This summer Danny has to change out a couple of bench guys for someone who can make 3's. Houston has a bunch of guys who can hit them.

The zone isn't good against a good shooting team....

Exactly. They'll just shoot the deep three like normal. It actually plays right into their hands. Don't understand this strategy.

What the hell was that garbage zone? We didn’t even try and defend the shooter (House). Smart and Brown just sort of watched him catch and shoot
Brown likes to watch opposing teams get open three pointers. It must be the only explanation for his awful off ball defense.
Yeah, for his on-ball excellence his off-ball tendencies suck. Just turns off

Brown and Tatum's FT misses are huge this game.

Lol, Tatum is 9/10. Brown is 2/4.

So? You dont think 3 missed shots will help in a close game like this? That's just dumb.

Houston is shooting 31% from 3. That’s not where we are losing the game.

Tatum's getting tested.

Tatum's getting rocked.

I don't think one-on-one play is going to beat Houston. We have to move the ball and stop launching contested 3's.

It's better if you don't miss shots....

Singling out those two is dumber.
