Houston Rockets scored 140 points tonight with ZERO midrange shots made.

It's a risk vs reward thing. I never said anything about all the teams playing the same. The problem is that per 85 shots the 3 pointer should not be a better option than a 2 point shot and that is where we are at right now.

Where do you get this "should" from?

We've seen this story a million times. These guys are gonna get exposed in the playoffs.

The reason the Rockets won't win a 'ship this year isn't because of Moreyball.... It's because the team consists of James Harden and a bunch of role players.

Pringles is maximizing the talent on that squad.. No way should they have the 4th best record in the league with that roster.

Are you serious or just trolling? Why do you think there is a growing backlash at the way the game is currently being played?

How on earth is asking people to take 2 point shots over time less beneficial than taking the same amount of 3 point shots over the course of a game? That is what the stats are showing and why you are seeing the game being played the way it is. Look at that shot chart breh, damn near 60% of the area is useless

Scoring more is not exactly always a benefit to the league and my guess is that in a few years serious discussions about moving the 3 point line back will really start to take shape.

 

[Dwight Howard]

we've seen this story before, Rockets will flop in the playoffs like every other D'anotni led team..yawn

it ain't enough til they touch 200 like the 80s back*

If you look at the all time 3 point attempts in a season,


Curry started this video game trend.


Dude took like 600 and 700 three pointers in a season when the legends was topping out at like 450 or so


To a certain extent Lebron started this stat watching shyt, always needing that 27 7 and 7

 

[Donald Trumps Twitter]

Kobe didn't watch his rebounds, or assists or points.


He went out and tried to the win the game by putting up shots

Where is this backlash? The metrics that make this ideal in the NBA don't necessarily apply to lower levels of the game.

What does it matter to you, a viewer, whether a jumpshot is taken from 24 feet or 18 feet?

I have no hate for the Rockets but lets be real... if you can't play defense and get stops at a high level deep in the playoffs, there's no way you're going to compete. And the Rockets seem totally uninterested in defense. I hope D'antoni has a surprise for us

You didn't answer the question.How is all teams taking more 2s "beneficial"?

You are starting to become one of my favorite posters, the way you can insert LeBron hate and utter alternative facts into any thread topic is uncanny, terribly sad but uncanny
