You are the moron dude. Mavs average 26.5 3's per game, as much as the golden state warriors. That is a jumpshooting team tbh.

Great narrow-minded research tbh.
Do they shoot a lot of 3s? Sure. Why? Mainly because Dirk/Ellis gets doubled so frequently that they have a lot of teammates wide open from 3. What else are they supposed to do when those shots are wide open? Take them. Additionally, they don't have a particularly strong 3 point shooting team, therefore teams intentionally leave a lot of their shooters wide open, in hopes that they miss. That is evident by the fact that they shoot so many 3's, yet only connect on around 35% of them as a team, which is league average.
Despite not shooting a great % on the large number of 3's that they take, they are still top 5 in FG%. So what does that say? They must be getting a lot of high percentage shots, despite teams packing the paint and leaving their shooters open.
Additionally, what are the main ways in which they create their offense?
1) Ellis driving
2) Dirk posting up
3) Parsons driving
The way their offense attacks is what results in open jumpers, but that doesn't mean they are a jumpshooting team. Their focus is on getting shots as close to the rim as possible, and they are extremely effective at it. They are a pretty mediocre jumpshooting team though, hence defenses being willing to concede jumpers to them.
Exactly my point, over 50% of the shots from the Mavs are 3 pointers or 2 point jumpshots. Teams make them take those because if not they will get high percentage looks inside. I think we both agree the mavs dont want to be a jumpshooting team but are forced into it because they dont hit 3's at a high enough clip. Plus, every time Dirk "posts up," it almost certainly ends with his patented fade away jump shot that almost always goes in.
UTSA reading comprehension
........... so this proves that the Mavs are a jumpshooting team, how?
Taking jumpers when they are wide open, and making your primary offensive focus on shooting jump shots are two very different things.
What I was saying is that a majority of shots they take are jumpshots, which they are. Therefore, I would call them a jumpshooting team.
this.
in all honesty, they probably should have just kept him after the 2011 finals, imo
Neat.
Still doesn't make you correct. Sorry gnsf.
I want to know where this scrub half breed came from and why has he been made big daddy's backup?
just my opinion
