Miami Heat: Definitive Answers To A Phantom Problem… Perhaps?
On the other hand, hitting threes seems to be the end-all in these games. If shooters can get hot, no lead is insurmountable and no amount of talented defenders can make a dent in an opponent’s onslaught.
If you are unconscious from deep, you will blow a team out. If you are cold, the only prayer you may have is launching shots to catch lightning.

It seems to be the start of a problem, but maybe I’m crazy. You don’t want to kill the three-point shot.
Part of the beauty of today’s game is not only the speed, the precision, and the ridiculous scoring efficiency—but also the ability of seemingly every player to score from everywhere.
At the same time, every day seems to bring the game closer to reducing a result to each team’s three-point accuracy. Am I being an alarmist?
Maybe, but look at the scores, watch the games, and tell me we are not inching towards that reality? You can’t have definitive answers to a problem that you aren’t sure exists, but there tends to be fire where there is smoke.
There is definitely smoke here.
