It's absolutely a problem that BI only took 1 3PA. It clogs the lane and makes it damn near impossible to hit even league average in 3PAs.

Yes BI shot well last night, but Cleveland is happy to let him hit those shots because they know that 3>2. If BI isnt going to shoot 3s then that leaves 2 guys in our rotation(CJ and Trey) to take nearly all of our 3PAs.



BI was our best creator last night. People talk about point-Zion, but we depend way more on point-BI most of the time. As I've described ad nauseum, unless you want BI to start taking a bunch of 3s off the dribble, he isn't going to get many open 3 attempts. He's the one, along with Zion, that's creating all of the attempts.

You act like BI is the only forward in the NBA that has playmaking duties. Plenty of forwards also playmake and are able to get up more 3PAs than BI. He just doesn’t want to. We don’t want or need the player you just described as BI. That kind of player doesn’t fit on this team at all.

Zion had the same amount of potential assists as BI last night.

Curious, when Zion has the ball, who do you think has more gravity as a catch and shoot 3pt shooter, Trey or BI?

For sure, and that's why Point Zion is explosive but not sustainable and Point BI a little less and more so. It's not the most concerning aspect for the team, that would be post-play. Pels half-court and crunch-time offense leaves so much money on the table.
