    The product of simple execution often gets mistakenly blamed for bad offense, bad coaching, bad system so on and so on. If guys don't just simply hit their open shot cf's goes and blames all of the latter

    People are too overly simplistic
    THE SHOT DIDN'T GO IN . . .IT WAS A BAD SHOT!!!!
    The possession did not garner any points. . .. it was a bad possession
    These are not always true

    “The floor’s so open,” said Tucker, who has made 50 percent of his 3s in his past six games after hitting 26.7 percent in the previous 26 games. “You got James (Harden), you got Russ (Westbrook) attacking. Somebody’s got to help. They’re not letting them play one-on-one. Once you think about swing, swing, somebody’s going to be open. You take a person off every time with the doubles. We just move the ball out of it. You get a wide-open shot every time.”

    “It more natural. We’re watching film and reading and sitting down with James and coach and trying to figure out different options and different counters to eliminate them trapping. It puts us in a better position to score.”

    Of the eight times a team has made at least 25 3-pointers in a game, six have been by the Rockets, including two this season. They do not expect it to be the last.

    If the Rockets want to improve outside shooting Moory should be scouting the Jackrabbits of the Summit League...

    Just imagine if Harden actually would break out of his 3 point shooting slump just a little bit more than he has infrequently since 2020 arrived.

    but but but Golden State came up with the pace-and-space, three point shooting, and small ball ideas. [/Steve Kerr and social media fans]

    (it has always been Mike D'Antoni.)

    What the hell

    We either hesitate and wait for someone to cover
    Pass it to a person that is covered
    Dribble into coverage
    Or turn the ball over

    We cannot hit open shots
