39% of the shots to date have come from behind the line...a record
The NBA is getting like the all-or-nothing nature of Major League Baseball.
It's becoming hard to watch with one three-point heave after another.
College football is also going this route with the emphasis on explosive offensive plays.
For me, a 48-45 college football game lacks suspense or intrigue until the final few minutes.
Same with a 145-140 NBA game or a 9-8 baseball score.
And for every 9-8 baseball score, you get plenty of 13-3 or 14-4 final scores.
But television likes the high-scoring nature of games, no matter how the teams score the points, because that's what attracts the average viewer.
It's now to the point where no one play really matters because teams are able to score in bunches.
Let's remember, Arena Football ended up in Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
