i was at the game and several other ones this season,why do we pass up open threes? tonite i saw sura,tmac,barry,james and wesley pass up open looks to get zero out of that possesion,i understand looking for the best shot,but there isnt one after the passed up shot
unsure of themselves, afraid of shouldering respnsibilites, lost their confidence,............ need me to go on? at this level of competition, it's really come down to a mental game. If you were not mentally prepared, you would be screwed, not by others though.
BECAUSE NOBODY "POINT GUARD" PASSED THEM THE BALL IN A MANNER IN WHICH THEY COULD GET A NICE NATURAL FEEL FOR THE SHOT IN RHYTHM. Or their arms were tired from shooting so many...
because a wide open shot 9with a defender runnin at you) may not be what your lookin for, when yyou can make that extra pass and get a wide open man with no defenders running at you. And ofcourse that extra pass could lead to a wide open layup, which is always a higher percentage shot.
Dunno We got good shooters that is a major difference from past years I think living and dying by the 3 would not kill us most times Rocket River
because they're mostly unselfish. because they've been taught to make the extra pass. in general, that's a good thing. it's largely contributed to their success this season, and particularly so in the first 2 games of the series. and it worked for these guys:
