how do you guys feel about three pointers

[carolinajazz]

.....if you have a team with brains, like the old Jazz team with Stockton and Malone and Hornechek....you only need to take about 8-10 per game. It's the lowest percentage shot in basketball. The layup and dunk are much higher percentage shots. You also rarely if ever get fouled taking a 3 pointer. The Jazz had it right. I'm looking at some box scores recently....and can't believe how the winning team....won! The Heat yesterday, shot 4-17 from 3 point land....and had more turnovers than assists and still won the game! As they ask in the urban leagues, "how do that happens?"

All 3 of you are alts from the same person aren't you.

How do you feel about alts?

The 3 point shot can open up the floor and make it easier to get the high percentage dunks and layups without getting stuffed.

[JazzSpazz]

The 3 point shot, when made scores more points than a made or missed 2 point shot. I like that part of it.

i am glad everyone here appreciates the 3 pointer.
what else do you guys like? dont like?
for example i do NOT like the 3 second rule.

I have two different opinions about that rule.
First, when it's called against the other team I like it because the Jazz get to shoot a free throw.
Second, when it's called against the Jazz it's dumb and the refs are just hating on the Jazz, as usual.

[JazzSpazz]

They have been calling 3 seconds much more so far this year.

[Chris-L]

No they're still 3 seconds. I thought the same thing so i timed it, no change.

...actually, one of my thoughts....would bust your head wide open!
