Ok,

How do you alter 3 point shooting volume?
That's the thing. The people who don't like this shooting haven't been able to articulate a plan to disincentivize it.
my hare brained idea is awarding 3 free throws to teams in the bonus but only in the fourth quarter . not a perfect solution as itd promote flopping and slow games to a crawl, but itd incentivize players to drive or post up in the 4th

Dylan Harper is your prototypical 6'5" guard and he's been sidelined for a couple of weeks with a calf strain. Ja 6'2" and he just strained his. All this " body type" talk in this thread and nikkas of all shapes and sizes are dropping like flies with soft tissue injuries. The way the game is being played today is too taxing.

Strongest case for altering 3 point volume, would solve the load management issue at it's core. Seems like Silver would rather keep his head in the sand on it and pass the buck to the next commish than be the one to take the radical approach.


That chart is crazy :ohhh: :ohhh: :ohhh:

I'll be the old man yelling at the clouds but I don't think guys are conditioned properly nor or they toughening up their bodies for the grind. Everything now is in the name of preventative care and doing less.

Your hands won't get tough holding pearls but they will if you're moving rocks.

Everyone bytched about Thibs but the Knicks were incredibly durable last season. OG played the most games of his career; Josh Hart became an ironman under Thibs; KAT played most of their games. Now, OG and Brunson are already injured.

SGA and Ant rarely miss games. Jaden McDaniels is always available; Jokic, Gobert and Sengun don't suffer major injuries. Harden's looked flabby for 15 years but he never suffers major injuries. Zubac and Dillon Brooks don't miss many games. What are these guys doing differently than the rest?

EXACTLY....

THESE DUDES DONT EVEN
PRACTICE ANYMORE DURING THE WEEK.

LETS JUST TAKE IT EASY
ALL THE TIME THEN THINK
WE CAN TURN UP AND GO HARD
DURING THE REAL GAMES.

THE OLD SCHOOL FORMULA WAS ALWAYS
TO PRACTICE HARDER THAN YOU
PLAY IN REAL GAMES
SO THE REAL GAMES BECOME EASY
:devil:
:evil:

Detroit You bytch Ass nikka
Him and Zion are freakishly built. Unfortunately playing at a high level without injury will be difficult
It's crazy how @Gil Scott-Heroin hating on others and laughing at the injuries of players always comes back to bite that fakkit in the ass. Adam Silver is basically I.T. right now in the form of a pencil. The eraser head on that nikka body just bit @Gil Scott-Heroin. Wish he ate that fakkit whole and made him float in a Texas sewer

This is why I miss the 2005 to 2015 NBA era. It was a balance of post play, mid range, fastbreak offense, and 3 point shooting. Most of the 3 pointers were more timely shots instead of just mindless jacking up of 3 pointers. Most of the defense was centered around chasing someone off screens, guarding the baseline, post defense, defending ISO plays at the top of the key, the elbow, etc. Nowadays the coverage you need to defend someone who is 25+ feet from the basket is insane

After 2015, the game just went bozo with "pace and space" playing style

I'm not sure there's a guaranteed one step fix-it but you can't tackle a problem unless you try. Easiest first step is to cut out the corners and make the 3 point line a true arc, let that play out for a season or two and determine how radical you need to get from there.

Wasn't the same injury that led to Haliburton tearing his achilles, if so, sit his ass down. That shyt is time bomb waiting to blow.

Same as KD, but alot of dudes have it even luka did. It's what kept him out when he was traded to the lakers
