So you can get 6 common fouls, which is what you're hearing when they say someone has 3 fouls. If it's egregious they can call a technical foul or especially bad a flagrant foul. Flagrants come in 1 or 2, a flagrant 2 is an auto ejection.

Flagrant 1s and 2s are almost exactly yellow and red cards respectively.

I don't really follow basketball but from what I can tell, it's this idea that advancing the ball directly to the hoop should be rewarded more.

It's like the people who want to make NFL field goals worth more if you kick them from closer range.

Ehhh, it's not so much that as it is frustration with a team that has basically become the first to "break" basketball by fully exploiting this inefficiency that has existed for awhile. Morey has tried it with the Rockets, but he doesn't have good three-point shooters. It's hard to complain about without sounding like a "get off my lawn" old man though.

I've never understood this.

I mean... three pointers are like the hardest shot. Right? Because it's so far out.

So it's a bad thing they're winning by hitting a bunch of difficult shots? :confused:

There are a few different angles of complaint. The most justified is that making the intelligent choice to take the shot that's worth more has erased a big chunk of the floor, and all the skills that went with getting good midrange shots, hook shots, scoops, etc.

The emotional argument is just that when they make a lot crazy threes the other team is basically helpless and can't win. Reasonable, but dumb, obviously

There are ideas floating around about moving the line further out, eliminating the short corners. But I think this is jsut the state of things

The fact is GSW just happens to have the best shooters of their sort in decades, possibly ever, both on the same team.

Pretty much, I don't necessarily think it's worth changing basketball over. It's going to make the next decade loving painful to watch though. Moving the line back would just make them more dominant.

That was a good challenge by Love too. It's just impossible unless you're a giant limbed person.

Realistically the Thunder and Spurs are the only teams that can guard them at all, and the Spurs are pretty spotty there too.
