Honestly, I’d be pretty pissed about all the “too many threes” talk at this point too. He said a couple things about analytics, and now every bum cries about how “Mazzulla ball” lives and dies by the three even in games where we shoot less threes than the opponent. Threes are a big part of his gameplan, but we take threes because our offense is good at generating open ones when teams load up on the Jays. Not because we seek out opportunities to chuck contested ones.
And if you listen to the Reddick podcast he did, he acknowledges that you can’t just rely on shooting variance in the playoffs. We’ve been posting up Tatum, Porzingis, and even Brown and Jrue very purposefully this season. Its an extremely overblown narrative parroted by people who have already made up their minds about him.
