Its a sexier shot that has more effect on a game now than what a thunderous dunk used to have.

I was thinking we need a new sticky--- Briggs Thoughts of the Day
fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate

Briggs- and Bringing this random thought home - I'm wondering if Phil has been watching GS and how their shooting is lights out different from just about every other team out there - and if that partly led Phil to dropping Rambis and going with Hornacek.

BRIGGS needs his own talk show. lol

but yeah I agree, out here in harlem these kids pull up on 3s on 2 vs 1 breaks...smh...its all about the 3 and TURNING AROUND WHILE ITS IN MID AIR

we can only blame steph for this basketball nonsense. lol

Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

3 points is 50% better than 2. Long rebound is effective.
Passing up layups for 3 is demoralizing.
If a player could, take off beyond the three point line, not touch it, and dunk, is it still 3pts.
That's some Teen Wolf shyt, but one day?

You're forgetting the fact that Curry and Thompson are awesome behind the line.

It's 1 more point then you get from a dunk to and that definitely has an effect on the game.

The NBA had a hundred or more other players that were awesome behind the line .. recall the Spurs won the WCF and the FINALS from Steve Kerr 4th qtr 3 ball shooting ...or did u forget the Knicks game that made Reggie Miller a star

The only people excited about a 3 ball shot are people shorter than 5.8 in height

I think 4-pointer is on the way.
They need to draw another line 4 fit from 3-point line.
Then the 3-pointers will became tired and unpopular.

people keep talking about GSW and the 3's but cleveland is taking many more than they do.

Nalod, nobody is silly enough to propose passing up layups and dunks for 3's. 3's open up layups and layups open up 3's. They need to be a team.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

Its all about TS%. Layups, Contested layups and threes, actually. The drawn foul creating the 3 point play opportunity is actually a pretty high TS% play with the added bonus of putting people in foul trouble.

5 points should be for half court and longer shot.
10 point for shot from the tunnel.
1 point for block
5 points for posterizing one dude.
10 points for posterizing 2 or more people.
This will be fun game to play!!!

of course but this is all opened up by spreading the floor with 3 point shooters.
