NBA needs to eliminate the three pointer

Recommended Posts

Blame Steph and Golden State for cracking the code. I don’t mind but regular season NBA can be pretty rough to watch.

i love the nba. if they do change anything right now, its make the court bigger, push out the 3 line. someday they might need to raise the hoop.

MLB needs to get rid of the home run

If there were dozens of homeruns a game, I agree, something should be done.

The NBA is stupid now.  March down the court, chuck a 3 pointer(at less than 50% by the way) then meander down to the other end, play no defense, and watch the other team chuck a three(at less that 50%)

Dumb dumb dumb

Celtics shot  61 three pointers in their opener.  Who watches this stuff anymore?

 

Celtics scored 132 points in that game.   So..no defense.  What's the point?  Just have a 3 point shooting contest between the teams and let that be the decider.

You should also be able to penalize the other team by having them play blindfolded for like 2 minutes of the game at whatever point you choose. Down 15 and they get a foul you can either shoot 2 or they play blindfolded for 2 minutes. 

Also, if a guy makes three shots in a row without the other team making a shot the basketball should be set on fire as they play.

I wasn’t serious about baseball. I do agree that it’s boring to watch teams sitting along the 3 point line . Maybe tweaking things like limiting how many can be outside the line or pushing the line back some etc

Ok good.  Thought you were serious.  I get the league wants offense and scoring. Defense is boring to the average fan.  But to me its way more exciting to see an alley-oop dunk--or any kind of dunk really, especially if it's over another player...than a kick out to the line...for another three point attempt

imo, one the things people get wrong when complaining about the current NBA is that there is no defense, when the D is the best its ever been. You do get a lot of drives and pick and roll, leading to takes, oops, and kickouts. You don't get a lot of drop it into the post and back to the basket play, cause the D is too good, doubles and such, it leads to kick outs. A nice part about that is all the passing. Current NBA is better team ball, both O and D, than it has been in a long time.

I disagree 100% about the D being better.  It hasn't been good for 20 years.

agree to disagree. one thing on that front that should improve is some of the foul calls. the refs need some leeway. barely touching shooters arm..not a foul. the landing spot foul when the shooter jumps forward..not a foul. the harden throw yourself into the defender..not a foul.

Unfortunately, the NBA doesn’t see a problem with this.  139 points?  The NBA loves that.  Lots of points doesn’t make it interesting or exciting.

How about this rule change— no 3 point attempts on consecutive possessions.

Or, cap the number of attempts per game.  That would certainly force coaches to gameplan.  Once you get to 20 attempts, everything counts for 2.

If they get rid of the 3 pointer then iso ball will take over. That’s no good either. Also half the whitey’s under 6’10” would cease to exist.

Current NBA is the opposite of better team ball. You flood the floor with shooters. Period. There is zero defense. It's boring

I wonder what you people are watching. Most of the players are known as 3 and D types. The amount of passing to get to open shooters would have Norman Dale creaming in his pants.
