Subtracting a point per miss to solve NBA three point dilemma

This obsession this place has with finding ways to artificially reduce scoring by simply kneecapping the offense in completely arbitrary ways makes no sense at all. There’s no upside to mandating teams not be allowed to shoot a certain number of 3’s or that certain positions shouldn’t be allowed to shoot them. Forcing the game to remain as it was from the mid 90’s to the late 2000’s when half the players could barely dribble, pass, or shoot and when half the big men couldn’t do any of those things at all wouldn’t draw more fans to the product.

Everyone thinks things were better when they were younger.
But almost always just nostalgia. They were young. That's what they enjoyed. That's gone now, and they're just afraid to admit that it sucks to lose that.

People got enjoyment out of the NBA in 1995. But they also got enjoyment out of the NBA in 2015. And in 1985. There no such thing as this magical window where everything was perfect and one day it was all terrible the way people like to pretend. It's like life. You think being 17 was the shyt when you're 30. And when you're 67 you're gonna think being 30 was great.

All this stuff is evolving, constantly.

The current NBA game isn't perfect and things will change. I'm sure at some point 3 point shooting might come down. And if it does, people will find some new trend in the NBA to complain about. I have zero doubts about that.

I would like to see this idea once for fun, Adam Silver is so desperate to fix NBA Allstar that he might just come across this thread when googling how to fix it. Hope he uses it.

Can we start with admitting that subtracting points is an awful idea by itself in any team sport???

So if you shoot 50 percent from three and go five of ten. That would be 5x3 which is 15 minus the five missed shots which make it ten points.

And if you shoot 5 of 10 from mid range or the rim. It's also ten points?

Go full Rock and Jock.

10 points if you call for the black basketball and shoot it on the 30-foot rim and it falls through all three baskets.

Every "solution" you guys have for three point shooting is always the stupidest fukking idea I've ever heard.

 

[Tres Leches]

this is terrible

He would average 50 a game.

Might be the best idea. The game would balance out, big men would be back. The rim challenges would be crazy.

You might be on to something.

Kinda like this. But don't penalize defenders for trying to block em either by giving them flagrants cause the cat trying to dunk falls hard

Are yall serious?

I know this a troll thread but we dont need a gimmick to fix a problem common sense can solve

Maybe pushing the line out further.
