re: Putting Zion’s efficiency into perspective.

Our problem isn’t hitting 3’s tbh. It’s stuff like colliding into each other on defense and giving up 5 second chance points on plays we had 2 rebounders in the area on. Or fouling a guy weakly for no reason on a layup and changing a 2 pt play into a 3 point play. Or letting the opponent roll the ball all the way up thw court with the clock stopped 5-6 times in the 4th quarter to steal extra possessions when they are down. We do a minimum of 8-12 mind numbingly borderline retarded things a game that prevent us from being up an insurmountable 25-30 vs 10-15 points which is easily blowable if the refs blow a call or 2 and we simply go cold from the field for 4-5 possessions.

This team really isn’t that far away from being great while being average at the 3 ball. These games usually boil down to the little details that young teams have a hard time focusing on.

Hopefully our guys get tired of it and can hone in and focus. When we do that, we are a top 10-12 team in the league that can truly beat anyone on any given night, even as young and oddly constructed as we are.

As shitty as Ingram played last night, we mostly lost due to the 22 second chance points the Nuggets had, half of which were just completely inexcusable.
