They are for sure for a couple reasons. One is unfortunate in that we tend to play like front runners (Luka is the worst offender of this) so bad shooting leads to bad energy. The other is something that Karrala highlighted well on his last podcast. Missing a bunch of threes leads to a ton of long rebounds/transition points for the other team. It’s something I think doesn’t get enough conversation in the high volume three point shooting era and the reason you see so many blowouts and huge comebacks these days.
