The flopping/moving screens/whining/attempts to manipulate the rules are just the worst.

And in terms of analytics - I think there’s too many 3’s, and when guys drive and pass up a likely layup to pass out for a 3….eh.   Too often the shot selection looks like what dorks used to do on NBA Live.

I miss balanced scoring.    The early 10’s were the sweet spot for me.   I liked GS back then too and they were a big part of “the sweet spot”, but once they ascended, everything eventually went haywire.

I’d hold the 2003 Orangemen up of what an ideal offensive approach in college b-ball would be to me.   Multiple 3 point shooters, multiple slashers who could get to the rim, guys who could hit the mid range jumper and hit mid range floaters, guys who could post up and score on the low block, and many good passers.    It obviously helps that Melo checked basically everyone of those boxes, but that was a team with tremendous balance.    It was pretty basketball when we were playing well.

Consider though….we took 15 3’s per game and made 5.   The 2014 Spurs took 21 3’s per game.

To me, 15-20 is the sweet spot.   Last year’s Warriors shot 43 3’s per game.   It’s just not as fun to watch.   1980s ball when everything was in the paint wouldn’t cut it for me either.   Give me balance!
