Well then tell teams to defend the 3pt line better. Basketball is about who gets to score more at the end of regulations no matter how they do .

For anyone but players maybe. But competitors want to win maximizing their strengths, not worrying about how it looks much less entertains.

I don't much like a 3s chuckfest either. It reminds me of when New Jersey Devils had a grinding defensive style on the way to the Stanley Cup.

Shamrock is right. It's up to opponents to beat a team or get beaten by whatever strengths achieve the goal.

Celtics have already jacked up 30 threes. Truly a disgusting team to watch play.

Mavs need to try harder to lose. Dwight Powell is available again and we still started small forward Kessler Edwards over him again at center and the Spurs still found a way to lose against us last time.

ofc fans of a team would be happy with winning regardless but do bear in mind that neutral fans are rooting against it

i'd be very disappointed for example, to see a finals series with these dynamics. it def isn't entertaining just the opposite.

This match up clearly is between the two best teams in the NBA. Thunder and Celtics are a tier above the Cavs.

I hate Boston. I really do, but that SGA flop, is pure garbage. Like I have stated previously, after the game there is a review. If its deemed a flop, automatic 1 game suspension. Players will stop doing it.

How the hell was SGA's buzzer beater not a foul SMH he should have gone to the line.

Brown clearly fouled SGA on that last shot. Robbed of the and-1.
