    These -- are throwing in three-pointers as if they're layups. It might be time to move the arc back about two or three feet.

    This looks more like a game of horse than actual basketball.

    The big men of yesteryear are virtually obsolete.

              Hasnt ruined it, but I dont find the 3 ball as exciting as everyone else seems to these days. I would rather watch paint dry than a bunch of dudes coming off screens and jacking up a 3 for 48 minutes.

                    Wait until we start the finals.

                    It's going to be a three point barrage fest.

                        If you think making 30 foot 3's is easy go to your YMCA and try shooting a fukking basketball. You make it seem it's so easy.

                          His percentage would drop, but he would probably still be as valuable.

                          Where is David Robinson?

                          Hakeem Olajuwon?

                          Patrick Ewing?

                          Shaquille O'Neal?

                          Where are the big men?

                            Apparently it's easier than doing anything on the low post.

                                        Yes we so miss Charles Barkely dribbling 14 times rooting his big ass to 4 feet and hitting a fade away.

                                          Cavs have no chance. To beat the Warriors you gotta be as good as them in 3 point shots. Cavs could beat them if theyre allowed to play defense.

                                            I think we all know I'd still average 18 a game.

                                                Bring back iso-ball!

                                                If isolation basketball was still the rage, the Clippers would have multiple championships by now.

                                                Blake Griffin would be all worldly.

                                                  I was wondering why I didn't see them this postseason.

                                                  Thanks.

                                                    You can see it coming a mile away when Golden State wins but doesn't cover.

                                                              It feels like a cheap way to score.

                                                              GS making it look like a video game and very tough to gaurd, practically no point of even playing.

                                                              NBA in general is garbage so im not concerned, NHL playoffs is where its at!
