Never thought I’d actually miss David Stern. Always thought it wouldn’t matter who the commissioner is. I was way wrong.
The unfortunate reality is that the best way to win basketball games is not a version of basketball that many people enjoy watching.
You cannot win in the current NBA unless you shoot a lot of three pointers with a percentage of at least 35%.
Shooting threes at 35% is equivalent to shooting 2's at 52.5%. This doesn't necessarily require a team to jack up 50 threes per game, but if you have the personnel to be able to shoot a high volume of threes with a percentage of 35%, then you MUST do it . If you don't have the personnel to be able to do that…then go ahead and shoot mostly 2-pointers at a percentage of 50% and we will see you miss the playoffs.
The best current example is the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs have the best:
a) FG % overall (50.4%)
b) FG % from three (39.9%)
c) FG % from two (58.7%)
The Cavs have the personnel to defeat you inside or outside and, as result, they don't have to hoist up a Boston-level amount of threes because they are also extremely efficient with two point shots. They are scoring almost as many points per shot from two (1.17) as they are from three (1.20). For perspective, the 2015-16 Warriors had 1.25 points per three point attempt and 0.97 points per 2 point attempt
The NBA needs to be more physical. Stop taking too many 3s. People watch football because of physicality and fighting, not the weak NBA league
Gotta love seeing the bulls on national tv best team in the league baby
Crazy how they want nba players to not play basketball
Like how kenny said we cant shoot that many threes straight hating but ignoring the fact that weve won 3 straight lol
Steph ruined the game. Plain and simple
There are 100 reasons but to sum it up into one thing: Adam Silver. It all trickles down from the top. We need someone like Dana White to takeover and cut out all the bullshit. Bring back hard defense, fix the ref issues, allow players to talk trash, take out wokeness, punish load management, etc.
Charles has a 26.6% career 3-point percentage and Shaq shot a career total of 22 3-pointers with a 4.5% percentage so they know what they are talking about.
The incessant media coverage of Lebron, and the tired GOAT debate checked me out a few years back.
Sad I don't wacth no more, Sad Generation of NBA players. Rjbrother
Charles Barkley is right. Rjbrother
It’s kinda funny years ago they complained u not shooting enough threes and even had players removed out the league cuz they couldn’t shoot 3’s especially a lot of big men
Let them play defense again
I miss the 90s
In the 80s they were scoring 120 points a game without the 3s and defenses.
“Take away the 3pt line”
Maybe put a cap on the amount of threes per quarter. Like 6. Every shot after that counts as two.
Thank You , I thought I was the only one noticed that memphis was running a system
The players are why ratings are down. Nothing but a bunch of dorks nobody wants to watch. You don't have solid teams like the 90s and 2000s anymore
My biggest problem is women refereeing and commenting on mens sport. I mean its just annoying, like we dont listed to it all day at work or at home, at the end of the day i just wanna relax without doris burke gushing over lebron all the time. or some chick who can barely run refereeing while on a ego trip.
The way most NBA games are played now amongst teams are generally a full out perimeter offense war with each other. Whichever team can manage to have the best 3 point run ultimately wins the game. I think there is a lack of diversity in which teams are scoring these days and viewers are just tired of watching every team chuck up 3s on most drives.
Combined that with load management and there is definitely a strong lack of appeal in todays NBA
Just my opinion 🙏
BRING BACK HAND CHECKING
I don't want to work on back to back days, but I'm not a millionaire with a contract.
Betting lines need to start making lines or o/u 3s and FTs … That's all the game has become.
Nba and nfl are a joke
Steph ruined the game
Kenny: “There’s no way Chicago should be taking that many threes”. After the Bulls just beat the NBA champs at Boston. ??
Case in point. Lamelo took:
18 3s and made only 3
Took 32 shots and only had 34pts
Took 10 FTs, made 9
How on earth OVER half of your attempts are 3s and you still get 10 FTs??
Lamelo, is in fact, NOT LIKE THAT.
