Has the three point shot ruined the game of basketball?

    I'd go for that. That way it wouldn't be eliminated completely.

    Pops always has something to whine about.

    Without the 3 pt shot, basketball is a boring train wreck in the paint.

    It takes a smart coach to be able to defend the 3. Maybe that's his weak link?

    The highest % given up (after duncan arrived) was in 2008-2009 at nearly 38%. Last year they gave up 36%. And actually, for three straight years he gave up exactly 35.3% in 3p% (2011-2014).
