Correct me if I'm wrong, but Garland is NOT a good 3pt shooter, right?

Sorry, I didn't watch the first half. I saw that KP had a slow start ... 1-7 or something.

But once he gets switched on .. f*** me he's efficient.

I think everyone can become a good 3pt shooter vs. the Cs defense.

At what point do you make an adjustment in game if drop coverage isn’t working…

Cs would be trailing big if this were last season.

KP's inside presence and outside shooting allowed the Cs to win that 3rd qtr.

Garland & Donovan are a slick very talented duo
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

At that point he had already hit like four straight mid range jumpers so he was feeling his shot.

If it's just the regular season, you don't have to.

The playoffs will be another story.

Garland is 39% on his last 1,000 attempts.

He’s an insane shooter, considering it’s all pull-ups.

They already did. At least it turned from Mitchell threes to Garland twos. Lol.

Okay, so it's just this year that he's shooting it poorly? And he chooses this game to get his groove back. Lucky us.

I can't watch yet, but I was just going to say how nice it was to not get blown out in the 3rd by a team on a back to back!

All i see is a team right now is a that has showed zero improvement and still has no identity except they like to put up threes. Cavs are in a back to back and easily are winning 50/50 balls and hustle plays.
