shooting 3s work when you have Steph/Klay and KD. And it worked for us when we had Dirk/JET/Peja and occasional streaks from Kidd/Barea/Stevenson but people forget the midrange and post/layup baskets that are needed and gone to in the clutch.
I guess TV glorifies the ''good" three or jumper (only if it goes in over good defense because it can be played over as a highlight.
But when defenses clamp down and you need good play sets to get multiple players moving to create the best look. When the team knows who's getting the ball and is willing to double, there has to be a release in the play other than jack a 3. A backdoor cut, and fake and drive/floater, something.
So many times tonight and in general guys catch the ball and attack the closeout to pass back to the perimeter like robots programmed that 3 is better than 2. Rick's got some work to do.
