    They were 4-11 last year.

    This year they are 0-1.

    I suspect that they are going to be even more live/die by the 3 than last year.

    Yep, this is 100% spot on, you live by it you die by it - would be nice to have something else to go to when the 3s aren't falling though.

    But wasn't that about the same record as our wins for >25%. :(

    fwiw, using same criteria

    GSW was 1-3 last year ... 0-1 in the playoffs

    So, kinda holds to your trend, except they had less games of <25%, so ... guess they were just better.

    fwiw fwiw:
    Spurs were 5-7
    Cavs were 5-5

    The Rockets were 37-30 when 25% or higher last year, right?

    Which puts you at 45 wins barely missing the lottery and getting tossed 1st round in the playoffs. :(

    Wouldn't say that's "Living" at the 3.

    They had a TS% of 58% which is pretty good. The problem was not scoring despite their poor 3 point shooting. It would help if they played any defense.

    You don't go out and add Pringles, Anderson and Eric Gordon in the off-season if this an organizational goal.

    You're right - they definitely get more deathy when they miss a ton though.
