Who's gonna be the big guy that actually returns to the post?

I think it's time for everyone to move on from the stretch 5.

Jokic, Embiid, KAT... these guys are too skilled to be hanging out at the 3pt line. It's actually ridiculous watching sometimes. Everytime KAT gets the ball out deep and drives to the lane it's a horror show.

These teams today have zero anchor offensively. It's just swing the ball around til you find a guy. Joker to his credit actually can be an offensive anchor but half the time he has the ball 23 feet out and he becomes just another guy. Now he has to settle for a bomb. Sorry but you're not Curry. Not only that there are like 7 guys on this team who can do the exact same thing. If you're a big and you can shoot 3's, that's fantastic, but that's not why you're useful buddy. Maybe you should reserve the 3's for plan B when plan A doesn't work. Not only that but you would be freeing up shooters more regularly.

The analytics craze not only creates system players, it creates system coaches. Look what happens when the 3's aren't falling, the team goes into total shut down mode. They just keep heaving 3's. These coaches have no other plan. Not a single one of them has the wits to say hey maybe we should work towards high percentage baskets. This is like common sense stuff here and I'm just a fan, so if I could see it I don't know why they don't see it.

As long as players are hitting it at a respectable clip no one's going to stop shooting threes unless something within the league changes to make it not worth it. Even Embiid who is an average three point shooter at best will continue to shoot them because it's easier to chuck a three and make it 33% of the time than it is to bang in the post, flop around and be injured more often for a 50-60% two.

The math is only relevant over a long period of time. If you play roulette for a thousand years, then yes 50% of the time it will land on red and 50% of the time it will land on black. But if you play roulette for 10 minutes you have no idea how it's going to come out. You might see red 5-6 times in a row. Happens all the time.

As the game draws closer to an end you lose the luxury of time. Eventually you have to work towards getting higher percentage shots. The probability means nothing in the final few minutes. So yea you better be working towards those 60% shots.

doesnt mean you change your roulette strat when you play 10 times. you dont pick red because you seen it 3 reds in a row. Higher percentage shots is only in close games in last minute not last few minutes. also hard to change your offense just for last minute of game and its not worth sacrificing your efficiency in 1st 47 minutes. also no illegal defense kills post offense. nuggets couldnt even get jokic the ball
