oh course he got worse.

As I said on the GB yesterday, I'm still a little salty we missed out on a year of Kawhi's prime for God knows what reason. But they have a few new legit players.
i really like this siakam guy though. he’s a beast 3toheadmelo wrote:Capn'O wrote:3toheadmelo wrote:Toronto got a squad this year. they don’t look like pretenders (finally)

He definitely faked some of it. Lame AF.
The guy can play though.

And f*ck up the tank?
It would literally be Kawhi doing his best Superman impression of carrying a bunch of bums and kids around for a whole season.

I think melo would be a better fit in miami or brooklyn where he could have the ball more in his hands, but NVM I'm happy if he plays again and will continue rooting for him!

Read it again with the "we" being fans of the NBA. It ain't all about the Knicks. Especially in this thread.

The problem is that when the 3 was introduced it was a hard shot that people weren't used to taking and making. Only a few guys could hit it at a rate that was worth even trying. More players practice it now, and it's become too easy to hit. Especially the corner 3. The stats point to the reality that you're better off getting really good at that than developing any other skill if you're not some sort of stud playmaker.
Now what do you do? Move the corner 3 back any further and you're almost off the court. So you gotta widen the court and change every arena in the league to accommodate that? That's not trivial.
If the 3 ball were a harder shot, it would be a less efficient shot and analytics as well as common sense would diminish it's value once again.
