Well s***, if the other team shoots 54% from three on high volume then you're gonna lose. That just is what it is.
Onto the next one.
Most optimistic take. Thanks. Yeah, 23-43 is difficult to defeat, especially when you are shooting a pedestrian 12-32. 33 point differential. The downside of the take is -- they had way too many good looks.
This is the most important point, though. It wasn't like they were hitting super contested, difficult threes. We were gift wrapping them wide open threes of the PnR because of a poor defensive gameplan and lack of adjustments.
You can't claim a fluke when you're giving them wide open threes. They're still professional basketball players on a team that is known for three point shooting.
