Great to see us pull out a win there. These are the sort of games that build the kind of trust and chemistry needed to be a good team.

Nice thinking guys.

You're right from an entertainment point of view for sure. I said years ago they need to widen the court by a few feet and extend the 3P line. It would also open up more short midrange play and just funner more open space for offense. Guys are too big, too good and too fast now a days. In the old days the dimensions were fine. We need more room now and make the 3 ball percentage not so much of an advantage/winning play.

As far as Ant hitting 3's. He should be shooting them because he's awesome at it and it's winning basketball. I'd rather win, then be all about exciting plays.

What is it that's more entertaining watching someone shoot a midrange jumper then a 3 pointer? I don't really get it

It's not really shot for shot on a basic level, but it is another option that could be utilized by many more players if it was effective for them. We have nearly all 3's and paint shots now by 98% of players which makes sense (most guys not named Durant and Derozen can't hit a mildly contested two at a high enough level). Wouldn't everything be better? I think so.

I ask you the other question. Wouldn't you like to see longer (tougher) threes and some midranges a little more space for guys to drive and pass? Every part of the game used? I would. The floor is too clogged on the NBA level (guys are huge and fast), it's just needs more space in general to make it more entertaining.
