Firstly, the fact that two teams might shoot a lot of threes says absolutely nothing about how they generate them. Teams play very different styles of basketball with very different types of creation and different offensive structures, and reducing them both down to ''they shoot threes'' is as silly as saying the 2001 Lakers and the 1979 Blazers were the same type of boredom because they both revolved around post threats.
Secondly, and this is personal opinion, the NBA has never been more exciting to watch than it is today. Go back and re-watch a game from like, 1995 or 2004 and be stunned by how painfully dull it is most of the time. The level of play today is so much higher than in the past, it's almost insane.
