Early observations after 5 games

What is the difference? A three is going to win the game in both instances if he makes it or lose it if he doesn't. Obviously down one if he would have drove in and made it, it would have won the game.....but taking a three down 1 or 2 is irrelevant.

There is a big difference, if we are down 2 I am ok with him shooting a 3 to win the game. We were down 1 freaking point with 17 seconds left, go to the basket. Why did he shoot a 3? Because he like the rest of this team is soft and because under BP you can jack up 25 3s a game and you know that is ok, there will not be a consequences.

Well first of all we didn't have 17 sec. left in the game when he had the ball. More like 6-7 sec.

Yea you are right, I sure will miss those 5-10 points he gives us in big games, or how about when he spins in the paint around 3 defenders and they strip the ball and have a fast break. Man I will really miss those plays next year.

2 in row, keep it up.

There is a difference in living by the three, (by purposefully working for 3 point shots) and settling for terrible three point shots when the set offense fails, or when there are no rebounders set. This killed you guys last year, and is still lingering this year. Its just not as noticeable because of the lack of competition in the first 3-4 games.

The "oh hell I'll just shoot it" mentality will bury you against good teams.

Wait a minute...I thought that was The Flex.
