Pastor Dillon Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Murray/Harris/Porter/Milsap/Plumlee probably makes the playoffs in the East all out tonight. I’m not feeling confident now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinneasGage Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Terrence Ross just put up 13 points in a two minute stretch to close the third quarter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) Tatum out with a groin strain. Hope it isn't a high level strain. Last year Lebron missed 13 games with that. Edited January 23, 2020 by resilient part 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11sanchez11 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Eddie Johnson (Suns PbP guy) spends every broadcast, every gm passive aggressively saying how valuable the midrange gm is and how much he doesn't like 3s. And is way more aggressive on Twitter lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't picture all-time great players like Pat Ewing , Hakeem, Duncan, K Malone staying out on the 3 point line vs pounding the lane and using their exceptional mid-range shot. damn Dirk started out a bigtime 3 point shooter but became his best with mid range fadeaways same for Jordan/ Kobe/Paul Pierce etc...

beekay414 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 The mid-range shot is proven to be the least efficient shot in basketball. The only way you should allow it is if you have someone that's proficient at it. Otherwise, it's 3s or at the rim. It's really that simple. For example, the Bucks have Khris Middleton. We tried to make him all 3 and layup but he's much more comfortable (and formidable) when he's allowed to use his mid-range arsenal. Now, if Eric Bledsoe and Donte DiVincenzo start settling for mid-range shots, you shoot them into the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Speaking of 3 pointers... Lonzo Ball still takes way way too many.. I don't care what improvement he made to his form.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resilient part 2 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 just for the record I want my guards /wings shooting more 3s than Midrange, but big men I would prefer opposite unless their skill set applies .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You literally have to shoot 50% from mid-range to equal out to 35% from 3. Example. You go 10-20 from mid-range but 7-20 from 3, you come out 1 point ahead on the same amount of shots. How many people out there shoot 50% consistently from mid-range while 35% is roughly league average from 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get those numbers..which is why I mentioned guards and wing players, But I also want my big man close enough to get offensive rebounds on misses from himself and others instead of floating around the 3 point line where he has almost no chance for a rebound. So I am not really disagreeing but rather making a bit a philosophical preference on different positions.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
