Can Zach please keep shooting 14 3s per game!

This is what I was clamoring for against the Cavs… rise up and shoot the 3 in crunch time. It doesn’t matter if they weren’t dropping earlier. Zach drove instead against the Cavs and didn’t finish or get foul calls.

This is how he needs to play in crunch time when we need a shot. Be aggressive in shooting g 3s.

Be careful what you wish for lol. No one likes it when Zach hogs the ball and takes bad shots. When he’s hot it’s all good but when he’s off its a problem.

Don't get me wrong he still does it( Coby too) but he’s actually cut it down a bit this season. Even during crunch time it’s best to get the best shot possible but obviously when the defense tightens Zach and Coby are the ones who will have pressure to take the big shots.

Coby consistently takes poor shots. Lavine rarely does. Because historically Lavine's shots result in somewhat elite efficiency. Zach taking bad shots is a Stacey King and message board urban legend and fallacy. Stacey because he thinks every possession should go through the post. Message boards because Lavine has been the Bulls fan scapegoat. Every other guy in the league who scores wth the volume and efficiency of Zach Lavine takes those same shots, and most take them even earlier in the clock and from deeper than Lavine, (including Coby, who really hasn't earned that leeway exceptv during his hot streaks)

They both take bad shots . Again Zach got a lot better at that this season but he did take bad shots his whole career. He does take them because he’s capable of hitting them sometimes but a bad shot is still a bad shot lol.

I said Lavine "rarely" takes bad shots. But I am interested in what you define as a bad shot. Is it the same for every player?

You can't blame Zach and Coby this year. They're playing fine, overall. They've had their clunker nights, and their defense is below-par, but the lower usage and efficiency is good. 3P makes are a big deal.

Right now the entire bench rotation is combined for around 35 PPG, which is laughable compared to any other team (GSW gets around 75 PPG fwiw). And of course, Giddey/Vuc's defense is the most exploitable bit in the NBA.

Giving SAS 11-14 is still the worst thing that can happen IMO (with a play-in exit), but unfortunately we're almost designed to do just that. AKME seem masochistic and nonchalant about flirting with these worst-case scenarios. So you either tear the bandaid off and bleed out by dumping Vuc/Zach, and we prepare for 3+ rough rebuild years, or you continue this mill.
