Eliminating technical fouls for playing zone defense was good for the NBA.

Donovan Mitchell had a 6.9 PER in the playoffs this year. That's the worst playoff PER since at least 1973 by a player with a 30% usage rate https://t.co/PeR0Rvvnm8 pic.twitter.com/CfqrqeN5lj— Basketball Reference (@bball_ref) April 25, 2019

There’s a lot of layers to the rockets-warriors thing but the important point is that Harden and Paul are disgraces to the game and deserve this humiliation

Charted the openness of BOS's catch and shoot jumpers in Game 1 (by shooter). A huge takeaway is the shots that were open were REALLY open -- usually not a defender within at least 8-10 feet of the shooter.

some of these ideas are wild but widening the court to 54 feet and making the arc universal seems like it needs to happen http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26633540/the-nba-obsessed-3s-let-fix-thing

they shd move back a couple feet too imo
― lag∞n, Friday, 3 May 2019 23:38 (four years ago) link
imo widening the court and/or moving the line back would encourage a 3s & dunks offense
players would adjust to shoot from further out and then there would be less help in the middle
― micah, Saturday, 4 May 2019 00:05 (four years ago) link
whether that is good or bad is a preference
― micah, Saturday, 4 May 2019 00:06 (four years ago) link
i dont think u can just adjust to shoot from further out i mean its harder
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 May 2019 00:06 (four years ago) link
players getting better at shooting has been a consistent trend, it might take a few years sure
― micah, Saturday, 4 May 2019 00:08 (four years ago) link
it would also increase the value of (perhaps one dimensional) long range shooters
― micah, Saturday, 4 May 2019 00:09 (four years ago) link
u cant just get infinitely good at shooting from whereever
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 May 2019 00:10 (four years ago) link
yes that is a true fact
― micah, Saturday, 4 May 2019 00:11 (four years ago) link
just making the 3 point line uniform and widening the court a bit would be a good first step. would drop the overall 3point % and change gameplay a bit. worth a shot for somewhere to start without changing TOO much.
― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Saturday, 4 May 2019 00:12 (four years ago) link
do you have a preferred gameplay style in mind?
― micah, Saturday, 4 May 2019 00:13 (four years ago) link
i like this era of pace and space but it's a bit out of hand and not showing much signs of plateauing. basically i just think the rockets have kind of taken it to it's end/extreme and it doesnt look pretty to my eyes.
― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Saturday, 4 May 2019 00:20 (four years ago) link
personally i would find the rockets much more palatable if hardens antics were deducted. as a team they make the most of their talents and its hard to fault them for it
― micah, Saturday, 4 May 2019 00:29 (four years ago) link
i reject the premise that the 3 is too easy or common. what people actually dislike is ugly offense.

the convo between zach lowe & kirk g on zach’s pod was interesting... zach & SVG also had an interesting convo about this subject
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 4 May 2019 07:10 (four years ago) link
SVG made an interesting argument about how what isn’t fun is seeing guys just shooting so many stand still 3s per game bcuz it robs the game of amazing feats of athleticism. not sure i buy it given that the NBA is more demanding on a play to play basis than ever and the collective athleticism of the league is a big part of that but i’ve found myself considering it. personally i just think they need to move the line back... the plays i rly don’t like are like i.e. game 2 of celts/bucks when the entire game flipped bcuz khris middleton was dribbling the ball for 6 seconds and then pulling up and making contested threes. the whole thing felt random and cheap and not fun to watch. the most interesting bit about the kirk & zach convo was when they were talking about how traditionally the league has always tweaked rules to make the game easier for smaller players but now finally it needs to be balanced back out to make it easier for the bigs
