    Cholly and Jimmy are gonna need to keep knocking those down and hopefully even improve if our offense is going to work the way it's designed. Last year the team really lived and died by the three, and I expect us to be no different this season.

    Doing pretty good so far....maybe he can be in top 10 if he keeps up the good work.

    Did you know that last year, JJ and Mobes were both top five in 3s made. This is what an inside/outside offense can do. Well at least for Ward and JJ. With T-Mac it seems like it's more of a "I'm going to pull up for a three because I'm just that good" offense.

    I think we r the only team that has played 4 games? i.e. at least 33% more than others.

    True. But I don't doubt that we'll have a couple of guys in the top 10 when the season ends. T-Mac and JJ most likely because they did it last year. Ward is a bit questionable, because who knows how much playing time he'll lose when Sura gets healthy. But if Ward keeps shooting like he's been doing the past couple of games, I think JVG would be hard-pressed to sit him down.

    But if the PG trio of Ward, Lue and later Sura combines to make 150+ 3s this year while shooting a decent percentage, then this team will be in very good shape.

    Unfortunately, there are just so few crap teams in the west anymore. GS and the Clippers are probably the only teams in the west that won't pose much of a challenge. The east is garbage, and I expect to finish the season without losing to another eastern team.

    IMO, for some reason, we always have trouble against GS and LA Clips, or CRAP teams. Last year it took Andre Miller's 2 inexplicable lane violations to win it. And GS spanked us down the stretch. Hopefully we beat the teams we should, but it's not a given that we'll beat them or that they "don't pose much of a challenge."

    Same thing applied to Memphis and Sacramento, look what we did to them, beat 'em. Here's hoping we can do the same to the other teams we have problems with. :cool:

    orlando just lost to the bobcats! steve said something to the effect of "we werent ready for them". i think there is alot to be said for the fact that steve and the old rockets just didnt take crap teams very seriously and we had a habit of losing games that we should have won.

    The difference between TMac and other player is: TMac can just make a three with ease because he is that good. The other players need being setup.
