Despite shooting above the league average for 3PT%, Boston was ranked 26th in 3pt makes last year with 408. (League average was 530.) We were also 28th in 3PA, meaning only 2 other teams took less 3PT shots than we did.

In 2007-2008, we were 8th with 596 3PM, league average was 537.


A key aspect to not lose sight either was that back in 2007-2008, we also were a top 10 team in FTM and FTA.

Last year we were 20th in FTA makes, 22 in FTA.


So I guess the thinking, more 3's leads to less FTs isn't very accurate.

Yeah I think that's because when you take a bunch of 3's they run at you or stay up on you then the shooter fakes and drives to the basket where he meets a late rotation. Or at least that would be my best explanation.

Jason Kapono was available before the Lakers made a move

They signed him for the Vet Min

We could have had him for that price


Nah, he's a bro that went to UCLA...no way would he pick us over LA.

yep, there's your 3 pt shooter.


im still confused as to why they didn't bring back delonte.  better, in my mind, than dooling, marquis, sasha, bradley, or moore.

I think Delonte wanted multiple years and the C's said no. I also heard he was trying to get offers from other teams and the Celts didn't want to wait for him.

Didn't you know, big men are a dying breed in the NBA?

When 10/10 can get you 40-60 million dollar contracts...that's the sign of the end for big men, maybe extinction.

Sasha = Garbage, I agree.  Never been a fan of his play.

Dooling is our backup guard and a decent trey shooter.

I think he is getting highly underrated. Although no All-Star he is a good player, who can fill in nicely on this team.

But we still need another big with JO's fragility.
