yes, they make a lot of threes, but they also take a lot. they are middle of the pack when it comes to their 3 pt shooting percentage.

they are also league leaders in turnovers. lots of missed 3's + lots of turnovers are not a good recipe for a team that lacks speed in transition.

except they got badly out rebounded by the clippers, a team that is statistically worse than them at hitting the glass.

cmon, really?

yeah, and the large amount of turnovers and missed 3's don't exactly help.

>Blathering about Pau
>shooting threes or not fitting in is missing the real issue.

its one of the issues, not the only one. i'm surprised that the biggest MVPAU advocate on the boards doesn't see how the team's struggles are linked to his.
