    Well, it is true because the most successful efficient shots are the 3's and inside the post. Unless, the mid-range is worth 2.5 points then maybe the shot efficiency will be distributed and people will take all shots equally.

    Actually, to the posters saying he's talking about Mike D, Mitch is referring to Rockets GM Morey, and what Rockets fans deem "Moreyball"

    Blame McHale if you want, but he's just carrying out Morey's orders. Go check google out and find a the quotes with Morey calling mid-range jumpers obsolete in his statistical realm, how his moneyball formula deems 3's and dunks the best way to win today.

    Mitch is taking a shot at the idiocy Morey is promoting throughout the NBA ranks, in a subtle-but-not-so-subtle way.

    That's great until a team takes away your 3's and layups... and the refs swallow their whistles.

    Not when you face playoff defenses it is. You're not gonna get free layups (transition) and open 3PT shots.. This is where having a midrange game would help you leaps and bounds...
