Message: [QUOTE="MadDogRevival, post: 2224193, member: 8028"] The "growing" emphasis? It's not just a growing emphasis. It's the only emphasis. The NBA game IS a 3 point shooting game. Period. The rest is mostly irrelevant. I think the style of basketball absolutely sucks. Yeah, at 48 I guess I'm "old school." Today's game is bomb away or crash and draw the foul. I find it terribly boring, and I think it makes guys who don't have a complete skill set look a lot better than they are. Yeah, nobody wants to go back to a ponderous game with dumping the ball into the big guy for the back in, clumsy half hook. But I think that rewarding 50% more for a shot that's now pretty easy for guys coming up is boring. Maybe it's great for today's ADD generation. Nothing like being about to come back from 15 down in 3 minutes by chucking up 3s constantly and maybe getting hot. GS and the Cavs shot 33 and 44 three point attempts. The Cavs shot just about 1/2 of their shots from behind the arc. To me, that sucks, and I guess I'll find another way to spend my entertainment money, after I'm done shooing these damn kids off my lawn. LOL. [/QUOTE]
