Hopefully the midrange game returns next season

But but but the game evolved its so much better today

I feel like this jump shooting style of basketball has jumped the shark. The last 3 games of each conference finals was some of the worst product I've seen at this level ever. Nothing changes until the warriors are dethroned tho. They give this style credence.

Mid range is a lost art. I remember cats saying a few years ago that the mid range was stupid and pointless

This is basketball, not an art exhibition. Taking 3s and shots in the paint is inherently better than taking mid-range shots.

Except when these nikkas miss like thirty 3's in a row. Then it turns into a trash exhibition when they got no other shot to revert back to.

90's Utah jazz, 2001 sixers, 90's Sonics....teams that couldn't win in their time would hurt these frail fakkit 3 dependant teams

That's why they've should attacked the paint more. Taking mid-range shots when they're out of rhythm ain't gonna do shyt, especially since it'll shrink the floor, giving the Warriors defenders more chance to rotate over and contest shots.

Those teams didn't bother to guard the 3-pt line on the regular, by the time they'd actually adjust to defending the 3-pt shot, it would be too late.

Ain't gonna do shyt but go in nikka. When you cant drive or hit the 3 point.....WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO

Adjust to what nikka, the 3 is the lowest % shot on the court

Fail basic math, brehs.

See, that's the difference, not only did I play ball, but I acknowledge that it's a game ruled by #s - not ruled by tradition and empty aesthetics.

 

[BrothaZay]

if you wanna play the 'what if' dumb game, if they were shooting 2s instead of 3s they probably wouldnt make it to the conference finals altogether. harden's and cp3s threes are a huge part of their arsenal.

Are you an idiot?

 

[Reality]

7 for 44.

All that math has to go out the window, and common sense has to kick in at some point. There's no justifying missing 37 threes.

Exactly. Yeah, the math is the math, but goddamn these are humans too. If you're seeing your squad go cold make a fukking adjustment. Don't act like they can't psyche themselves out. The probabilities associated with the 3 aren't independent of players' mind states. Confidence affects your J.

So assuming the rockets took 27 2pointers in a row and made half they win this game correct? They took and missed 27 3s and lost by 9

nikkaz gonna be like
