this might be the moment if we’re looking for Ground Zero when fans of the NBA decided it was the last straw that broke the camel’s back this heavily contested three from a 25% shooter while no teammates mve to get open for him was a doozy and it directly led to the fast break that became the first nail in the coffin for the Warriors as the Maverick saw a BP’s contested Corner 3 and raised them with an open Corner three of their own to push the lead lead to double digits and yet these two teams broke the all-time record for three-point makes combined in one of the wildest games of the Season we were treated to a dizzying display of deep discharges that certainly kept us entertained but is this the epitome of what’s wrong with the NBA is this why ratings continue to go down what is it about these shots that has everyone throwing up their hands in disgust and taking to social media to complain endlessly it could be these types of Threes the ones where a player never passes the ball once before stepping back into a heavily contested heave that doesn’t get anywhere near the rim Luca wasn’t the only culprit since steth does these on the regular and this one was closer but you can see him trying to foul bait the refs once he realized the shot had no chance the thing is with a guy like Luca while he might shoot several of these types of Threes a game where his teammates don’t do much but stand and watch he’ll get hot and nail the same type of shot like he did here to extend the early lead over the Warriors and if there’s anybody who has earned the right to take pretty much any type of three he wants it’s Wardell Stephen Curry II no matter if he hasn’t passed or the defender is all up in his face the problem is for every ugly possession where the ball or the players don’t move much at all and leads to a contested three that is a foot off its Target the randomness of the long rebounds leads to some crazy stuff like this scramble to the corner with guys diving and flailing out of bounds while wus audaciously lets this one fly leading to all manner of feelings something that doesn’t happen very often is a matchup between the team that passes the most and the team that passes the least but even though the Mavericks don’t seem to share the rock that much they certainly knew how to leverage their offense to generate a lot of good looks in this game the rle man becomes a pivotal part of generating threes since passing it to him generally forces an extra Defender to bump down in help rotation that makes it easy for lively to kick it out on a good angle to Luca who is wide open for this catch and shoot the Warriors are also well versed in the value of leveraging the outside focus on Steph as a ball handler when two Defenders go to him the short roll is open the Mavericks get caught with two Defenders rotating there to help and Draymond gets a wide open shot that doesn’t go in but this type of teamwork to create an open shot has got to be satisfying on some route level to even the most cynical of NBA fans these days Golden State treated us to two consecutive possessions of the same play that combined a little bit of everything as they release the pressure to the wing first then hit the roll man forcing the defense into an untenable position as kaminga knocks down the wide openen three if it ain’t broke don’t fix it and the quick ball movement to find the opening has got to connect with anyone who’s ever played the game and knows what sharing the ball like this feels like and you wouldn’t have guessed that the Mavericks don’t pass the ball that much after seeing how often they utilize the rle man Steph needed to bump down to stop Lively but doesn’t get back fast enough to stop Klay Thompson from getting the one more pass and nailing the jumper when the Warriors adjusted to cover the corner better with Wiggins in good position Grimes does an excellent job to attack on a catch with a jab cross catching Trace Jackson Davis overp pursuing back into the paint and Kyrie getting a wide open shot that practically goes in before out and how could anyone get frustrated when a team ruthlessly hunts out the biggest Advantage they can find not settling for a semiopen shot when they can make one more pass at the short Corner three and there are coaches out there today who are showing this clip to their teams as a demonstration for how offense should run there is also a big difference between watching these plays on a screen versus being in the arena that surely affects how you feel about the game and that’s why you need SeatGeek the best app for finding the greatest value for for sporting events concerts or the theater just check for the green dots they let you know the price is of Great Value it’s the

worry about being called a geek that’s cool these days and enjoy all your favorite concerts and sporting events save 10% with my code bball 10 so now we can get down of the real issues the NBA faces when it comes to three-point shooting and My worry is that there’s a blanket complaint that there’s too many threes despite the good shot to bad shot ratio being somewhere around 2 to1 the best threes are usually after offensive rebounds when the defense is completely scrambled and the pass comes from the basket area allowing the shooter to be aligned to the hoop and shoot it without dribbling this Lucas shot with 12 seconds in the shot clock with two guys on him was one that would upset even the most casual fan but it directly leads to the best three-point shot they’re ever going to get another great opportunity to get an open three is in transition before the defense can get set and as long as the shots are open these are great shots