i know im a broken record on this one but it's 22-4. we are 1/8 from behind the arc.
this strategy- if it doesnt work- and id challenge anyone to find me a game where we hit many threes early and beat a good team- means you fall into the hole (see above). and then what are your options- to take more threes. of course, those are desperation threes, with short time, and the defense knows its coming and presses out. lowering the chances youll hit them and catch up.
and so its no wonder we end up usually 8 for 30 or something like that. and lose. sometimes, by only a few. here, have 22 free possessions on us and lets see who wins.
there's no other option. stop shooting threes, as a strategy, so early in the game, without moving the ball and taking high % shots. there's no other option.
