    We won the game on the glass. They beat us in both TS% and eFG%. We had nearly a 30 ORB%, that was the game.

    What a strong tool. Late in games when they run you off and you’re known to just take 3s it’s hard. This midrange game is what makes me more confident about this team

    Harden and CP3 went midrange b2b. I am not sure how often we do that.

    Influence of CP3. He has had a lot of mid-ranges to ice the game this year.

    This whole debate is 'duh'. Being too predictable is bad? Sometimes you have to take shots that the defense gives you instead of forcing contested threes? what? no way

    Of course it’s obvious...to everyone but some dummies on CF. It’s not even arguing for midrange, it’s ”lets be versatile and unpredictable”—which some here still dispute cough*Fisher*cough

    i am tellin you they should sprinkle that midrange all over the game... harden and cp3 often forgot they have this tool at their disposal... it would open their drives and 3 pt looks through the roof
