Has the NBA become a glorified 3 point contest?

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

If you're saying the Cavs haven't had beautiful ball movement in the past 3 games, you're dumber than I thought you were.

Cavs are one of the worst teams in the league to watch. LeBron bull dozing the paint, Kyrie on his 1 on 1, JR jackin up 3's, Kevin Love doin god knows what etc...

I'll give the NBA credit that they're taking these threes because of great ball movement and running plays, but it's causing kids and people down at the courts in pickup games to be chucking all the time

 

[Tookalossfellbackcameback]

In terms of style of play in these playoffs what has stuck out to me the most is the lack of creative and effective half court sets. OKC and Toronto don't even run shyt...it's either ISO's or high PnR's trying to get a mismatch on a switch. Shyt is disgusting to watch. Hawks just chuck 3's from everywhere with everybody. Paul Millsap had Kyrie on a switch last night and instead of posting him decided to face him up and shoot a jumper

shut yo bytch ass up and go watching some highlights on YouTube of good movement with no 3's, get off my lawn ass nikka..

The Cavs are shooting 53% on 3s this series, why would they stop?

Shooting 53% on 3s is like shooting 79.5% on 2s, that efficiency

Cleveland just trying to be more like GS. It will change once they actually play good and competent competition

When was the last time you watched the Cavs? Their ball movement has been excellent these playoffs.

So the second best defense in the league (ATL) isn't "good and competent"?

I guess if they were facing juggernauts like Houston and Portland, they wouldn't be playing as well?

People find anything to complain about

As if 1998 Knicks Heat games with 70-80 points scored were entertaining...

Or people enjoyed when the Pistons were holding teams to 70 points.

People will always complain and then look back on things from the past with a mythological view.

people did enjoy the pistons holding teams under 70

nikka I don't give a shyt about they stats or what they did in the regular season, I know what they do in the fukking playoffs in the Leastern conference at that.

Atl can't close out games and don't have a go to option for shyt and have been an overall mediocre team in the playoffs forever.

Don't sit here and act like Cleveland is out here playing with the big boys because unfortunately, most of them are out West.

And Houston and Portland >>>> most of the east

It's no secret how Cleveland... Or Lebron I should say, always end up in the finals.. Stack your team with Allstars in the East and you MIGHT beat the west 2 out of 6 times

So do you think Houston and Portland are better than Detroit and ATL?

Houston was the worst team in the playoffs.
