Sean Mooney 1,950 Posted October 24, 2024 They should institute a 4 pointer, 5 pointer, and hang a peach basket way above the net for 25 points. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herbivore 1,118 Posted October 24, 2024 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So..no defense. What's the point? Just have a 3 point shooting contest between the teams and let that be the decider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean Mooney 1,950 Posted October 24, 2024 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MLCKAA 550 Posted October 24, 2024 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BufordT 429 Posted October 24, 2024 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