if they’re not going in off the break they’re valuable because there more opportunities to grab the offensive rebound and guess what that’s where the Mavericks again generate a great three for clay when he’s lost in the scramble of the new possession but these shots get balanced out a little bit with the ones that people and and coaches don’t like the biggest change in role player shot profiles in the modern era is the unleashing of the three-point shot from them back in the day they would have shot long twos and whatever they could find around the basket now we’ll get no pass possessions from guys like Pensky who shot this with 15 seconds left on the shock clck the Warriors do it again when step gets a little caught up in an individual matchup with his former Splash brother there is no movement or passing and watus isn’t really open in the Deep corner and Hees this up with 12 seconds in the shot clock however they were in good position for the offensive rebound and Wiggins got a wide open three but passes it up for an even better shot caused directly from that corner three the explosion of off the dribble threes might be the biggest problem since this is where you’ll see four shots under duress and hardened bricks that might hurt a poor rebounder near the basket Luca gave us one of these in the fourth on another no pass nine dribble step back with kaminga in his face that ends up being short and gives us all a little bit of a stink face Wiggins brings it up and doesn’t pass it and it’s hard to argue when you’ve got five feet of space to shoot this shot that it’s bad but the results can clearly affect how we feel when shots Miss by this much in the best of times players who are in big head mode will make half their shots which means that even when great shots are generated they’ll Miss more often than not maybe this also subconsciously affects how the viewers perceive the three-point shot both because of the success rate but by how much they miss let’s face it shooting a shot from 25 ft away with potential Defenders lurking is a very difficult thing to do consistently even an elite shooter will clang multiple shots a game off of some nice ball movement too so it’s perfectly understandable that people would walk away from watching a typical NBA game after seeing some of these misses and say to themselves hey there’s something wrong here but maybe we’re not recognizing enough of the beautiful game that the Warriors and Mavericks treated us to here Golden State breaks into their patented low poost split with Draymond on the Block and Curry coming off of two screens instead of forcing it over the Big Man Curry throws a gorgeous 46t skip pass we get a one more pass and Pensky gets the open shot and drops it in or this gem from Luca which begins with a ho home High pick and roll but you might have missed that after the hesi gets him an advantage he lifts into the air looks directly at diny up top which makes Draymond go that way like a Jedi mind trick before unleashing a 35- ft no look skip to the corner right on the numbers so all Grimes has to do is casually knock it down amazing he did it again in the third with some Elite dribbling skill to get by Looney but watch how he can keep his head turned towards PJ Washington in the corner while he takes his two steps into the jump this freezes Steph in place so he can whip a no look backhanded 30 foot pass perfectly de Clay’s pocket with enough room to get this up and off and in we might have missed the intricacies of this possession as it starts out with a zipper fist but they added to wrinkle by having Curry back screen the ball screeners man in Spain action causing Kyrie to pause for not even half a second but that’s all step needs to hop into the shot and knock it down if we get too stuck on the result we might ignore that many three-point misses are the result of good team basketball with willing passers hunting for the best shot that just happens to miss but the the process is just as important I love a great fake handoff into the back door cut into a kickout plus two one more passes to an open look against a scrambled defense they just don’t all go in and if we wanted to limit three-point shots in general then we wouldn’t get some of the YOLO plays that put our hearts in our throats and make us get out of our seats when the big guns like Luca and Steph start doing things like this it’s that free spirit and Artistry that makes this game so fun and after another offensive rebound of of course they’re going to find Steph in the corner give credit to Spencer for tracking down Curry immediately and being right there to smother the shot to no avail he hits it while lying on his back in front of his own bench to spark another comeback for the Warriors and for teams who appear to have no chance the three can at least keep the games extremely interesting as Lindsay Waters the third displays the audacity to scoop this ball up find himself one-on-one in the break and just float up in the air towards the hoop and drop it straight down and then seeing terrific defense to knock the Steph dribble away into a steel fly down the court fill the lanes and have Lucas spot clay with a small Lane to skip the ball right into his pocket for the death blow that began the end for the Warriors so before we start completely condemning the NBA for shooting too many threes let’s take a breath and look a little deeper into how these shots are generated I suspect we’ll realize that sure each game is going to have some really bad shots from behind the ark but we’ll get rewarded to a lot more of the kind of shots we love to see and more importantly contribute to winning basketball
