I told y'all muh'fukkas that Pop's being left behind.....

[CHICAGO]

2015- a difference of 19 threes across 6 games (Love & Irving hurt)
2017- a difference of 13 across 5 games (a no-name player named Kevin Durant joined the team)
2018- a difference of 10 across 4 games (no Irving plus they still had that guy Kevin Durant doing some little things here and there)








2016- a difference of 82 threes across 7 games. Warriors up 3-1, two games at home. What happened? Not enough threes?

HAHAHA

HES DONE

I'm not saying "more threes is the solution" in a vacuum, but since you're simplifying my argument: you're ignoring the rule and focusing on the anomaly.

If we go by your logic, shooting more threes isn't going to win 100% of games, but it's going to win more games than not.

You're bringing up ONE out of four series', yet I'm telling you the Warriors won THREE out of four series' shooting more threes - how do you think it makes sense for you to point out ONE series as if it counters THREE series?

Is one greater than three now?

Let's take it further -

Cavs over the last four postseasons:

2018 playoffs:

Cavs shot more threes than the Celtics, Raptors, and Pacers and won all those series'
Cavs shot less threes than the Warriors and lost that series

2017 playoffs:

Cavs shot more threes than the Celtics, Raptors, and Pacers and won all those series'
Cavs shot less threes than the Warriors and lost that series

2016 playoffs:

Cavs shot more threes than the Pistons, Raptors, and Hawks and won all those series'
Cavs shot less threes than the Warriors and won that series

2015 playoffs:

Cavs shot more threes than the Hawks, Bulls, Celtics and won all those series'
Cavs shot less threes than the Warriors and lost that series

The Cavaliers won 12 out of 12 series shooting more threes
The Cavs won 1 out of 4 series shooting less threes

In all the 12 series' where the Cavs shot more threes than their opponents they won all of them, whereas in the four series' they shot less threes, they only won one of them.

Checkmate.

"Spurs - #1 in midrange attempts and #30 in 3-pt attempts.

You don't think taking more 3s, instead of all those long-2s would be more beneficial to their offense? They're only hitting 41% of those long-2s, if they replaced the majority of those long-2s with 3s and hit them at 33%, that would be the equivalent of hitting two-point shots at 50%. Isn't 50% on two-point shots better than 41% on two-point shots? Doesn't taking more 3-pt shots instead of long-2s force the defense to cover more distance, exert more energy, and therefore open up more space for driving lanes, post-ups, and general 2-pt shots?"

@CHICAGO

You're telling me that the Spurs have it right, and EVERY single other team has it wrong? You're telling me shooting more long-2s than 3s is better when no other team other than the Spurs is doing it?



Why am I not surprised it's all the 90s dikkriders in here trying to prop up that era of play - they can't admit to 3 > 2 because it'll blow their entire shyt up.

 

[CHICAGO]

But wait, the Warriors shot more threes in 2016 by a large margin. 252 threes, not 10 or 20, or even 40 more, 82 more than the Cavs! But they choked and lost? How?

And since they shot so many threes in 2016, why did they feel a need to beg Kevin Durant to come play with them?

And somehow they shot way less threes in 2017 and 2018 than in 2016, yet they won those years. How is that possible?

Surly Kevin Durant can't make that much of a difference can he?

I mean it's not like he won Finals MVP in 2017 and 2018 did he?

Unfortunately Gregg Popovich wouldn't know, since the game of basketball has passed him by

Rockets had one of the most efficient offenses of all-time last season (regardless of the fundamental flaws they have in generating looks), and they made it to the WCF off the back of it. If they didn't take that approach on offense (prioritizing 3s and shots in the paint), they wouldn't have had one of the most efficient offenses of all-time, and they most probably wouldn't have made it to the WCF.

And I'll just drop this here right quick -


It was a statistical anomaly, not a lining of the rule.

Nearly every single team over the last 3-4 seasons that has made the Conference Finals has been near the top in 3-pt attempts.

You starting to sound like Phil Jackson when he made a fool of himself -

"All those four teams ended up making the Conference Finals. We all saw how successful the Triangle was in NY. "

Are you gonna keep on exposing yourself or are you done here?

I save my negs for racist but that's just me.

He keeps listing stats on 3's but until an underdog team wins the championship by virtue of shooting more threes it's all coincidental. Golden State doesn't win because they shoot more threes they win because they are a better team top to bottom than everyone else in the league.

ROCKETS ARE 1ST IN 3P ATTEMPTS

It's all coincidental?



The IQ of this board plummets every single day. I'm amazed that grown folks are having a hard time grasping something so basic.

i) We're less than halfway into the season
ii) The Rockets have a better offensive rating, and most importantly the starting unit has a far greater offensive rating (the Spurs' ORTG is mainly off their second unit which funnily enough has high 3-pt activity. Go figure).
ii) The Rockets have been inconsistent, had depth issues, roster changeover, and injuries.
iii) The Rockets had the #1 record last season and they were 1st in 3-pt attempts, as well as having one of the most efficient offenses of all-time
iv) The Rockets just blew out the Spurs by 30 points - attempting 54 threes to the Spurs' 28 threes.

The Rockets won 65 games last season (most in franchise history) while attempting the most 3s, with one of the most efficient offenses of all time, and yet you're coming with this weak ass argument.

You're done here. Don't quote me for a few days until you work on your shyt.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I tell this muh'fukka that nearly every team that has made it to the Conference Finals over the last few seasons has been near the top in 3-pt attempts, and to counter that, he brings up LESS THAN HALF A SEASON. Not even one season, but less than half of one.



This nikka needs to be in the running for the WOAT. By himself.

Does that make sense to you? You do see that taking more 3s than long-2s is more beneficial to the offense, rather than the contrary?

 

[1thouwow]

Let's use y'all logic and apply it to Blake Griffn:

Blake takes six 3-pt attempts per game and hits them at 36% (which is the equivalent of hitting two-point shots at around 56%), but TheColi thinks he shouldn't shoot those 3s, instead, he should be replacing them with long-2s, despite the fact it will shrink the floor space, which will in turn decrease scoring opportunities and offensive efficiency, affect Drummond's effectiveness/minutes (as well as other players' minutes and lineups), and the most obvious one of all, there's no way in hell that Blake could hit long-2s at 56% on the same volume.

Coli nikkas mathematicians now

And to you it is merely a coincidence that the Warriors have 2 of the greatest 3pt shooters of all time on their roster in Curry and Thompson?

We all have disagreements but how is Golden State's three point shooting and the spacing it creates...how is that not a major reason for their success?

OP went to my profile page to insult me

2016 Warriors shot 82 more 3s than Cavs, had a 3-1 lead with two home games, and still lost

252 threes and lost? That's not enough threes? Why would the Warriors beg Kevin Durant to come play with them? They must want to shoot at least 300 3s in the Finals

But they shot less threes in 2017 and 2018 Finals yet they won. But it wasn't cuz of that average guy, Kevin Durant

The OP still thinks he knows more about basketball than Gregg Popovich

​

I'm wondering why the Warriors in 2016 since they shot 252 threes in that Finals, 82 more than the Cavs, had to beg Kevin Durant to play with them. I mean they shot enough threes, didn't they?

OP really thinks he knows more about basketball than Gregg Popovich
