[QUOTE="Berg88, post: 1444745, member: 7871"] A couple of things I noticed about the last 3 games, just checked some stats to compare: Past 3 games: 15.0 3 Pt attempts/game First 14 games: 25.7 attempts/game Past 3: 46.0 2 pt attempts/game First 14: 36.9 attempts/game Past 3: 52.9% 2PT FG% First 14: 47.7% 2PT FG% Past 3: Giorgi - 10.5 FG attempts/game (9.75 2 pt FG attempts) First 14: Giorgi - 8.0 FG attempts/game (6.0 2 pt FG attempts) So, our guards are getting to the basket more and finishing better, AND we seem to be making a conscious effort the get the ball to Giorgi inside. What I noticed, especially last night, was a the team doing a better job of finishing baskets off turnovers (Ayo was out of his mind doing it last night). 3 pt shots are obviously an important part of any offense, but too many times this year we have used them as a crutch. The offense stagnates for 20-25 seconds and a difficult thee is launched. In HALF of our first 14 games, we attempted 28 or more 3s. In the past 3 games, we're attempting 15. That's a startling drop off. TL;DR - over the last 3 games our offense has started to work [/QUOTE]
