    OK, this parallelogram or trapezoid or WHATEVER the heck this top secret offense that rudy is practicing...How much reliance does it have on the three point shot??

    I have really not been a big fan of the three pointer in recent years...It was fine when we had the "dump it in the post" offense, but it really takes away from a motion oriented offense we're running now. The three pointer works against a team in two ways. If a team starts off hot from beyond the arc, they continue to jack up more and risk hitting a cold streak...If they start off cold from the arc, they continue to shoot more to get back in the game...

    So, what's the story...is there an abundance of three pointers in our future?? I hope not...

    wow... A-train...

    are you having the same dreams as me!

    lol! you're right. the amount of threes we shoot is the best measure of how well we are learning flexible offense.

    The three pointer is the easy goat. We were 3 for 20-something against the Heat when I walked out of Tuesday's game and 0fer something (8 or 9?) when I walked out of the game tonight.

    Only two times I left early all season.
