Message: [QUOTE="jazz, post: 3822466, member: 10942"] Yes it adds 3 points to our total but you are underestimating the ripple effect of this. This is one less chance for the opposing defence to run out with the missed three and hitting at 40% will open up the middle more for Liv. This will cause teams to play us more honest from three, which should lead to dribble drives with pull-up twos and assists for more twos, not to mention drawing fouls. If we can make 10 threes a game and shoot it at a 40% rate, we can and will affect how the defense plays us. Yo can see that during those short stretches that we actually hit a three or two that the offense flows better. Liv will not be double teamed if we can hit the three. We are not shooting well enough to bring the defense out and that is why we have up to 10 wide open threes every game. But we can't make them pay, so they just let us chuck it up from three. [/QUOTE]
