I like the abundance of 3's. Why take a long 2, when you can step back and get an extra point behind the line? It just makes sense. Creates more spacing than where was twenty years ago when they took half as many attempts.
To me, the bigger issue in the game is defenders not being allowed to hand check and how every little thing is a foul.
Twenty years ago is also when hand checking was outlawed, coincidentally.
I'd like to see a blending of the two eras. You'd likely still have more scoring, but the defense will definitely not be as atrocious as most of it is nowadays.www.myspace.com0 -
Well yeah, with the rules being what they are it totally makes sense that teams shoot a ton of 3's. That's why I say make it harder to change the calculus, and you'll see more shooting all over the floor.Spectrum 10/27/09; New Orleans JazzFest 5/1/10; Made in America 9/2/12; Phila, PA 10/21/13; Phila, PA 10/22/13; Baltimore Arena 10/27/13; Phila, PA 4/28/16; Phila, PA 4/29/16; Fenway Park 8/7/16; Fenway Park 9/2/18; Asbury Park 9/18/21; Camden 9/14/22; Las Vegas 5/16/24; Las Vegas 5/18/24; Phila, PA 9/7/24; Phila, PA 9/9/24; Baltimore Arena 9/12/24; Pittsburgh 5/16/25; Pittsburgh 5/18/25

I wouldn't mind the NBA getting rid of it TBH. a lot of the play is boring as hell. Zero ball movement and spot shooters waiting to let it fly... and he missed. Again...
Just out of curiosity, what is your take on it? Seriously.The Juggler said:I like the abundance of 3's. Why take a long 2, when you can step back and get an extra point behind the line? It just makes sense. Creates more spacing than where was twenty years ago when they took half as many attempts.

I know I'm on the outskirts but I love seeing good D. I love a nice rejection and I love a good steal and a breakaway score...
Hand Check yes.
What about widening the court? Too extreme? I thought about moving the 3 back too and no side shots but I think the straight away 3's are easier.0 -
Watched the Lakers game last night against Dallas.
The Lakers can play amazing some times, last night was one of them. Healthy they are good. I know they will never be 100% healthy come playoff time...0 -
Who doesn't enjoy good defense though? ...other than David Silver?

the last great D played in league was prob the 2005 Finals Spurs/Pistons, Game 7, 81-74
Spurs reached 102 pts in one game.....everything else under 100
I still watch hoops, but I miss old school days....0 -

Back in the 80's and early 90's teams still played better D but scoring averages were close to where they are now...
