 This really is just turning into a three-point shooting contest and when the Celtics were cold like last night we lose when the Rockets were cold like game seven they lose I think if you changed it to 2.5 people would take them at least a little bit less which would be good we need to think of something.

I thought about this idea but at my gym. We play 1's and 2's, it's ridiculous how much that scoring setup advantages good long distance shooters.

It also means really bad shooters take tons of 3s, because hey, if you have a 6% chance of making a shot anywhere in the 3-25 foot range, you might as well take a 3.

I think the 1/2 thing has ruined pickup basketball.

Hah, honestly I haven’t seen that too much. Everyone I play with seems to have played organized ball at one point in their lives.
