They still gotta play teams that are gonna miss 30 threes a night , lol
We done with missed 3s
That still doesn't answer the question as to why posters on here don't embrace Jokic/Nuggets. That still doesn't answer the question as to why posters on here don't say more players/teams should be more like Jokic and the Nuggets. That still doesn't answer the question as to why they've shytted on Jokic for the last 4-5 years.They still gotta play teams that are gonna miss 30 threes a night , lol

Why is that? Shouldn't Jokic be this board's hero? Why has he been a villan on here instead?
Why don't these posters embrace DeRozan and the Kings who take considerably more midrange attempts than the rest of the league? Why aren't posters coming out and saying "I really like watching DeRozan and the Kings, they're keeping real hoops alive"?
DeRozan not y'all hero? DeRozan not playing the game how y'all want it to be played?

These cats don't know what they want. They will complain about the product, no matter what. The older they get the more they will complain.I can’t believe yall are suggesting a limit on 3 pointers.
That’s like limiting the amount of pass attempts in football
If your team shoots less than 35% from 3 during a game, all your 3pt attempts in the 1st qtr of the next game will only be worth 2pts.
Bang.
Bang.

"I think the game is in a great place. I love watching the games, and I think we have some of the most skilled athletes in the world competing -- and it's unfair, I think, to the players to lump them into categories as 3-point shooters or a midrange shooter or big man playing under the basket. It's an amazing game."
"So, at the end of the day, we are an entertainment product, and the vast majority of people consume us through media, not in person," he added. "So, we have to pay a lot of attention to that. But if you look at other data points in terms of our business, for example, we've just come off the last two years of the highest attendance in the history of this league. We're at a point where our social media audience is at the highest of any league and continuing to grow exponentially. So, there's not a lack of interest in this game."
- Silver believes the game is in a great place
- Silver believes it's unfair to catergorize the game like y'all do into being all about 3-pt shooting
- The NBA has had the highest attendance in the last two years in the history of the league
- The NBA has the highest social media audience of any league and is continuing to grow
- There's not a lack of interest in the game.
Coli Cats who can't read lose again.
You keep leaving out the part where he says the teams play the same. And he isn’t going to trash the league in an article.

Just too many 3s overall. It don't really matter at this point
Gotta get back to 20-30
30/40/50 is retarded. Especially if the percentages are not going up
These shots are dumb far away, and they just letting loose
THE LEAGUE AVERAGE IS 37.5.YOUR ARENT CHANGING
ANYTHING BY ALLOWING 40-45.
LEAGUE AVERAGE WAS 24 IN 2016
The same percentage of jumpshots is taking place as before.
Heres an article 20 years years worry where the shooting went, and it was 67% of shots being jumpers.
Idk why 3s bother people so much. Bad shots are bad shots. Seeing Monta Ellis brick long 2s, or Dwight brick post ups aint any better

OKC was punished for it by losing. It's a self correcting problem.

He's talking about the criticism around folks saying the league is "cookie cutter", not that he believes that.
More to the point -
The league has always been a copycat one. Always. It's always followed trends where its eras are based upon teams playing like one another. What you think is happening now, is no different to the past. It will always be like that.
Let me ask you something - we're now in a positionless state, where players don't play positions like they used to do. Now, if we were to go back to a time where positions played strictly to their traditional roles (PG set up the offense and rarely looked to score; big men could only stay within proximity of the paint) and every team played like this, do you think Gen Z would believe teams all play the same? Do you think Gen Z would like it if certain positions couldn't do certain things because it doesn't follow tradition?
Why is it a negative that teams all play the same today, but when teams all played the same with traditional roles deemed a positive?
That still doesn't answer my question.
I said the cap amount can be argued, that's your opinion and I respect it

Then why aren't yall checking in to see the high-level entertainment of DeRozan and the Kings missing contested midrange shots? Why aren't they they most enjoyable team to y'all that hate all the 3s today? Why aren't y'all saying that DeRozan and the Kings would make the TV ratings higher if everyone played like them?

If the 3-pt volume is causing folks to not watch games, how come DeRozan and the Kings aren't the most popular team in the NBA?
They should be shouldn't they, given how y'all believe nobody wants to watch missed 3s?
They ain't gonna do that either

Pass me the rock nikka
This is a natural progression of the game.
This sport has a culture problem people are going to hate regardless.
