Almost everything you said seems like very positive trends to me

Scoring itself is not up. Scoring efficiency is up. The highest scoring seasons

Scoring has trended way up over the past 10 years. It isn't as high as the

Scoring being up has as much to do with pace than anything. If you look at the

I do think one negative trend is the reduced # of assists and is why so many

I agree that assists going down is not good for basketball

Team sports are being optimized, often making the sport unrecognizable

It's all about efficiency. That's what metrics do for sports. The only reason

As a note I think the 3 line should be moved back and side 3 eliminated

Me too. I also think they need to widen out the lane at the baseline similar to

FIBA did away with the trapezoid lane years ago

That would give defensive play some help
Busiturtle

What it would do is make the game even more of a perimeter game

I wonder what removing the corner 3 would do to spacing?
Dillinger
4/22/19 6:14pm
It would change a lot. Might be something for the G league to try out?
CSoul

How would it open it up? It would clog things a lot more in my opinion

If, in theory, no one is chilling out in the corners on offense the would be

How would they be farther away from the basket? Are you going to put them up

You just made the case for what I’ve been saying for years, and is why the NBA

The stats don't say people aren't playing defense.

3 worst defensive efficiency years in league history were past 3 years
nephicoug
4/22/19 6:15pm
That's just because of 3s, defense on them was average.
CSoul

5 of the lowest turnover percentages in league history were in the past 6 years
nephicoug

Again, most turnovers happen inside the arc. Most of the game happens

Defense doesn't impact 3-point shooting percentage, only 3PA/FGA

In fact, when you look at the league's best defenses - aside from the Bucks -

You can't control how many 3s they take either. Like I said, teams are taking

Actually you can. The Jazz do it very well - 1st in the league. Which is why

Houston has shot 41, 42, 45 threes in their three games this series
CSoul

And their defensive ratings were 123.6, 117.7 and last night 103.0

Wow...dude, nobody’s playing defense anymore

In Lifi's defense I wouldn't call guarding Harden's rear end, defense

Not sure what fundamentals have regressed? Definitely not shooting, passing or dribbling.

I think what's changed is the NBA has found the perfect NBA athlete

Aren’t some of those stats explained by the emphasis on 3-pt shooting?

How many extra steps taken on drives to the basket and step-back threes?

Lack of defense, lack of hustle show up in those stats. NBA is lame now.
