It goes deeper than just the 3 ball for me. Neutering defense makes offensive accomplishments less impressive. If you are going to go hardline on the holding on the perimeter, banging off the ball then bring balance to it. Take away the illegal screens, push offs, rip throughs, start calling some of the more ridiculous carrying/traveling violations that they ignore. 135-139 scorelines with no defensive resistance(allowed) is boring, might looks good in a 4 mins highlight package but I miss proper contests with an edge.
I hope the playoffs stay closer to a more traditional basketball feel, but the regular season is an orgy of stat padding.
NFL and NBA have gone the same way with everything slanted towards scoring and a more casual appreciation of the game.
Well said. I'm not a hard core basketball fan but making it easy for offense takes away from value of offense.
