The Blazers need to score more 3 point field goals (swish3s) than the opponent to win games this year, as this game 1 clearly showed us. NBA teams can be expected to increase swish3 FGAs this year, with the Warriors trying 69 of them in the preseason against us. Blazers will need to average at least 18 made swish3s per game,

In Game 1 Oct 20 vs Sac Kings, Blazers lost, scoring 12 of 35 vs Sac 17 of 41. That gave Sac a 15 point margin and contributed to the 121 to 124 loss. To win, we need to account for and improve swish3 shooting. And we need to play tight defense to prevent 8 of 9 swish3 (2nd half) shooting by Barnes!

CJ led scoring 6 of 11, RoCo scored 2 of 7, Nurk and Nas each scored 1 of 1, Simons scored 1 of 2, Norm scored 1 of 3. Larry was 0 of 1 and Dame was 0 of 9. This was an off game for Dame. Let's hope we do not see another one like that!

Blazers allowed 38 Sac points scored in each of the 2nd and 3rd Q, including several poorly defended layups and swish3s. The defense must progress and can certainly be more active and relentless.

Swish3 scoring by CJ, Nurk, and Nas deserves acknowledgement. Let it continue! Practice hard, learn from the weak points, gain proficiency, and bring intensity to the Suns game (Sat) and win it, Blazers!

Dont need to create more. Just make more.
Dame hits one of his, its OT. Two and we would have won the game.

i think thats exactly how it works.
How do you think it works?

our best player had one of his worst games ever. I dont expect that to be a trend. If he plays average without even needing Dame time, we still win.

You’re saying that if Lillard had made just two threes, we would have won, but that doesn’t account for the natural ebb and flow of the game. No one knows how Sacramento would have reacted if Lillard had made one three or even all of his threes. They might have played a different style of game, or played even harder, or done something to limit our offense in other ways. All kinds of things can happen during a game, and none of them are knowable after the fact.

if he made that last three, no time for reaction. Were in overtime. That's a knowable fact.

2-9 vs 0-9 i doubt much change would have happened. 7-9? Sure.
 
I really hope Dame ups his swish3 conversions tomorrow night. 0-9 is not gonna do it.

You were. You specifically said it doesn't work like that?

I mean i get your glow of game. And that would be legit to me if we are talking about dame going 3-4 early on. But he was 0-7 with the last two coming in the fourth. He makes those two, we win.
 
The Blazers won the swish3 contest Oct 23 over the Suns with 21 of 50 vs the Suns 9 of 28 in the 134-105 blowout win. This was much more like the play level that we wanted, a good game for CJ, good bench support, better ball movement, better and more consistent defense, and less turnovers!

CJ led scoring 6 of 11 (again!), Simons scored 4 of 8, Larry scored 2 of 2, Norm, Roco, and Ben each scored 2 of 4, Dame scored 2 of 7, and Nas scored 1 of 4. All swish3s were missed by Gregg, 3, Nurk, 2, and Elleby, 1.

Using swish3 shooting of 42% is a winning offensive strategy, and justifies the 53% of FG taken as swish3 attempts. While 18 scored swish3s may be enough to win most games, 20 is even better! Go Blazers! Beat the LA Clippers!

The Blazers lost the swish3 contest Oct 25 to the Clippers 8 of 37 to the Clippers 14 of 39.in the 86-116 blowout loss. This was a game of terrible sloppy play with 30 turnovers! and a lot of bricks. This was an off game for Dame, Nurk, Roco, and Larry. This game provides for enough video of how not to pass, put the ball in from under the basket, and play defense for a whole season of eliminating bad habits.

CJ led scoring 4 of 11, Nas scored 2 of 4, Larry scored 1 of 3, and Simons scored 1 of 6. Blazers missing all swish3s are Roco 2, Ben 3, and Dame 8. Blazers urgently need a swish3 shooter. And at least 18 swish3s scored per game.

On the stats from this game, Blazers fell from being number 1 in scoring per game (124 pts) to number 10 (113 pts) and CJ fell 4th (33 pts) to 10th (27 pts). As Coach Billups noted, Blazers failed to bring intensity, accuracy, and execution to this game. To win, Blazers need to return to the mentality that was successful in the game 2 win over the Suns. Let's bring back the winning form for the next 5 games and win them all.
 
