    That is our teams 3PT shooting percentage.

    Batum.. 7/24 29.2%
    Wesley. 6/14 42.9%
    Roy..... 3/12 25.0%
    Wallace 2/11 18.2%
    Miller ... 4/8 50.0%
    Rudy.... 2/8 25.0%


    The key to having a chance of winning this series will be making 3 pointers in these last two games. If we hit a few more Dallas will have to guard them which will open up the inside for LaMarcus and Wallace.

    The only steady player all series long has been Dre. IF we don't get out of the 1st round, some posters will point back to the fact that Dre has never made it past the first round in the playoffs . . . but Dre's the last player that should be blamed for that.

    For game 6 - only Camby and Miller should shoot 3s!

    We just need to shoot better overall as a team. That's what is killing us.

    No doubt. If we don't find a way to work the long ball back in, we are sunk.

    So it's lack of individual effort? Or is our coach's system different from other teams?

    Miller is terrible on defense, and the stats reflect it. He's been solid offensively, though, in ISO sets, no matter how it bogs down the rest of the offense.

    Obvious why Townsend was fired.

    Despite the 3 googles we were one of the worst 3 point shooting team during the regular season and finished below every playoff team except Memphis. We were at 34.5%.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Right, I know that. They're still shooting solidly below their regular season percentage. 3% is quite a lot. If you added 3% to their regular season percentage, they'd be 7th in the NBA. If you subtracted 3%, they'd be dead last.

    Portland wasn't a good three-point shooting team in the regular season and shouldn't be expected to be in the playoffs. But they should be significantly better than this. More to point, rhey've had a ton of open three-point shots against some pretty bad Dallas perimeter defense, so should likely be above their regular season percentage, not 3% below.

    But a 3-5% difference is just noise over a 5 game stretch. Just bad luck.

    The thing is that it's not just 3pt shots, it's anything out of the paint. Ben Golliver from Blazersedge had a great post after the last game showing how streaky the team had been in the regular season vs the playoffs. He found that Portland was one of the more inconsistent teams, especially amongst playoff teams and that streakyness has only been worse in the playoffs. It's hard to be consistent when your bench play is like Russian roulete

    Nate does a brilliant job getting open 3-point looks for players who can't consistently hit 3-pointers.

    But hey, he is an NBA coach and we are mere fans - so who are we to 2nd guess? :lol:
