Too many 3's but the old days of watching Shaq/Kareem/ Wilt/Hakeem score from three feet was also boring.

Yeah, I think people might be forgetting that in the late 90s we had the Bulls beating the Knicks 94-88.Anarchistbear said:

Yeah, and then the guy misses the three-pointer badly but because it's a long range shot that clanks hard off the rim it's more likely to be an offensive rebound, and then another guy gets a wide-open three in the scramble. I'm like, ehh, did you really earn that?Anarchistbear said:
The thing that annoys me is the drive and kick out. You beat a guy off the dribble and throw it backwards. Otherwise today's game opens the floor up better and there is a lot of chemistry- just watch OKC and Indiana play.

Larry Bird learned basketball at a time when three-pointers weren't a thing. If they had been, you can bet he would have been working on them from an early age.
Though the same goes for guys like Magic and Kareem; if they'd lived in the modern era they would have tailored their games to that. I suspect both could have learned a decent three-point shot if they had to.

Haven't really noticed, were the refs "favoring" the Knicks? It would be great for the NBA, sort of, to get them back in the Finals.

Trump said he wanted an all "red state" final. The NBA caved quicker than an elite DC law firm
Definitely a rough series result for the NBA conspiracy theorists.bearister said:
My kids were convinced that the fix was going to be in by the refs to send a Game 7 back to MSG because of the millions that would be generated by that game. That theory crashed and burned on the court in Indianapolis yesterday.
