I saw this:

In case you don’t understand, it’s a piece that says the pistons have the lowest scoring average during playoffs.

Well, I’m here to tell you this is wrong

Basketball should be more like soccer, where a 0-0 tie is very common. 6 goals (added from both teams) seldom happens. Well, basketball should be like this.

If we had a team of pure blockers (as opposed to “pure shooters” - I hate that word), scores would plummet, and basketball would become a game for real men. This is the ideal score:

Pistons 1 - Oposing team 0

See? That’s a perfect score.
