    Those first two PJ 3's of this half were enormous.

    Well all I know is the Rockets are 5th to last in open 3 pt shooting percentage. It ain't good. It's a possible explanation. I'm not saying it's definitive.

    We're still generating open shots. Our offense is fine.

    Well then it's in spite of our open 3 pt shooting percentages for the season because that is relatively bad compared to the rest of the NBA.

    EG needs to keep going to rim and dont shot a 3 until he gets 15 points.

    Just checked the box score can’t watch while at work but did Harden sneak out to a strip club last night?

    Dont know why you wouldn’t include the numbers for wide open looks as well. And only putting the rank doesn’t give you the context necessary. In 18/19 they were 9th in the league at open 3s but actual percentage wise it was worse than the prior two year when they were 17th and 13th.

    but anyway

    3pt % on “open looks”
    19/20 : 32.5(25th)
    18/19 : 34.8(9th)
    17/18 : 35.0(17th)
    16/17 : 36.0(13th)

    I don’t think this standing around theory is it. We weren’t a good 3 point shooting team period this year.

    Harden is not engaged on offense, is there a strip club in the bubble?

    I want someone to injure CP3, no lie.
