Do you know how difficult it is for the whole team to hit 60% on 2s while taking a substantial more amount?

Do you konw how difficult it is for the whole team to hit 40% from 3 while taking a substantial more amount?

We are one 5th best in the league at 38%. You think that number just gets to magically stay there if we take 8 more 3's a game? League average is 36.6%
36.6 on 3's is equivalent to 54.4% from 2. League average is 54.5%
We shoot 55% from 2.

If you were following what i just said, basically the league average for 2's and 3's is the same when it comes to efficiency, and we are better than league average at both.

2s producing more kobe assists- now you’re banking on missing a shot, rebounding and making that shot again.

well we are 8th in the league in 2nd chance points......

The whole NBA depends on 3s.

as i said, you'll live and die by the 3, especially in the playoffs if that's all your offense is.
You're more than likely going to take a few less 3's per game in the playoffs, and you're more than likely going to hit them at lower rate than you did in the regular season.

and last seasons winner took 31 3's a game in the regular season, and 30 in the playoffs. Their % stayed at 38% for both.
The Celtics went from 43 a game at 38% to 38 a game at 36%. They lost to another non 3 point shooting team in Miami who attempted 35 a game at 34% in the regular season then shot 34 a game at 38% in the playoffs.

but sure, the whole nba depends on the 3 despite two teams making the finals last year that dont shoot 3's.
