What we have seen here brehs, is ugly ass basketball :hhh:.Looks like a middle school game, just players shooting random 3s with no movement, and too stubborn to do anything else

fukk this analytics shyt. Rockets showed tonight how ugly it looks when those shots aint falling. Gotta admit the Celtics and Cavs did the same thing in game 7


I wanna see movement, I wanna see cuts, I wanna see passes out of a post up, the elbow jumper, free throw line jumper after a rebound, etc


I don't wanna hear no dumbass analytic nerds say anything from their cubicles again :russ:

not unless you make the midrange shots worth 3 pts as well

if youre a volume shooter and shoot 50% from the 2 youre getting the same amount of points as if youre shooting 33% from the 3...you gotta understand that math doesnt lie...and making 3s at 33% if you have a shot is generally easier than shooting 50% from the midrange

7 for 44.

All that math has to go out the window, and common sense has to kick in at some point. There's no justifying missing 37 threes.

A lot of those misses were open :manny:. What they should’ve done after a while was try to get to the rim when it was clear the shots weren’t falling.
