That’s not the reason we lost but it’s absolutely a problem. There was so many points during this game that they answered us making a lay up or 2 with an open 3. Someone said in the GT that the Celtics normally shoot 40% from 3 and at 61 attempts that’s still 24 made 3’s. If we shot 40% from 3 on our volume that’s only 12 made 3’s. That’s 72 points compared 36. We’d have to either create so many extra possession to make up that difference or shoot an insane number from 2.
