Do you not see how they're guarding us? They are building a wall in the paint and daring us to make 3's. When we attack the paint, we're going against multiple defenders.

TDS had so much promise as a shooter early in the season. Now he's like the worst on the team

Just upgrading Cole with a guard that can shoot will do wonders

Green jumps backwards to draw the contact and that's a natural shooting motion? This league sucks.

And continuing to go to low % 3’s will just be playing into their defensive strategy where we live or die by the 3. Getting into the paint gets the guys closer to a higher percentage shot.

For real?

As for the bucks only having 3 3s and winning that’s all good if we only had shot 6 3s and made 3 we would have made up for it with 22 other 2 pt FGAs. We are being forced to shoot.

The offense looks worse with Wendell starting than it does with Goga.

But if we had competent shooters, this wouldn't be a problem. Either we would be making open 3's or Paolo would have driving lanes. Not having competent shooters is making the game so much harder than it needs to be.

Wendell definitely hasn't done anything to win the starting spot back.

Steph Curry would shoot 30% from 3 if he was on our team.
