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

[PatCake]

True that the product is not very watchable right now. It's just a bunch dudes shooting 70 threes every game.

 

[Gritsngravy]

shooting over team defense is what it's all about now

the era of hero ball 1v1 matchups gave more highlights

space for the perimeter & post

One of these defensive coaches need to earn they money and come up with some revolutionary way to defend three’s

Something needs to catchup, I doubt they tweak the rules too much

rule changes have the most impact

won't see anything change much otherwise

Yeah, NBA is going to have to change something. Teams have "solved" this version of basketball and the public doesn't seem to keen on it.

Wemby, Ant or any kind of star power won't solve this. It's a problem with the game/rules itself.

This guy pretty much described it very well. It's ironic that foreigners/international fans are finding it boring.


I think it's crazy that Embiid is averaging nearly 35 points per game, but has less than 20 dunks on the season - as a center.

Found the solution...make the court move like them arcade jawns

That way they have no other choice, but to dunk or play D because the hoop is moving away from sweet spots.

 

[JoelB]

Sixers fans dont have this problem...

 

[Malcolmxxx_23]

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.

All yall do is bytch about the NBA. Stop fukking watching the game for good and go outside or find some friends

Tbh I didn’t even watch this game

 

[itsyoung!!]

13-35 for 3, Would beat a team going 19-35 from 2

going 19-35 from 2 is easier than going 13-35 from 3..

this is YMCA league right now

 

[MJ Truth]

Is it any worse than the iso your best player on one side of the floor for the whole game like we saw spammed throughout the 90s and 2000s?

 

[Greenhornet]

nikkas been soft and traveling

I miss the physical game, where guards didnt go into the paint without being touched up

Yeah this is garbage. For the most part every team is trying to score the same way, any differences are minute and require in depth analysis to display. It’s simply not entertaining.

You can only watch pick and roll / drive and kick for corner 3 for so long. The NBA needs to figure something out. MLB saw the shift and slow pace was hurting their game so they started experimenting in how to improve it years ago. Now they are working on the strike zone problem.

I no longer watch regular season NBA games, I just listen to NBA radio in the car to hear the discussions.

 

[gtj1982]

They nba has a problem with all these national tv games being blow outs

I be legit watching these shyts and a Pistons-Celtics game on LP ends up the best game of the night

It’s because the game is basically gambling. Just shoot 3s and hope you make them. It’s why games start to snowball real quick if one team starts to miss. They don’t adjust and take higher percentage shots or try to get to the FT line. The just keep putting money down on the 3 ball
