    Not impressed. Unless they are literally shooting from the Woodlands.

    Why not just try to launch a 100 3s in a game.

    They should be shooting their free throws from the 3 point line. Free in game 3 pointer practice.

    Maybe they can step it up a notch and start practicing banking 3 pointers like Tim Duncan used to.

    I asked for this last year. They need to have a 3's only game after playoff seeding is set to see what happens.

    Halfcourt shots are more efficient than 3s.

    He should have played for the Harlem Globetrotters. Those games added 4 point shots. Which makes me wonder what the Rockets' offense would look like if the NBA had the same thing

    Heck, that easy enough to answer. We'd be shooting a **** load of 4's.
