70 percent of the nba game is decided by which team shoots better from the 3 ……

37% from 3 is slightly above average

The 3-pointer is why the Mavs went up 16 to begin with.

Booker going crazy is the biggest reason the Suns ram away with the game

I remember when teams had different styles of play. Some were a jump shooting finesse team, some were a physical defensive orientated team etc

It was fun to watch those style vs style matchups. Now it's all the same and it's boring.



Bob Costas pointed out the difference between slower defense oriented Eastern Conference teams and fast pace Western Conference teams here.

It’s a bad product in the regular season for most games. Guys firing up 3s and pick and roll every play. The Clippers have guys who at least shoot mid range and work the mid post area so the game is easier to watch.

Go figure they lead the league in 3-point shooting, but their games rarely look like 3-point chucking rec ball like the majority of the league.

Silver likes the LeGBT basketball so it’s going to look like this for the foreseeable future.

3s and pick and roll every play
Plus lack of defence

The Suns made 14 threes. The Mavs made 17 threes. The Suns won by 23 points.

This is what happens when you watch a sport that you don’t understand.

Considering who the OP is there's a strong chance he wasn't even watching, just looked at the box score and saw the Mavs were down big and had a lot of 3PA

Booker was putting on a mid range clinic that whole 2nd half
