Bad defense, turnovers, and missed free throws

I mean no disrespect, but the only stat that really matters is the fact that the Suns have made 12 threes and the Magic have made 5.

It's so remarkably difficult to when when you're -21 in points from the 3PT line.

This isn't a three point shooting contest

Wainwright playing the wrong sport.

I’m going to split the difference and say we just need to be closer in 3pt makes. We don’t need to win that war but we shouldn’t be getting blown out in 3pt shooting in 2023.

Goga is giving us outstanding minutes! That's what I want from my C position.

But honestly, it is most nights.

I need to take some time to research the exact number, and will do so after the season, but just based on the info that I do know, the winning percentage of teams who make significantly more threes than their opponents is something nutty like 80%.

I'm genuinely curious how 3pt differential tracks with the propensity to win relative to other differentials.

Keep winning those minutes over Moe, Bitadze.

Wendell helping to secure the tank loss here.

Our starters have the worst communication defensively lol.

Post #119 » by **eyriq** » Fri Mar 17, 2023 4:10 am

These starters are a mess on defense

Franz got held on his rotation to Okogie but it wasn’t a foul… and hardly ever is in the NBA for some odd reason. But then they call that weak foul on WCJ.
