Welp, it's that time for my seemingly annual season ending rant about how this team REALLY needs to stop chucking so many 3's. WE ARE NOT THE WARRIORS!!! Rarely do I agree with Charles Barkley but him and Shaq Nailed it. After going 0-12 to start some goon should've went to the bench and said "Anyone else who shoots a 3 is getting punched in the face" White was the only one who played that seemed to halfway understand the concept of .... Gasp, ATTACKING the Basket. We were playing at home. It's safe to say refs would've mostly called fouls on our behalf. I know from my last rant after we lost the finals and (every playoff exit since 2018 where I've been screaming this from the mountaintop) Many of you responded with Comments like
"sorry my friend, that ship has sailed, this is the new NBA" But come on guys. Am I in the twilight zone? Am I the only one who saw the game last night? Does the C's coaching staff ever watch film? Especially after game 6 debacle? Couldn't anyone CLEARLY SEE the positive results that was happening when they started attacking the basket and got the lead down to 7? To make matters worse , it's like JOE is oblivious. They are doubling down like "Nope , not changing a thing, We just need to hit more 3's" GET AN F-in CLUE!! We've been trying this Warriors impression for years now, WE DON'T HAVE THE ROSTER CAPABLE OF RELYING ON THE 3 TO GUIDE US TO A CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! I feel like Joe should get demoted for that statement alone , when the reporter asked something along the lines of "shouldn't you guys go to something else besides relying so heavily on the 3" and Joe was like "NO!" Ughhhh
Seriously guys , what do y'all think it will finally take for the Coaching staff to see the light? Not saying never shoot 3's but we should limit our 3's to about 30 per game. Miami was on fire, shot 50% from 3 and even they limited themselves to 28 (Mostly open) 3's. Is it me? I'm crazy? Should we double down and despite any roster changes we may make in the off-season, we should still do the whole "Live by the 3, Die by the 3" philosophy?
