Well the law of averages means that Parker IS going to start missing a fair number of his attempted threes, so we should all expect that. Thing is, TP is not a Manu or Marco or Danny Green type of three point shooter where he can get the ball and shoot quickly. His style (at least so far) is much more measured, requiring some open space, some time (you can just see him settling himself for the shot) and a considerable amount of thought, apparently...or at least he DID require all of those things except for the last shot of the quarter the other night when he just dribbled into a shot that went in from about 7 feet beyond the three point line!!
But, even though it is likely to fall off, if he succeeds in getting the defense to run at him, much as he is successful in getting them to collapse on him when he is going into the paint, then it will create looks for other team members, as it did in the last game when he was run off the line and found Kawhi in the corner for his own three. Thank goodness Kawhi seems to be finding his three-point shot again. It was truly lost there for a bit this season.
