Subtracting a point per miss to solve NBA three point dilemma

[BBG]

Simple math suggest over time the higher percentage 2s would produce more points than 3s, no? The problem I see is it would on average probably take longer than 48 minutes for 2s shot at say 50% to produce more points than 3s shot at 33%.


However this leads to other beneficial results. Big men cooking in the paint at 65%+ around the rim are now valued much more than today because a team eating BBQ chicken all day could wash a team of average 3 point shooters when you account for the -1 for misses. Everybody ain't Steph Curry, so them bum ass 33% shooters gonna cripple their team out there chucking some bullshyt.

Teams will require a legit defensive big, thereby limiting this 5 out nonsense, very rarely will you see a Joel Embiid type who could do both when motivated.


I can't be the first to think of this so somebody come in here and tell me why this idea has already been proven to be garbage, thanks brehs


Oh by the way FREE throws don't -1 for misses, because they are free fukkin throws. You don't get to foul me making me miss my gimmie AND potentially TAKE AWAY points from me


EDIT: I'm an idiot for making this right in the middle of the divisional round of NFL playoffs lol 'll bump tomorrow

Monday bump I don't see the downside of subtracting points for misses.

 

[god shamgod]

Great idea , so when these wakk nba teams going 9-47 spamming 3 ‘s they’ll lose 38 points on the scoreboard

Which should discourage them , fukk the nba still wouldn’t watch

I'd love it.

Simple: then not even Steph will shoot them since even he misses more than he makes.

Reminds me of my idea to make every 3 pointer made in a quarter worth 2 if the team as a whole shoots less than league average for the quarter

Make the rims shorter so more people can dunk! People need to be entertained!!!

Not so simple: do the math (ironic coming from me since I haven't actually done it myself), Steph would still average more points than a solid 2 point shooter because he still shoots at such a high clip. Remember the 2 point shooter also gets -1 for his misses as well, nikkas ain't shooting 70% middys. I'm confident the math would show he amongst the other elites will still shoot plenty because of the analytics, however they too will be a bit more mindful with their shot selection and the bums will be treated like it's the 90s and not shoot them at all.

Far too complicated and kinda silly if you ask me. -1 just seems too simple like it will almost certainly become an official rule sooner than later if they don't figure out another fix to this issue.

Hey peanut brain, this nonsense doesn't apply. It'd be different if I said move the 3 point line back you queer, I'm suggesting a rule that would be fair across the board..unless you have a legitimate reason why it wouldn't be. If so feel free to share.

I'd be OK with subtracting a point for missing 3's.

Maybe even let a team get up to 5 misses per game without a penalty and then on your 6th missed 3, start subtracting a point for every subsequent miss.

The penalty wouldn't apply in the last 2 minutes of a half (2nd & 4th quarter).

This would force teams to strategize on WHEN to shoot from deep. Promotes more offensive creativity and it discourages deep chucking from dudes that can't shoot off the dribble or create a shot in the midrange.

No.

This is handicapping the shooters too much and is why you got asshats making jokes about lowering the rim. The -1 needs to apply to EVERY MISSED SHOT excluding free throws. 2s are made at a much higher rate on average (taking into account shots around the rim as well) so the -1 penalizes the chuckers just enough to where it doesn't alter the game too much, just makes for better shot selection overall (I would think)

bulls and hornets final score finna be 2 - 6

Calling good three point shooting a “dilemma” is a bit dramatic

Make the NBA better by making final scores 75-63 brehs

It’d be less complicated to just stop watching

Okay, so if the three point shooting is "good" then how would implementing -1 hurt the game?

Make the NBA better by making final scores 75-63 brehs

Why would that matter? Are you saying games with final scores of 217-198 would be more entertaining? Y'all just be posting sht for daps I'm out here trying to fix the NBA for casual fans brother

Not a single post successfully explaining why this is a bad idea. Maybe I am a genius I look forward to bumping this thread in a few years and doing my victory lap
