re: #1 problem with this team IMO

You still struggling with the concept?

It’s really not that difficult to grasp.

Do we need more examples?

Jrue back from injury, starts off hot, is hitting, so he goes ahead and fires away ten threes that game, hitting 7. Next game he isn’t as hot from deep, so he only shoots 5, misses all but 1. Next game struggles again, takes just 4, misses them. Next game he gets hot again, fires away 8 that games and hits 50%. Next game is solid as well, takes 7, hits three. Jrue and the team are smart enough, often enough, to go with the hot hand and go elsewhere when it’s not as hot on nights. Do a good enough job at finding the hot hands and feeding them and that is how players that can be individually streaky(certainly not all of them are, and certainly not all of them are the same level) can nonetheless produce a highly efficient three point shooting team. Consider in that Gentry progressively adjusted his lineup to feature more and more of the roster with the capacity to hit the three, something not every roster has, and it’s not that difficult to figure out.

Though once again we seem to be in this place where I was complimenting the team, complimenting individuals for knowing how to play to their strengths game to game, but because it wasn’t some sort of non-critical sunshine pumping you get triggered and lash out.
