In the playoffs you can game plan around that much more then with one day or on the second day of a back-to-back. he is 7-24 this month. 7/24 > .2 Jack Armstrong correctly pointed out Milwaukee was playing way off of him, however, OG only played 13 minutes in that game. Other than that he gets guarded like any average 3 point shooting small forward. | ||

I mean from a % standpoint you are never going to do as well in the playoffs because you are playing better teams. I always thought GS offense was good for playoffs because they had many scorers instead of just one. I really hadn't thought that they were easier to defend. It could be true I've never thought about it like that. The GS offense is fine for the playoffs, its just that defending 3s takes a lot more effort than taking 3s, so 3s are going to typically drop off a little in the playoffs. Their ball movement is really good, which is a smart way to do things. The 67 win Spurs had a similar issue, but also had the issue of OKC being kind of the opposite. They had an extremely high effort offense that had to leverage WB and Durant a lot, and that had very little dropoff in the playoffs (kind of like the Heat and Cavs offenses). Also the Spurs have always had trouble with that iteration of the Thunder because Parker is a turnstile and a lot of Leonard's defensive prowess is wasted on KD due to his height advantage. | ||

The Spurs' other issue is that they are great at getting corner 3s for their role players in the regular season. The corner 3 is the easiest one to make but also the easiest one to defend once teams are trying more in the playoffs. It's an even bigger issue against the OKC teams that had quick, long players. | ||

exactly? at 29.4% he is .6% away from 30% so if u r going to approximate his shooting percentage you'd say 30. not 20. "troll" ? your facts are wrong. then you name-call. ok man. name-calling doesn't add to your point. | ||

So I'm not sure they are the best example. I think the biggest difference is the teams get more rest so they can play there main players more and then can game plan so much more game to game. If you only have to stop one guy it is a lot easier then to try to stop 3-4. On the Raps broadcast they were talking about how OG is no longer being guarded because he has shot 20% from 3 for the last number of months. In the playoffs you can game plan around that much more then with one day or on the second day of a back-to-back. Yeah Draymond was suspended, but don't forget the rest of the storm that allowed Team Lebron back into that final: Steph was playing hurt (think it was his knee?) Iggy was playing with back problems and probably most important in that final Bogut got hurt in game 5 with a knee injury (a key interior defender that year). | ||

LBJ publicly goes after the officials. its 16-4 in free throws against the Cavs in the 1st half. after Casey's most vocal public rebuke of NBA officials i recall the entire Raptors team got 5 free throws until the game was basically over and then the officials called a bunch of meaningless fouls. | ||

boring stuff here. + Show Spoiler + "months" is more than 1 month. over the past 2 months, since December 26th, he has shot 25% over the past 3+ months he has shot over 30+% 20% is incorrect. At this point I've seen enough Brooklyn to say... Russsell and Dinwiddie are better players than Lin. I can't wait to hear Lin whining about playing time next year.  24 to 7 in free throws for Brooklyn. lol. | ||

Brooklyn's roster is very thin. When everyone is healthy and , except Lin, they're probably an average team. On February 28 2018 10:35 JimmiC wrote: ignore your douchebag responses. no, i don't engage in name-calling like "troll" and "douchebag". that is not my thing. that's you. | ||

this Brooklyn//Cleveland game is great. Russell and Dinwiddie are so fun to watch. if you are going to have a double-point-guard offense i wonder if you are at an advantage if one PG is a lefty and one is a righty... the refs are fucking cleveland so hard tonight.. Korver has 4 fouls in 18 minutes. LOL. | ||

I bet the Raptors//Pistons game in Detroit on March 7th sounds more like a Raptors home game than a Pistons home game. The place is empty when i watch the odd Pistons home game. | ||
