The Blazers strategy for the playoffs should be at least 12 made swish3s in each game. CJ, Dame, Allen, Chief, and Brian should take them, but Mo and Noah should not, based on their season 3pt percentages. The 9 swish3s in the MIN game were not enough, as the Blazers average more than 10 per game, and tend to win when 12 to 15 swish3s are counted. The Apr 13 Nuggets game is an excellent practice game to get this approach in place for the playoffs. Let's expect more swish3 attempts and improved defense from now on.
What really will guarantee more wins would be an increase in bench swish3s now that Meyers is out..go bench mob!
So do you think we should take more threes than we have been? Or the team should try harder to make the ones they already take because for some reason they haven't been trying to make them? I want the team to get quality shots; yeah open threes are great but I'd rather take an open midrange than a contested three.
If Harden was around it'd be SO much better outside the mouth. But he already had Kardashian, so it can't be that much worse to him.
Except for the March losses to DAL and GS, the Blazers show up well in the 3PM column of the game logs, and can take advantage of 37% or better shooting. In my opinion, the Blazers can shoot swish3s well enough to excel. Of course, getting the open swish3 attempts from favorite spots with highest percentage shooters, and getting screens to open shots will be important ways to improve this percentage in the playoffs.
If they got around to playing a little more defense in between all those swishy3s, that would be nice.
Yes. Swishpicks to open good shots and more assertive defense between swish3s are goals to practice in the Nuggets game and perfect in the playoffs.
I'm down for swish3's, jump2's and all of the rest. Not going to miss the classic Meyers pumpfake3 into a clank2 in this series.
W3 just n33d 3d, Mac3 and Mo3 to mak3 th3ir Swish1s. Would lov3 to g3t som3 short bankswish2s, mayb3 g3t th3m into foul trouble by conv3rting som3 swish2s+Free1s. If th3y give us the midswish2 w3 hav3 to take it and swish2 it. I b3t you Dam3 has at l3ast on3 swish3swish1s, or swish4s this s3ri3s
