He’s got it!

Have a chair on the court that you can sit in or move around to use as a defender.You sit in the chair and make the shot it’s worth double.You can throw it down in the key and use the chair to leap over your opponents.The Chair.Brilliant as usual Adam.*rock claps*

I was watching the nba cup whatever yesterday atrocious, thunder were like 4 for 25 or whatever and kept chucking.

Yet hartenstein was getting easy buckets but they rarely went to him.

Because Isaiah Hartenstein floaters can’t compete with the Bucks bombing 3s

Also the Thunder shot 44% from 2 which is also terrible

You proved my point. OKC won the 2 point battle but lost the game because they didn’t make enough 3s

the bucks made 17 3s out of 40 shooting 42%

:manny:
:manny:
But what about the opportunity to do more of what was working instead of chucking up 18 3s and only making 1. OKC lost because of spamming unnecessary 3s which led to lost scoring offensive possessions.

make the three point line inactive until the 4th quarter? or last 5 minutes of a quarter? :patrice:

do some 2k takeover shyt and activate/light the line up randomly throughout the game? :patrice:

fine the shyt outta teams that shoot below 35% and keep chucking? :patrice:

What are you talking about?

Morey made it a hot line, Curry made it a hot song.

Reverse that.

Warriors made the most midrange jumpers during that era compared to everyone else. Morey's rockets took CONSIDERABLY more threes during the Harden run.

They shot poorly from 2 as well & struggled with the Bucks’ size…it’s just a bad matchup for them.

As for the 3s…I posted about the Nuggets/Cavs where virtually all the stats were the same between both but Cavs made 22 3s while Denver made 6 and took 24 3s overall, while having one less made shot than the Cavs (46 to 47). So unless you got Joker on your team to get extremely efficient 2s, even then the 3s will start to add up over the 2s

Another all-time great who caused rule changes

I mean that is Wilt but Curry is famed for his 3 point shot, something that has been in the league since the 60's. The only reason we are talking about this is because number nerds and dumb coaches force players to take these shots.

Players that have no business shooting them are given the green light, taking threes when you have a player advantage on a fast break, being under or right next to the basket and passing it to a mediocre shooter at the line instead of a layup, etc.....

If you do not have the type of players that can shoot like Curry or have a team like the Warriors at their peak, then you should not try to emulate them. Playing the game like it is an actual video game is the problem.

-Remove corner three
-Push 3 point line back
-Allow more physicality on the perimeter
-Make that double stepback travel nonsense illegal
I’m an advocate for both ridding the corner three and pushing it back. Only shooter should take the shot. Not all these bums and 6’10+ players.

My only question is what would spacing look like without the corner three? Smart coaches will adjust and get their players in the right spots to score points.
