May 4May 4 If they removed the 3 point line altogether, that would be really weird. I am just spit balling here but maybe make the 3 point line online at the top only and not from the sides? They can make the shot clock 30 seconds instead of 24. I dunno, I haven't had my coffee yet but F THE KNICKS!!!!

This series, the coaching is equal and I think the talent level is very close too. They have a lot of length and good rebounders though. I think this will be a 6 or 7 game series. Probably need Barlow's length in this one. I hope Nurse is reiterating the importance of rebounding this series.

That's exactly how I see it.On the other hand, they could leave it where it is but have two quarters where there is no three. That would bring back the inside game, big man game, mid-range jumper, etc. Teams would be able to play any type of basketball they cared to play and the full range of players and game would be in play once again. The truly great teams would be able to play both the inside and the three point arc games.Just move the 3 point line back even further IF you keep it, allowing only truly elite shooters/specialists to hit them. Like make it a damn near desperation shot. Or get rid of it altogether. Someone asked "what kind of game will it be if they remove the line?" The answer is REAL F C K I N Basketball.

Part of what makes professional sports interesting (IMHO) is watching world class athletes compete in the same game everyday people do. Raise the basket and you've probably just cut most people out of playing basketball. I mean, they still could, but would they? I've played on some baskets that were 12' high to keep people from grabbing and ruining them and it's just not as fun.

Last time they played the Knicks in the playoffs, they gave up far too many offensive rebounds. It also felt like Robinson had the ability to negate a hobbled Embiid in the post when they were matched up. That and Josh Hart being lights out from 3 points range and having like 4 to 5 offensive rebounds a game.

I would try to get him in foul trouble early. This version of Hart and Bridges is not the same, at least on offense. I will say the last couple games we had a lot of really good open looks from 3 and missed many of them. We need to hit those this series. VJ should revert back to his norm with his 3 point shooting I believe. Last game hopefully is the start of that for him (5-11).

Oubre has been shooting poorly from 3 as well so they could try to force him to make open 3's. I forgot Clarkson is with the Knicks. It feels like he always kills the 6ers as well

Yeah Kelly is in a really bad slump but he is a confident guy who doesn't get down so if they are open looks, he should start to hit some.
May 4May 4 @HazletonEagle is there any chance Maxey’s finger is healing slowly or will that not start until he stops playing basketball?
