Don't mind the shots we've been taking to be honest.
They've been pretty open, or in the flow of the offense, with the exception of 1 or 2.
Orlando ain't good though.
I guess when we are bottom 9 in the NBA in 3point % and our players act like we are top 10, it gets under my skin a bit. We aren’t a good 3 point shooting team, we are great at scoring in the paint, so we clank a bunch of 3 point shots.
I agree we should rely on it less - but we're getting a lot of open ones and I'd rather keep shooting those. It's a good shot.
Also, it's not like we're top 10 in attempts per game either.
I agree there were a couple attempts too many though, but mainly early in the game. We didn't take it to the hoop at all. Since then, there's a lot more movement.
Well we took 24 3 point shots in the first half. We took 21 non-3point shots. I mean what is the ratio we should be at if we are the 9th worst 3 point shooting team in the nba?
That is a genuine question, not being sarcastic.
Depends on the game very much. But the league is shooting between 30 and 40 threes a game. So between 15 and 20 would've been better here. Which I think kind of aligns with the early 3 point attempts we saw in this game. About a handful were just too much.
I suppose with our slow pace, we should shoot a few less still, but again, in this game, we've been getting a lot of good open looks too.
Open for a reason.
That's how I see it: An open shot is not "good" if the person or team taking it isn't particularly good at that shot. I keep hearing about how Boston's system generates a lot of "good looks," but the looks are not, in fact, good when the guys shooting them are mediocre or poor shooters.
