    Right?? What a stupid ass comment that gets thrown around constantly. Does he think the players can just grind a millions 3s in practice and that solves the problem? Its obviously deeper than that. All of those players can drain a 3. Its about lack of confidence, pressure, faith-- intangibles that I hoped Monty would bring. Unfortunately so far, he hasnt 😞

      You’re completely missing the point. What I’m saying is that all of the extra reasons people are throwing out as to why we are losing are silly. Monty can’t get up at a presser after the 14th loss and say “honestly, we just kinda suck at shooting and if we shot 35% from 3 and made our ft’s this game, we would have won.”

      It’s just been a shitty stretch of mostly poor shooting and high TO’s. One of the few games we did shoot really well from 3 against GSW, we ended up taking 17 fewer shots than the Warriors because we somehow gave up 17 ORB’s and of course had more TO’s.

      We’ve only shot better than our opp from 3 this year in 5 games. We won 2 of those, 1 was to the aforementioned Warriors, another was against Portland who shot 33 FT’s to our 11.

      This team has 2 problems. We’re shooting poorly and we don’t take care of the ball. Lineups, effort, rotations, grit, Him-ness, etc… is all secondary.
