More midrange or more....3pt shooting?

PFs can shoot midrange

Guards and SFs mostly 3s but with the occasional 2s to beat the clock or pick and pop

 

3pt will make you lose in the first round of the playoffs. Can someone show a comparison of 3pts vs 2pt in the playoffs.

 

i dont like morey's "3 or layup" strategy. no longer playing the game, its playing the stats. if u have a good mid range shot that u can make u take it.

 

Here you go:

 

lmaooooo

 

lol

It is good to be masters at both

 

The Spurs bombed Miami all day with threes. There were 40 Converted 4 point plays last postseason. How did we forget so quickly. The 3 point shot is here to stay.

 

POTY candidate

 

Rep the DallasThomas breh.

 

graph clearly shows a point advantage for the 3point shot
more three!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i wonder if freethrow shots are worth more or less than one point in the playoffs?
any graph for that?

 

It looks like the green is longer.

 

Man, I just hope they make the shots come the real thing. I don't care if we score a 100 points on free throws as long as we win. :grin:

 

Adding a midrange expands the teams game dramatically. I understand the 'advanced stats' of it. But it doesn't tell the whole story.

 

Playoffs last year:

2pointers .455

3pointers .358 (effectively .538 and thus worth making an offense around)

The reason you develop a midrange threat is not because it's a good setup, it's so when teams key on the other two locations, you still have offense.

The NBA% from 10-15 feet is 41.7% and from 16-23 (inside the 3pt arc) is 38.3%. It's 64% at the rim. AKA feed Dwight and shoot threes. AKA Get great at the post game, including passing out of the post.

 

I'm not as eloquent with graphs as DT, but sports in general is a "stats" game. Rox 95 - Suns 92. That's a stat.

As for OP's midrange vs 3pt question, I'll use 2 examples.
1. 30% of 20 shots = 6 shots. That's 12 pts w/2's & 18 pts w/3's. To get 18 pts with 2's, you have to take 30 shots or shoot 45%.
2. 35% of 20 shots =7 shots. That's 14 pts w/2's & 21 pts w/3's. To get 21 pts with 2's, you have to take 30 shots or shoot 52.5%.
The real question is how many players do we have that shoots 35% from 3 (4 or 5) vs 52.5% from 2 (1 or 2).

Ok, I'm not eloquent with words either!

 

hahahahaha, this is genius

 

byron scott is that you? 26 game losing streak not enough?

 

The NBA says more 3pt shooting. Three point shots have increased almost every year since the line came into existence( excluding the 3 years of the 22 ft line.). The number of 3's the Rockets take now will probably be average in a few years.
