Why do y'all keep posting that stat about the most missed 3s as if it means anything?

The league is attempting more 3s than ever before, so naturally, if there's a game where jumpshots aren't falling, there's going to be a lot missed 3-pt shots. All it really means is two bad teams missed shots. No different to any other era where teams miss shots. Y'all only have a problem with it because they're missed 3s, but y'all wouldn't bat an eyelid if they were missed 2s instead.

Here's a stat from a game in 1999 -

The Jazz vs. the Supersonics missed a combined 90 shots and had a combined 40 turnovers, where the scoreline ended as 71-56. What makes it even worse is the average pace was considerably slower during that season than it is this season.

I understand that taking a three is better than a long range 2, but these a$$holes weren't even looking for easy shot opportunities. Just spamming threes with no regard for human life.

Neg me instead of answering the question huh :laff: cuz we all know you don't watch games and didn't even bother to find footage of the game in question before you ran interference bringing up random 90s games

I have tremendous amount of respect for your ball IQ but taking 70 plus threes is not good basketball

The amount of shots they missed isn't good basketball, that's right.

But they're both bad teams, so it really doesn't matter what shots they take, because they're going to have games where they miss a high volume of shots.

Bad teams miss shots, every day, b.

The league-average 3-pt% this season is 36%, which is right in line with the percentage it's been for the last 20 years, so it's not like teams are missing a greater percentage of threes now. If teams like the Hornets stopped taking 3s, they'd still be missing shots like they do now because they're straight-up a bad team who're missing their best player to generate good shots for them.

You begged for my attention three times in a thread in short succession. You're a groupie so I'll treat you like one.
