Ok.wrong. if ur like 0 for 10 from 3....stop shooting 3s. you dont remove yourself as a threat because they still have to respect your shot. just mix up your game a bit. if curry is bricking 3s and starts driving, u think theyll say "ok hes done shooting 3s now so we can leave him open out there"?
This is categorically false.
Literally none of these suggestions are good.
Misses some wide open 3's...so he should stop shooting it and make it easier on the opposing defense by removing himself as a threat?
Misses some wide open 3's...so he should take a step in for a presumably better contested long 2?
Misses some wide open 3's...so he should sit there & wait for a defender to close out? And THEN pump fake, get the defender to bite, then waltz to the hoop for an "easy blow by". While the rest of the Cavs are apparently on the other side of the court or something, I'm not sure.
This might blow your mind, but...If Harrison Barnes is wide open, at the 3 point line, and has the ball...
...he should take that shot. It's not complicated.
yes, take a step in if your 3 is not falling. his 3s were wide open, a step in wont suddenly be contested. how do u even presume that happening? that was stupid.
if the defender is closing out to you, every hooper knows a pump fake will kill them. theyve committed to defending your shot and thats why theyre closing out. nobody cares about the rest of the cavs get the blowby and floater or scramble their defense and force switches by you losing your man and crashing the paint.
if harrison barnes is wide open at the 3 he should take the shot. definitely.... unless this scenario has happened 10 times in the same game and hes hit maybe 1 of em. then... take the shot that IS falling. common sense. definition of insanity. basketball iq. call it whatever u want.
