This new NBA is such a joke lol you want a team that will be second in The NBA in 3PT attempts? Why? 11 of the top 17 teams that attempt the most 3's per game are either in the lottery or play in(awful teams). Just need efficient offense not a three every other shot


I agree that efficient offense is efficient offense, but we still should be running sets that generate more more 3PAs.

We can still give Brunson his 1 v 1 attacks but he'd have a lot more space to create if guys are knocking down from outside.

Towns should be taking way more threes.

Mikal should be getting looks in the mid range

I don't think Tom has remotely scratched the surface with what this team can do offensively.

This team should be unstoppable

The set is to go 5 out, PnR, penetrate, and kick out for the 3.

That’s the only play. :lol:

Since it seems we aren't capable of being an elite defensive team, why not play to our strengths?

We are top 10 in 3pt % and have guys who are very good, even elite, at making them....Why would we not want to take more if 3pts are better than 2's?

The Cavs and Celtics are #4 and #1 in the league in 3PT attempts...Thunder #10....they are the 3 top teams in offensive rating, the 3 best teams in the NBA, and consensus contenders.

We are 4th to last in attempts and our offense looks goofy against good teams... Yet the fact we are still 5th in offensive rating shows we could just be scratching the surface of our offensive potential...with the right offensive system, we could become #1 and have an unstoppable offense that leaves teams scrambling trying to figure out how to adjust and defend us....and they would never, EVER try a zone against us. :lol:



Multiple players on this team are shooting at a decent percentage. KAT is a 42% 3 point shooter

We should be bombing from outside and letting Brunson go 1 on 1, letting OG attack, and giving Mikal mid range looks in between 3PAs

The only thing I care about this game is defending the three.

Do a respectable job holding them below their three-point shooting percentage. That will open up the path to beating them.
