100%. The focus to make the shot instead of looking for a foul is also important.

I don't mind when Paolo misses, I just wish he would miss differently. If you are always front rimming, put some more power into it!

Gee other team doesn't make as many shots when we put a hand up. Defense is such a novel idea

It was a layup drill man. They were getting beat down the floor. And every 3 was wide open. They wouldn't have gotten hot if defense was played
