While I do like taking open 3s and/or setting up good looks from there and taking it, I'm just not a fan of this idea that we seemingly have to jack up 50-60+ 3s a game even if they are contested. We've already attempted 20 3s through 17 minutes and honestly a lot of them aren't even open looks, it's like we aren't even trying to maybe go inside or take easy jumpers.
It's something where they might get away with it due to talent but in a playoff series if they go ice cold from 3 a few games it could be rough.
They definitely were not *this* dependent on the 3 last year. Not to say it wasn't part of Mazzulla's philosophy but it wasn't this "excessive" either
And here's the thing. The first game for example where they tied a record for 3s, in that game NY left them WIDE OPEN most of the game. Fine. That's alright. It's just there's been other games where even if guys are covered or even doubled they still decide to chuck it up.
