More than 40% of total shots are 3pt attempts for the first time in NBA history

We won by 20. I loved it.

I dont want to see Sam Hauser taking 10 3s on my tv.

True....

33.5% on 100 shots from 3 = 100.5 pts

50% on 100 shots from 2 = 100 pts

You can be "meh" on 3's and still be better than an actually good shooter who lives inside the arc.

AND THATS JUST UGLY
fukkING BASKETBALL...

REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANALYTICS SAYS
NO ONE WANTS TO WATCH A TEAM
MISS 67% OF THEIR SHOTS
EVEN IF IT RESULTS IN MORE PTS.

3’s have made the game unwatchable

i'm a spurs fan, but for years the media convinced everyone that spurs basketall was "boring". I remember 2 Chains being on ESPN with stephen A smith talking about how boring the spurs were because we were a passing/jump shooting team. A few years after that the Warriors became popular by doing nothing but shooting 3s and playing like we had been the entire time and THEN jump shooting became "exciting'.

3 point shooting would NOT be a effective if the league starts enforcing moving screens. Right now, the Warriors will commit no less than 25 moving screen violations each game, but maybe 1 or 2 are ever called. It is impossible to guard 3 point shooting when you're allowed to grab a defender move him with you, stick your hip out or just straight up block him like you're protecting a qb. The league knows this and it's bullshyt.

Every team plays the same style of basketball.

Yup, no distinguishing styles of play between teams anymore

This 3 ball shyt is only gonna get worse

As a hooper myself who's always thrived in the mid range, it kills me to see teams pass up wide open middy's to force 3's

I also think we’re just getting older and falling out of love with the sport. It happens with entertainment

I thought the same thing yesterday. I was liking “is this ass or am I just getting older?”

d'antoni and kerr ruined the game

 

[Supa]

Analytics turned the game into glorified 3 point contests.

Everyone basically plays like the Rockets when it was either 3s and layups. No midrange. All these foul merchants don't make it watchable either.

meme ball is destroyed by a dominant big though

lets not mention the last time a dominant big defeated meme ball

someone might disappear for two years hiding again
