They just have to hope the 3 pointers keep falling. Its all miss or make without a high percentage grind mode.This is another of HF's gripes. It doesn't actually have to be other players in the game. The players in the game just have to be told to change up the gameplan to incorporate higher percentage shots. Threes are not high %, they work well when you have lots of time on the clock to recover from a miss, not so much when you don't. I say that and still believe there is a place for the 3 to be taken, they just have to be wide open and getting a guy in rhythm so as to make it no different than how he's practiced the shot over and over.

What if you added stats? 40%/12.5%/66.7%
What if you added context. Compared to the other ballhandlers. Barea and Wright combined for 1 point in 39 minutes. Not a single made FG. It wasn´t a good game from Luka but the other options were even worse.
Guard play was really bad except for THJ and again Luka at least had the injury excuse. The Mavs were +10 with him on the floor. What happened when JJB and Wright were running the show? I am not a big fan of Lukas playing hero ball but if the other option is Wright refusing to drive or shoot at all I´ll take it.
