    Seems like his new years resolution was to tone it down a notch ;)

    Haha nah just going to hammer home the fact how much @Hemingway is a little b*tch.

    I pointed out with facts how badly incorrect his take was.

    He just couldn't handle it and wanted to insult.

    So now as mentioned im going to highlight just how garbage he is.

    But I am going to take a break from Clutchfans. I thought i was done having to deal with stupid when Failen was traded. But its a never ending struggle when you've got people like Hemingway reminding you on a daily basis just how stupid the average fan is.

    There was a recent podcast with Nate Duncan and Dave DuFour talking about NBA trends. And one of them is that good defensive teams teams are more willing to help off of the decent but limited 3pt shooters, aka the PJ Tucker/Bruce Bowen type shooters. Basically the idea is that these players don't take enough 3s to be able to punish defenses for helping off of them, even if their percentage is good. Not an issue in the regular season, but it will be interesting to see if Jabari/Reed need to play more in the playoffs, given that Okogie/DFS/Tari all low volume 3pt shooters.

    Just in general, another high level 3pt shooter would be really useful for this team.

    Tari despite avreaging only 22 minutes a game makes just the same amount of 3 pointers as Jabari (34 mpg) and KD (36 mpg)

    Reed will need to play more minutes

    And DFS will eventually play more as well

    Tari is an interesting case because traditionally he is this kind of player, but he's definitely looked better in the limited time this season. I still find his windup a bit slow and this is reflected by the fact that he basically only shoot when wide open. So I'm skeptical for now, but do admit he may improve enough by end of season.

    DFS however has always been a low volume 3pt shooter. And just low volume shooter in general. I don't expect him to really pick things up being in his 30s and all.
