    Our offense is **** when we can't make 3s and/or teams overplay it.

    Step in and confuse the D. We're unpredictably predictable.

    ???

    3*.35 is 1.05
    2*.45 is 0.9

    I'm saying despite the fact the 3 has higher ppp value , it's not always the better shot.

    That's pretty much the worst offensive game this team is capable of.
    Lets hope it is.

    Grizz started out crisp then got sloppy.

    We started out sloppy then gradually tightened up.

    Thats the problem with Mike style. When 3s are not falling and doesn't like you taking 2pt shots, The team is used to just doing what their doing when the shots are falling but when its not its gonna look ugly. Heck Chris Paul is just shooting 3s now lol

    I think that Harden should be taking 6-7 threes a game on average and substitute some of those forced, unnecessary threes with some looks from midrange...I think it would help his rhythm and field goal percentage

    these days he's launching around 10 threes a game whether he's hot or not and has damn near abandoned his midrange game which used to be money

    Is it my unreasonable enduring optimism (re: homerism) or does Eric look like he has an extra jolt in his step? Last season his feet seemed heavier on both ends. Hmm. Hope he stays as fresh as the peppers in my garden.

    Being able to train continuously for a year looks like it helped him a lot.

    Perhaps CP made him take the food sensitivity test as well

    Harden opening up his midrange is the difference between harden being a top 5 offensive player and being the # 1 offensive player IMO .

    I believe that if James takes a smarter shot selection ( meaning open midrange) and increases his defensive intensity he can be the best player in the NBA ...

    I'm not taking about being the MVP , I'm talking about legit being the best player .

    We're in midseason form already. The problem with misses is they're not as good as makes.

    Elaborate I don't believe u

    I love Hubie, and use to enjoy watching games he'd work. But damn, it's his time to go off the air. Replace him... he's saying very stupid things.
