Has anyone noticed the small white circles in the paint this year between the free throw line and the basket? First time I've ever noticed this on the celtics parquet.. its been bugging me all season, but they appear to make small diamonds, and are in the same spots at both ends of the court.
I wonder if they are there for strategic purposes, to help run offensive plays? Sort of like the way Phil Jackson put the Bulls logo's on the court to run the triangle offense.
Maybe I'm just losing it.
