Where did our 3 point shooting go?

Exactly. Spurs were overly reliant on the three ball the whole season. Dallas has taken that away and the team is crumbling apart.

The thing is that you can shut down a three point line easily.
If you do not have a slasher kind players or dominant force inside. Simple as hell. Another factor is that 3 pointers are low % FG's and also 3 pointers are gut checking psychological area for most players.

So basically we are screwed? Because that was the only thing we did well all season lol. And my point was let them fly cause we don't know how to fuckin win any other way. So yeah live and die by the 3 or we can keep watching our role players stand around and watch TP and TD play 2 on 5.

Trust me i'm no fan of whoring out the 3 ball in the playoffs. I know thats not what won us our past Championships. It's just apparent that this is how this years team ended up. As retarded as it is we don't have the players to do anything else.

And lmao at a Mavs fan trying to tell me that you can't win on jumpers in the playoffs. We know bro. The Mavs have been trying to do that for the past decade.

The spurs are falling back to a trend that got them swept in the playoffs. 2001 WCF we got swept by the Lakers, yeah thats the one that we all try to forget but can't.
The Problem - Duncan, Robinson and three perimeter players who all shot the ball well from 3. Porter / Daniels / Ferry. There was no motion in the offense; when tim or dave got double and those guys werent hitting we were screwed. There were no back-cuts or flair screens or anything else. It was just give it to timmy and wait behind that 3pt line. TODAY - Parker , duncan with 3 perimeter players. Mason jr. / Finley / Bonner and are they hitting? NO, and there's no back-cuts or flair screens to move the mavs defense around. So looking at 2001 WCF,we were pretty fortunate to win game 2. I love the spurs, but they have to force the other players get involved in the offense instead of just watching Tony and Tim.

To hell in a handbasket.

our role players cant hit shit and when we miss we cant get an offensive rebound especially with bonner in the game
