Adam Silver says the NBA has heard the critiques and is looking into fixing the 3 point volumes

That's because there was never a problem to begin with, folks just talked themselves into it being a problem because it's a deviation the product they grew up on.If you referee all season like you do the playoffs, all of this stuff fixes itselfI haven’t noticed the 3 problem at all
It's okay not to like that.
But that doesn't mean there's an issue with the game.

Must be all those changes that Adam made to the 3-pt shot volumes.
They playing physical defense. People like this style of basketball

I think the way Boston plays specifically and some other stupid teams play is really hard to watch.

Nah it's definitely star power and good matchups.
Luka/Lebron and the Lakers themselves already bring in tons of viewership. I wouldn't be surprised if they account for majority of the views.

Matches what my eyes see. The defense that dudes are allowed to play in the playoffs decreases 3pt volume

We saw a decrease in 3 point attempts second half of last year when the refs swallowed their whistles more. That's why I think allowing more physicality at the point of attack is the solution to decreasing 3 point attempts if the league really wants to do it. With that said for most teams they are still shooting a similar number of 3s compared to the regular season. Add in a small sample size and that there has been so many blow outs it's really not a good data set to use. Add in with better defense comes longer possessions which leads to less possessions per game and you can't really say there is any correlation to 3 point attempts and these playoff ratings.Matches what my eyes see.

OKC's 3-pt volume has increased in the playoffs
Heat's 3-pt volume has increased in the playoffs
Lakers 3-pt volume has increased in the playoffs
Bucks 3-pt volume has increased in the playoffs
Pacers 3-pt volume has increased in the playoffs.
The number of 3s teams are taking are really no different to the regular season.
Keep in mind, we're only 4-5 games into the postseason, so you can't really take anything meaningful out of 3-pt volume.
Furthermore, the Cavs' offense has arguably been the most entertaining to watch over the 1st round, and they've averaged considerably more 3s than any other team in the playoffs. Ain't nobody coming away from Cavs games complaining about how their games are boring, or killing the product or any of that other shyt.
I'll add also -
The more the regular season went on, the less complaints there were about the 3-pt shot. The discourse became more about enjoying the games. Guess what- the 3-pt volume didn't change. I don't know, it's almost like the 3-pt shot isn't as bad as y'all make it out to be.

They were playing physical defense last playoffs.
How come y'all quicky forgot about that and then just jumped to the conclusion NBA was dying this season, but now the NBA is alive again in the playoffs? What happened to all those arguments about the NBA being soft now?
I take it the league isn't soft anymore?
I swear y'all have so many agendas going on at once y'all forget what y'all running.

Admittedly, I’ve only watched the laker games from that list of teams so I can’t speak to them. The 3pt thing is an issue with regular season Boston and teams that mimic them, for me. It’s spam and I don’t like watching it. Boston is the extreme. Allowing physical defense alone has made the games I’ve seen a lot more enjoyable than the regular season, which is probably more important than shot selection.Cavs 3-pt volume has increased in the playoffs

This and the altercations also contribute to how hard the fans are going for their teams.
Mfers better understand that the pushing and shoving stems from passion. Passion is a visible thing. People can see your passion for something. Just like y'all see my passion for shytting on @Gil Scott-Heroin even when I agree with that hoe ass nikka. Dude is a VERY smart fan about b ball. Definitely a mixed race or completely white dude, but fukk all that race shyt. He's just a bytch at times. But also, educated as hell about basketball. But still a bytch like 67% of the time.
Y'all other nikkas are my mans and nem doe.
