CACALYTICS STRIKE AGAIN
now we got nikkas in here saying
"the analytics dont say its a bad shot, they actually want kwahi, booker, paul, durant to take the shot! just not pj tucker!"
so you need to pay some nerd thats never played basketball before 100k to make an algorithm that tells you devin booker should take a wider variety of shots than pj tucker

Exactly. Muthafukkas stating the obvious like we wanted Brian Scalabrine taking the shot. CP3 just flame broiled Denver with the mid range. They were guarding him heavy around the perimeter but they kept leaving that spot inside open and he killed them with it.

Is it any surprise the dumbest muh'fukkas on this board are running up and down this thread thinking they've got a win.

The real mid range shorty
The logic overall was always that the average player is not efficient enough at shooting them to justify the volume they were being taken around the league and that the 3-pointer was more efficient. Not that they should never be taken by any player, ever. That's it, that's all. Chris Paul is not an average mid-range shooter, and neither is Kawhi, KD, Kyrie, etc. that logic don't apply to them.

The problem with that logic is it assumes that the three or the layup is always freely available. Sometimes it not. Sometimes you might only have that mid range, so you better work on that sh*t so you have it in your tool box come 3rd and 4th quarter. It’s better to take a two if you have a clear look over a forced three or a layup in a clogged paint.
37 points and did not attempt 1 three pointer
fakkit @Gil Scott-Heroin will up this thread if suns lose next rd
And you'll still be on my dikk, no matter what happens in the next round.

something that actually bothers me about watching basketball in 2021 is how many of these dudes who can shoot between 30-40% at 3 can't shoot a midrange shot to save their life.
especially one that they got on their own that wasn't catch and shoot.
It's because the players are told not to shoot it. If the players start shooting mid-range jumpers and they miss, the coach will more likely bench them.
This is funny because a lot of these coaches just let their teams go 2-20 from the 3pt range.