The Blazers lost the swish3 contest scoring 15 of 36 vs the Grizzlies 17 of 50 in the Oct 27 win 116-96 over Memphis. This was a major rebound from Monday's awful loss to the Clippers in which Dame got going with swish3s, coaching strategies resulted in a 3rd Q that we won 36-20, excellent Blazer energy was notable, and there was effective 2nd half defense.

Simons led scoring 5 of 7, CJ scored 4 of 9, Dame scored 4 of 11, Dennis scored 1 of 1, and Roco scored 1 of 4. Blazers missing 1 each swish3 attempts were Nurk, Nas, Larry, and Elleby. There was good ball movement that led to much higher quality swish3 attempts, and with better ball movement. The Blazer energy level was much more conducive to a win, and the extra effort on offense and defense paid off.

Dame had 10 assists in this game, and did an excellent job of involving Blazers in scoring. CJ, Nurk, Cody, Larry, and Simons all had good games with strong contributions to scoring and defending against the Grizzlies. Now let's carry this energy into defeating the Clippers on Friday!
 
Suns and Grizzlies are presently 1-2 in the league in terms of worst 3-point percentage allowed. Are we the cause or just the beneficiaries?

15 of 36 is better than 17 of 50.

not sure id say we lost it just because we hit two less. The 14 other shots we didn't take have an impact as well.

No. My report is of who scored more swish3s, even if at a lower %. Yes, the efficiency of scoring is a major factor for the win, but the power of the swish3 makes it worth analyzing the game from the 3FG aspect. Most analysis is biased to favor the the 2 and FG data. But swish3s become more important as shooting accuracy and range continue to evolve.

In my opinion, Blazers need to score 18+ swish3s per game for a better chance to win. Let's score more swish3s than the LA Clippers and win!
 
“But the POWER of the Swish3” I love this.
Pure entertainment!
 
The Blazers won the swish3 contest scoring 19 of 41 vs the Clippers 15 of 42 in the Oct 29 revenge win. Dame is back! And Norm is back! Nurk, Roco, and Larry had good games, and defensive intensity indicated the determined energy needed to win.

Dame led scoring 5 of 7, Norm scored 4 of 6, Roco scored 3 of 6, Nas scored 2 of 3, CJ scored 2 of 7, Dennis and Elleby each scored 1 of 1, and Simons scored 1 of 7. Blazers missing swish3 attempts were Nurk 1 and Cody 2.

The Blazers outrebounded the Clippers 63-43, and had 14 TO, a vast improvement from the Monday game with 30 of them. The Blazers are a work in progress, but can win the next 3 games if they can bring the same energy and determination that is evident in the last 2 games. Go Blazers!
 
The Blazers lost the swish3 contest Oct 31 in North Carolina scoring 17 of 54 vs the Hornets 20 of 42 in the 113 - 125 loss. Although Blazers won the first half 60-53, the defensive intensity faded for the 2nd half in which Blazers allowed the Hornets 36 pts each quarter and committed too many TOs.

Simons led scoring 5 of 8, CJ scored 4 of 11, Nas scored 2 of 3, Roco scored 2 of 6, Norm scored 2 of 9, and Dame scored 2 of 14, Cody was 0 of 1 and Nurk was 0 of 2.

The Blazers can win the next game if they can bring the intensity level and determination that they showed in the Oct 29 win over LA Clippers. Go Blazers and beat the 76ers!
 
Ant and Nas shooting reg FG% and 3's at a lights out rate so far, CJ shooting 3's at 43% so far and Powell at 41%, Dame is the big anchor here shooting 3's at 23% and his reg FG% at 35%, lets hope Dame gets his shit together soon
 
The Blazers have 7 players shooting above 40%, and 2 are at 100% (but only on 2 of 2 shooting). Through 6 games,
Dennis 100
Tony 100
Nas 50 (8 of 16)
Simons 44.7 (17 of 38)
CJ 43.3 (26 of 60)
Larry 42.9 (3 of 7)
Norm 40.9 (9 of 22)

Let's see more swish3 shooting from these 7 and soon 8 when Dame gets back on track!
