Good 'ol gamblers fallacy. You lost a bunch so you're sure you're due and going to go on a tear and regress back to the mean. But at the end of the day you have the same odds of hitting red on the roulette wheel as you did those past 4 spins.I’m optimistic with the adjustments made. But then watched the post-game interviews…
It’s worrying that Brad still mentioned how great we are at shooting 3s in practice or warmups. And essentially that the odds are in our favor now that we have missed so many in games this year.
He desperately needs to let those thoughts go. He has a large data-set of in-game shots and the plain fact is we just don’t make them. For whatever reason. Accept that and move on to the new plan.
We saw last night and a few other times this season we are best when we’re driving to the hoop, cutting backdoor, and then looking at open kick-out 3s as compliments. Stick with that strategy and we can compete. Continuing to jack-up 30+ 3s a night because we make a lot in practice and we’re bound to start making a lot in games is NOT logical.
I do think it's almost impossible for a bunch of college players to only shoot 30% from 3 based on the quality of looks we get, and yet we shoot just that after 30 games. At some point you have to consider that maybe you are your shooting percentage.
