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.
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.
We have competent shooters but they aren’t shooting competently. And you can’t tell me that the 26 misses from 3 tonight don’t add to the pressure of the next 3. Continuing to go to it is a desperate gamblers move hoping one big win will get them back in the black.
