Remember, we’re the third most likely team to win the championship this year, both Smart and White are top-20 players, and the poor shooting is all in our heads.
Yes, because clearly even the best teams don't have poor quarters like this. Bit of an overreaction.
What overreaction? What criticism did I give?
Those are all things that have been stated repeatedly on here the past 48 hours.
You literally implied that this bad first quarter is evidence that these things aren't true. That's like textbook overreaction lol
And I can't speak for every single post on the site, but you're largely misrepresenting what has been said about these things on the site, at least from what I've seen.
The claims about Smart and White being "top-20 players" and "third most likely to win the championship" are all based on advanced stats (e.g. 538, RAPTOR, etc.) that are suggesting this, not people making this claim in general. Big difference there.
Can't really speak about the poor shooting, as I haven't personally seen any argument of people saying this. If they are, then that's clearly wrong I think, as we haven't been a good shooting team. Perhaps some have been arguing that the poor shooting is less of an issue given our defense? Again, not sure since I haven't seen people make this argument and can't really assess whether this is a true representation of those arguments.
