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
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
If we have outliers like Reed and KD, sure. A mid range for KD is like a layup. But we didnt have KD previously so it didnt make any sense before.
The best way to close with 3 seconds on the clock is still throwing the ball up alley oop style and hoping Jimmy Butler is catching it.
This was some privilege class problems back then. Talking about "mid-range" was a luxury issue, with this '18 elite team and James Harden all time great season. With CP3 the mid-range god already a solution. They didn't even need mid-range *regular season I still have similar belief. That first 80-90 possessions, balloon up the points much a possible, final 10-20 possessions, be versatile to middies for closing out games. But still need shot makers to do it *Don't want to revisit this team's 27 straight 3's misses to lose in playoffs that year But this team actually proved the point of what lack of situational adaptability from 3 point struggles can do*
