The danger of only listening to the numbers

Thought this was a good read. Not sure how it applies to the Blazers yet though. Do think some teams are guilty of shooting bad three pointers instead of open mid range shots.

Pretty sure we're one of them.

Pretty sure we're one of them.

We are definitely a "no no no YES!" team when it comes to threes. If we launched 7 to 8 bad 3 attempts or contested 3's a game I wouldn't be shocked.

Of the guys shooting more than one 3 point shot per game, only Mo Harkless is shooting less than 35%. His playing time has been sparse since Henderson has returned.

Compare that to Houston. They are jacking up almost 20 per game from guys with sub 35%.

Also factor in that CJ does shoot mid range shots and we saw a bunch of so called inefficient mid range shots from LA last year.

I think we are doing it right.

Our guys are good at making the decision to take a dribble and step in for the midrange two as well (CJ, Crabbe, Hendo, and now Meyers can do this).

Hopefully Meyers actually does.

Personally love the mid range game. CJ has been so fun to watch. Vintage B-Roy.

When Dame adds this to his decision-making matrix, he'll be that much better. He's a bit Clyde-like in his decision-making, which is good and bad.
