Lanier is still shooting 36% from 3 over the last 5 games. Not great, but not bad.

Overall he’s 35th in the country in 3P%.

Dude he has been coming up small. He can’t create his own shots. He has very little game outside of the 3. He can’t take over a game. But you do you.

And yet, I just did. Just because you make an absolute statement doesn’t make it true.

Preposterous statement. You have no idea what would happen if that were the case. Unfortunately for your arguement also, we don’t live in a world of IFs. We live in reality and the reality is Mahomes is the better QB, based on both individual and team statistics, accolades, and head to head results when it matters most.

Guess I should have said most people. There's always outliers like you willing to say anything. Most people in the media have been saying what I've said. Josh Allen has played Mahomes to a draw pretty much everytime they've played in the playoffs. Mahomes keeps winning not because he's better but because of circumstance. Sure we can't run the experiment of how Allen would do if he switched positions with Mahomes but we can do the thought experiment. And there's nothing I've seen Mahomes do in these matchups that I can't see Allen doing. You think Allen couldn't have completed that easy pass to the running back that got the game sealing first down? You think Mahomes would've made Kincaid catch that 4th down pass he dropped.

Football is a team sport. Using team results to say one player is better than another without using the context of the actual game is dumb. Most people who have watched the last 3 playoff games between Allen and Mahomes knows the games weren't decided because Allen wasn't as good as Mahomes. Only outliers like yourself are acting like Mahomes is doing something Allen isn't capable of.

I have seen enough of these games under Barnes to know we're not out of it.

But it would be nice to know when we need a bucket... We could get one. Just really inconsistent offensively if we're just running half court.

It's just that everyone is missing at the same time. Makes it seem much worse.

Yeah... This. The offense is inn the struggle bus... It ain't just one or two guys in a cold spell... Can't hit water from a boat.

The only thing I keep telling myself, and it is true, we get good looks a lot of the time.

We just don't make enough sometimes.

And if we're not getting stops on the other end it can get away from us.

Very few players can take over a game.

Again, sounds like you expected DK clone. He’s never been that. Shooters hit slumps and that’s what he is, a shooter.

I feel like this would be much closer if we'd just shoot some 2s. . . even if they're just a foot inside the 3pt line, 😂. Mental block. As soon as they know they're beyond three, brick city.

I have a 70" 4K TV, so my son can watch other people play Minecraft.

The game can be viewed in a small rectangle up in corner, of my phone.

Right. No I didn’t expect a DK clone. Lanier has taken 4 shots. All 3s. Guess how many points he has? Zero. All he has is the 3. I expected more from our best shooter in big games.
