[blink]

If KP is back tomorrow I wouldn't expect him to play.

Yeah, not complaining about those. We just suck shooting the ball tonight haha Horford in particular looks like Druski shooting out there.

Sometime you take the right shots, and they just don't go in.

Luckily the C's are good enough that they could still very well win this game, even with the shooting struggles.

so if we are shooting 28% from 3, we should just keep shooting them if we are open?  how many of those makes at 28% does require to over-ride better looks in the lane?

JB is having so much success driving that we should be attacking on every play.

[SparzWizard]

Struggling against a Draymond-less Warriors. That's tough.

And if JT is limited, then our $300M guy needs to step it up 10 notches.

[blink]

and the JB drive draws the 4th foul on Curry
that is why we need to keep attacking

Not necessarily. But the ones Al missed were WIDE open with nobody within 15 feet or so. For a shooter like Al, I think you have to take those every time and just play the percentages. It's the other ones that are just open/semi-contested or earlier in the shot clock that I think you have to reconsider.

whoa Queta the first man off the bench in the 2nd!!!

[jpotter33]

Looks like Queta is earning more trust from Joe.

I think that’s the biggest challenge for a coaching staff…what is a good shot. Is an open shot a good shot? Is the person shooting it help determine if it’s good or not? Or, like a lot of fans decide, it’s a good shot if it went in and a bad one if it didn’t?

I wouldn’t be surprised if the coaching staff has a quality rating for every spot on the floor, influenced by the level of openness or whether it was a pull up, a corner 3 from ball movement, a pick and pop, etc. some shots look prettier than others but they may not necessarily be better than others.

GS got a good KT game

ok, ok, I will give Al his wide open 3's, I just get tired of us having something that obviously works, but we keep shooting 3s when we are shooting 28%
