					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;If the most unsustainable thing about our legendary title run is that we shot 1.8% above our season average for 19 games, then that title run looks pretty damn sustainable.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Not really!  It&#039;s less than a standard deviation over this sample and it explains a small portion of our dominance.  If we had shot our regular season percentage on the same 640 attempts we&#039;d have ended up with 11 fewer makes and 33 fewer points, assuming we never got a putback on any of the misses.

Our cumulative margin of victory on the playoffs was 283 points.  Our positive 3pt variance accounted for just under 12% of that margin.

As I said, if that&#039;s the most unsustainable thing that happened it looks pretty damn sustainable.  Yes OG shot out of his mind but Hart also cratered from .413 to .326.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On Katz&#039;s podcast today (even if you don&#039;t subscribe to the Patreon, this part is in the free preview), he expresses deep skepticism that LeBron would have actually come here if we hadn&#039;t won the title. 

1. Jalen&#039;s not the kind of guy who&#039;s into recruiting other guys to come to his team. His attitude is wanting to win with whoever happens to be there. Not that he&#039;s opposed to trades and free agents and such, just that he&#039;s not going to actively assist in making upgrades. 

2. Leon&#039;s not the type to be into the whole &quot;LeBron James experience,&quot; as Fred put it, and Dolan&#039;s media policies would have made it extremely unlikely that the team would want to bring in a guy intending to make a documentary about his final season(s) in the NBA.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Aside from making a lot of them, we are a really smart 3pt shooting team. In the playoffs, we rarely heaved threes early in the shot clock and were able to find our shooters in their best spots, even against tremendous defenses (look at what OG was able to do on threes from the corner, for instance.) Got to hand it to Brown. He came up huge for us.]]></description>
