to me, that's an overreaction to a one time fluke of the cap spike and the fact that there is little parity ever in playoff basketball. it often comes down to who has the best guy in the series.


pushing the line back probably won't change as much as we might think- the Rockets already have shooters standing 3-4 feet beyond the line. and it won't affect Curry much at all.

i dont believe the spacing genie can be put back in the lamp unless they just want to basically eliminate the 3pt line.

Based on revenue and ratings, that's not true. Golf was at it's peak popularity/profitability over the last 25 years when Tiger was dominating and setting course records.

They started making these 7000+ yd courses to "Tiger-proof". (Erin Hills is going to play 7800 yds next week) Instead of limiting the technology and adjusting rough/greens, they lenghthened the courses and changed the way the game is played. Many short game players were essentially eliminated from competition with the new courses while others had to focus too much on driving.

Move the line back to 25' and the Warriors/Rockets probably gain an advantage because they are exceptional at distance. The disparity between them and the middle of the pack shooting teams will grow. Do you keep moving the line back until the top shooting teams pps from perimeter is essentially equal to a mid-range?
