Some 3P volatility is just normal variance and some is related to defense. And by defense I don’t just mean whether the shot was open or guarded. It also means the location of the shot and how rushed or pressured the shooter feels to get his shot off quickly or to make it.

Sometimes I think you have to look at more than 3p% to explain what happened in a game.

“In the gym, most players shoot over 40%, I am sure.”

Are you referring to NBA players, or to guys named Hermie and Franky at the local Y?

Yeah… all we need to do is to get them to cut Wemby instead of Sochan and then we’ll have a guy who can close the lane with 6 blocks and 17 boards. We can’t defend them the same way SA can.

We probably watched different games last week when we were humiliated by Detroit at home and Cade was getting anywhere and everywhere he wanted with no resistance whatsoever. And I guess the reason they outrebounded us by a ton without their top two centers is because we didn’t have Wemby on our roster. Right.

Spurs won tonight cause they were 18 for 40 from 3pt compared to Detroit shooting 7 for 36.

Correct, but numbers don’t mean much unless they are contextualized. In the gym, most players shoot over 40%, I am sure. Why doesn’t this translate into real games?

LOL At least you’re in good company. You’re not the only one saying it. 🙂

Precious with 22/12 tonight (sigh). Yeah, I know, I know…….much easier to do that for the pathetic Kings. Much like Yabu’s recent stats.

Yes, SNWSIT, they had a plan, contained Cade, protected the paint, and made Detroit feel off balance. I wish our team had done the same against them.

I mean Wendy being at the rim definitely helps on defense . It allows a team to play way more aggressive because any mistake will be cleaned up behind you.

The Knicks have Towns as back line defense
