I think each team should get their own ball and both sides constantly have one and they just keep trying to score as many points as possible

What annoys me the most is the losing team jacking up 3s

You would think they would use common sense and drive to the basket knowing how easy it is to get fouls these days

So in turn you will in some cases have a chance for 3pts ..

Also tally up the foul count in the opposing player

Which in turn could make the coach pull out that player if the foul count gets too high too soon

The Bermuda Triangle
:ohhh:

Unless it’s the Playoffs or some max 1-2 min highlights I have absolutely 0 motivation to watch NBA basketball. Glorified 3-point contests.

Thanks Steph/Klay (3s) and Harden (step backs)
I know it was bad when most of the 14 year olds on my sons team only watch the highlights on TikTok and YT.

To your point about the Bermuda Triangle, I am sure there has to be some coach out there that can draft a scheme where they station defensive players with longer wingspans to close out on shooters in the corners and play the slashers cutting towards the basket.

I am no coach or anything like that but I’m thinking couldn’t a coach come up with a scheme where players in the backcourt play m2m and the front court players are in a zone?

I have to agree. I saw the score at half time and swore it was the end of the 3rd quarter. It's like Charles said, it feels like they are just having a 3pt contest:hhh:

Some players cant survive/score without the 3 ball and are carried by how the game is played today:sas2:. You had players earlier this week posting up 21 shots, with 14 of them being 3's:scust:

I still like watching basketball but I kinda agree with this assessment. I’ll admit I don’t like big men shooting 3’s at all.

I really only watch my team’s games tho so... :manny:

So how does this keep evolving? Are we headed towards a place where 60...70...80% of shots are 3s?

Didn't the Flopden Rockets have a game where more than half the shots they attempted were threes? My new thing now is counting how many consecutive possessions end in 3 point shots (both teams). Dont remember the game but the most I seen since I started was 7 straight possessions :scust::francis::mjlol:
