By n8 dogg Go To PostDon’t see the problem with teams taking lots of 3s. Down to others to try and stop them or make their own.Jokes aside, the corner 3 being almost 2 feet closer and counting the same is stupid. I can shoot the corner three pretty much flat footed if I want to, everywhere else I have to jump.

By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostYou're not missing much, Ace gonna eat well again, he playing like Wemby Bertans, whole lot of threes against a tiny team.Not wishing on his downfall or anything, just feels like he should at least watch young KG clips if he doesn't want to be a pivot on offense.
He is so crazy on D so maybe it doesn't matter
Harden has had three of those tonight. Refs call all sorts of tacky shit on shots but let people set moving screens everywhere

Butler straight up fouled on the dunk at the end of regulation, yet Harden is the one who gets all the FTs

Yes, I was as shocked as you
By reilo Go To PostGuys I don't think you heard me: get rid of the Celtics and Lakers to save the NBA
Banish the Lakers back to Minnesota and send the Celtics to… Ireland maybe?
Wolves can be the new Seattle team 😂

We need to stop the lie that AD is a DPOY-caliber player
He has been very bad this season.
Fox is a madman. Really hard to watch this quarter for the Nets where no one seems interested in generating good offense.
By DY_nasty Go To Postthe kings actually suck
The GM is allergic to signing or drafting anyone over 6'5" that can defend.
By DY_nasty Go To Postthe kings actually suck
Fox is genuinely putting together an All-NBA season. The team is only missing Monk. They should be good.

"JJ REDICK IS WORSE THAN DARVIN HAM"
oh this is gonna be a banger
These videos are always kinda funny, but in an era where guys barely practice how much of this is on coaching vs players not understanding basic defensive principles? Most of this Lakers rotation is intimately familiar with the Nuggets personnel and schemes.

By reilo Go To PostThe only time in recent memory a Pel has returned from injury ahead of schedule.
Jesus christ, if the Sixers pick is outside the top 6 the Thunder get it. They also get the Clippers pick.

By reilo Go To PostThat's ridiculous no homo
That's IT?? What a joke lol
By domino Go To Postthats wild FVV got less than Lamelo and no suspensionNot his first offense either

Dude should have at least copped a 1 game suspension for that. At least I got to watch the whole team melt down on TV when the refs got sick of their shit.
My second favorite part of the game was Dillon Brooks doing a wrestling practice flop and ensuing temper tantrum because Toumani was in his shirt.
My least favorite part is Clingan being out for a bit with a sprained knee though.

Liked this story. Not sure the idea of a 4 point line as discussed in the article is the answer. Kelly Dwyer suggested capping three point attempts at 33 per game which is simpler and makes sense - you don't want bad shooters taking them then. I like it in theory but not sure it would work.
The only real answer is to get guys shooting 60%+ on mid range jump shots so it's no longer mathematically beneficial to shoot threes so much. You could also remove offensive three seconds and let people just camp in the paint, or do an inverse illegal defense where you can't play more than 3 players out or something.
I still think removing the corner 3 and being more stringent on rules enforcement of illegal screens around the 3pt line would give defenses enough help to ugly the game up a bit more while also not adding even more burden of officials to screw things up.
A lot of these other rule changes I’ve seen proposed still wouldn’t change any kind of shot dessert; they would just exacerbate the issue and we would see guys flinging themselves into rim defenders even more often in order to draw fouls.

Yea, corner 3 removal seems to be the most straight forward way of impacting it for now without relying on too much craziness.
Offensive 3s should be increased to help bring back post-scoring. Getting good position, receiving a pass, and scoring off that pass in 3s is dumb, even if in reality refs mostly call it around 5s. It's still too high of a bar.
