2016 Warriors attempted a league leadin 31.6 3s a game..... That would rank dead last this season in 3 point attempts

[lib123]

If they don't take those shots it fukks up the spacing and rhythm of the offense. Unless you're saying they should cut down on those 3s and take more long 2s, which would be counterproductive.

The only type of 3s that shouldn't be taken by those who aren't the elite of the elite are contested ones, otherwise, if you're open, you gotta shoot it.

No they shouldn’t take more long twos. They should gameplan to get more shots at the rim. A lot of guys shouldn’t be taking this many 3s contested or not, they’re not good enough shooters. Hence why we’re not seeing an increase in scoring commensurate with the increase in 3pt attempts. Teams that can’t shoot and especially young teams should be playing faster to get more transition points. But that goes back to players not training as hard in the offseason and getting injured, they need to be in tip top shape to play faster.

Takings 3s = opens up the floor = more easy scoring opportunities at the rim.

The league-average for shots attempted (team) in the restricted area this season is 26 attempts per game
The league-average for shots attempted (team) in the restricted area in 2000 was 24 attempts per game.

Basically, the teams today are attempting relatively the same amount of shots at the rim as they did back in 2000. Go figure.

It’s not opening up the floor for teams that can’t shoot because opponents are letting below average shooters take those shots.

Something tells me y'all Lakers fans would have a different type of energy if y'all had a team that was worth rooting for.

Ball and Miller shoot probably league average from 3, which for the amount of attempts they take is probably a bit much, but if they're not taking those shots, who do you want on that roster hoisting them?

Curry is their best shooter, but he's so bad at everything else that it's tough to keep him out there much, so then it's probably Mann, the backup PG.

Not really

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Not really

Yes really.

If the Lakers had just won B2B championships, anchored by a homegrown talent, y'all would have a different type of energy. Except y'all nxggas is trash, headed by a player who y'all consider an archnemesis (as a representation) to y'all favorite player. There's nothing to look forward to for y'all, so y'all take it out on the state of the league. It's the reason why the utmost majority of posters complaining about the NBA are fans of teams/players who ain't shyt.

It's the same reason why you've never see Celtics fans or Nuggets fans (all five of them) shyt on the league over the last couple of seasons.

 

[gtj1982]

I keep being told teams have to shoot 3s to create spacing but spacing for what if the percentage of shots that are 3PA keeps going up?

Nobody likes all the 3's, not even Celtics or Nuggets fans. You act like we didnt just win a title less than 5 years ago.

Talking about we trash but u out here taking 18 month sabbaticals whenever the Dubs aren't in a spot for u to pop shyt. Weirdo.

You speak for their fans now?

What's that have to do with the last 1-2 years?

Resorting to ad hominem because you don't have an argument. Figures.

What do the Warriors have to do with this? Their window ended in 2022 (I made this abundantly clear at the time). Their legacy is solidified. I could give a fukk about what they do or don't do now. The game has moved on. There are better teams and players now. That's the whole part of the game.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Perhaps moving on is something you should be doing too instead of holding onto the past -- it ain't coming back.

Here's the team 3-pt averages over the last 5-6 seasons:

2020 - 34 attempts per game
2021 - 34 attempts per game
2022 - 35 attempts per game
2023 - 34 attempts per game
2024 - 35 attempts per game
2025 - 37 attempts per game (20-game sample size).

Apart from this season, where we're only a quarter way through and the number could easily even out, the league 3-pt average has remained about the same since 2020.

The Hornets need to find other ways to score since they don’t have the personnel to take all of those 3s and gameplan to get Melo Ball and Miller to cut their 3s in half and get more easy buckets at the rim. If Spolestra or Ty Lue were coaching the Hornets Melo Ball and Miller wouldn’t be taking that many 3 pt shots.
