Covered Threes

I'm not concerned about shooting open threes. That's a good shot.

The question I'm asking is why are we shooting so many covered threes, which are bad shots.

What are the covered threes numbers for the mid-90s Rockets?

9.2. And it is second in the league. Compare this to ATL, who is second in the league to us in open threes, but second to last in contested threes.

This isn't about what the defenses are doing by "packing the paint", it is lack of what we are capable of doing. Without movement or some way to get the defenses moving, we can't get the layup part of Moreyball like other teams can. We have to settle on contested threes because we fail to get the defenses moving.

Logical reason is the predictability of our offense limits a good ratio of open/contested threes. Hawk's offense has movement and also has additional ways to go inside-out with Horford and Millsap, both bigs with good passing skills. Dwight is nowhere near them offensively.
