Ah, so I saw Lollard made a 37 footer at the buzzer. I figured it might've been some desperation heave as time ran out. Nope. Ten seconds left on the clock, Lollard isos with a couple lazy dribbles, and then pulls up and drains the shot like an 18 footer. I think we need to move the line back. Skillsets have caught up to the standard distances (except when the Spurs are shooting). The NBA game looks like in' street ball.
Hate away. I know some on here love this .

If you move the line back, the rich will just will get richer. The elite 3-pt. shooter's like Curry, Harden, and Lillard will continue to chuck from long distance. Curry can hit from 40 ft. in his sleep. You would actually be helping Curry because you are for stretching defenses further from the basket.
Meanwhile, the marginal shooters (guys who actually focus on other parts of their game) will be devastated. In the long run, young kids in college and AA will start practicing shooting from longer distance. It won't take long for newer players to adjust. The great shooter's will continue to be great shooters.
Playoff P knows a couple of things:
1) He has size and length on Dame
2) Dame HAS PROVEN he can make that shot
All defensive abilities, yet he lazily let Dame get that shot off
Dame knows:
1) He has made that shot many times before
2) Score was tied. Even if he misses they going OT
I'm glad he made it. Playoff P chose to hitch his wagon to Chuckbrook over Bron. He deserves the consequences. 2nd year in a row he suffered a 1st round exit. He deserves that shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

LMAO at 37 win team fan talking about first round exits.
Fair point. I'd like any solution that gets the league wide average on 3s down to about 25%. The original intention of the shot was to supposed to be a Home run/Hail Mary type play, not a shot you take 40 times a game and one you take from 37 feet out in the playoffs. People are no doubt entertained by this, but I think it goes against the spirit of the team game basketball is supposed to be when isolating yourself for a 37 footer is a "good play." Athletes are catching up to distances/rules in all sports, due to the rise of analytics finding exploits, leading to more focus on training to take advantage of those exploits. Outcome is an unbalanced sport. NBA won't change anything, though. 37 footers are perfect twitterverse highlights.
Yeah terrible move. Lillard is one of those guys that dream of impossible movements. Sometimes he makes it but 99/100 time its a bad play hence why hes been a perenial loser.
I mean Durant is probably an overall better shooters but I never see him take ill advised shots like these.
Its just the new culture wave. Everyone trying to be superhero except for the really best players.
It's just ugly basketball. A soccer comparison for you would be hoofball. That's what the modern NBA looks like to me. Guys basically chucking back and forth (like how they do nothing but play longballs back and forth in hoofball style soccer).
Nah. Hoofball is strategic. Since soccer is the most popular sport in the world by far, the pool of players is significantly more so the discrepency in talent between teams is bigger and in such situations, hoofball is used sometimes and if you have an elite striker and an elite Holding midfielder it can work perfectly both tacticlly and aesthetically.
And hoofball doesnt happen between the same teams in the same game. Soccer is a very dynamic sport, if one is doing direct long pass approaches, the more talented team usually plays a lot more calculated soccer.
These kind of NBA shots are ugly, not strategic and is just flatout heroball. A proper comparison would be a team relying on on one blow bys in soccer. 90% of the time those tend to be awful both strategically and aesthetically because 9/10 it ends up in steals, and you eliminate passing.
Ie. Soccer strettballers
The NBA should anther line. Maybe 3 feet behind the threepoint line. In this line handchecking would be allowed.
Should discourage teams from shooting 90% of their shots from threes without comptely disregarding their improved shooting skill. And also discourage dumb shots.
awful D from george tbh
Or just remove the three-point line.
Just make it a game of winning quarters.
You win the quarter, you get 1 point. If each team wins 2 quarters, you go to overtime. If a team wins the first 3 quarters, the game is over (this would save players bodies over time), and everyone gets to go home early.
It would be 4 mini games within a game. There would be more potential meaningful buzzer beaters because wining every waiter matters. It would be more intense basketball every quarter. Sleeping through thre quarters then turning it on in the fourth would be a thing of the past.
I'm fine with calling out Playoff Pee .. but to be fair ...Playoff P knows a couple of things:
1) He has size and length on Dame
2) Dame HAS PROVEN he can make that shot
All defensive abilities, yet he lazily let Dame get that shot off
Dame knows:
1) He has made that shot many times before
2) Score was tied. Even if he misses they going OT
I'm glad he made it. Playoff P chose to hitch his wagon to Chuckbrook over Bron. He deserves the consequences. 2nd year in a row he suffered a 1st round exit. He deserves that shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!
you don't wanna foul (he had 5 if game goes OT no way they win without PG13)
You don't wanna give up a layup either
If you watch replay from behind but right of shot you can see Dame barely gets it off despite the soft stance initially by George the contest was a bit late, but solid (not great).
But you are right, dame had made that EXACT shot in the first half ...a tough shot PG was right normally a bad shot but when a dude is cookin' like Dame was very makeable
PG should be called out for missing 3 of 4 Ft's with less than 4 mins to go with a turnover.
Russ getting killed but Pg had some blame for that L as well ...

How the is that Paul George's fault?

Yeah, Playoff P regretting that he couldn't have been in the Bahamas a few weeks sooner
I dont blame PG, but Dame made the exact same shot (Same side of the court and almost same distance) in the first half, watch the TNT highlights they pointed it out as wellHow the is that Paul George's fault?

Playoff P has enough clout that unless he Bowls Dame over, I cannot see a ref with big enough balls to call a foul in that situation. Maybe, but unless Joey Crawford was out there.
If anything, they should have blitzed him. They know he ain't afraid to take and hit big shots. I would have blitzed him and shade CJ. I wouldn't let either of them take that shot. Make akentae beat me, but not Dame or CJ.
That's true, but I still say he gave him too much space. He was like, no way in will Dame shoot a 37 footer (they should have blitzed him and made him give up the rock). He must have thought KCP was shooting.
Some people may give Playoff P a pass, but given how he dissed us, I ain't letting it ride
Scouting report. Playoff P obviously didn't read it. Dame takes and makes big shots on the regular.How the is that Paul George's fault?
Dame is one of the streakiest shooters in the world. When he is on, you can't give him all that space. The only person better at these long 3pt bombs is Steph.
Playoff P shoulda known betterPERI
That’s how it should be. The greats dominate. Better than having both teams put up 40-50 threes per game. A scrub who has otherwise nailed the 24 footer shouldn’t have it so easy.
i don’t understand this. If stretching the defense further back is the goal, nothing is preventing teams like the warriors from from running an offense that creates 35 foot shots instead of 25 foot shots. It would overall hurt spacing. Besides the elite, other shooters like green, mckinnie... pj Tuckers of the world WONT attract defenders 35 feet out and teams are no longer terrified of 25 footers as they’re only worth 2You would actually be helping Curry because you are for stretching defenses further from the basket.
If you’re going to be a one trick pony/specialist, you shouldn’t get away with just being decent at it. Nowadays. Marginal 3 point shooter can check in for 15 minutes and launch 5-6 threes, make 2 and call it a night.Meanwhile, the marginal shooters (guys who actually focus on other parts of their game) will be devastated. In the long run, young kids in college and AA will start practicing shooting from longer distance. It won't take long for newer players to adjust. The great shooter's will continue to be great shooters.
