    Defense and rebounding still atrocious. Can’t count on outlier shooting performances from Cam and Bron (8-12 from 3) while your three best shooters in Dlo, Austin, and Prince go 2-11. Our “shooters” have to make their shots.

    Yeah, not to keep harping on Prince, he's an all right player . . . but he's down to 34.4% three point shooting, and 42% overall. I think we should be giving Rui more of his minutes. We kind of owe it to Rui to keep developing him and not bury him on the bench since he's got a three year $50 million plus contract. Prince is on a one year TPE. For the record Rui is only playing 18 minutes a game but shooting 40% from three and 54% overall by comparison, 11 points a game. Prince should not be playing 30 minutes a game averaging 9 points and those stats.

    But I thought we solved all issues by sending AR to the bench and featuring Cam and Prince...

    Before people point that he played 35 minutes, I will answer - those are DLO minutes.

    It's amazing to me...

    how can a team struggle this bad at 3 pt shooting year after year? it doesn't matter who they bring in, nothing changes

    it's just odd

    Even Steph would shoot 29% with this team.

    lol, looked it up: in his first year with us, radman's 3pt% dropped 7 points. he recovered the following year, though, so maybe we just have to keep guys?

    Malik Monk didn't suffer any shooting curse. Still wish we could have found a way to keep him.

    only way to improve the 3 pt shooting would be to bring MDA back. they were 3rd in the league in 3 pt shooting under him in 2013-14

    Prince was like 37% career and now he’s down to 31% this season. He said he was going to shoot 40% with us, lol. He didn’t know the curse is real.

    so, what do you all think the problem is? Is it our offensive scheme? Is the Crypt just a dang hard place to shoot 3's in. What did the Clippers shoot there? What percentage do visiting teams shoot? I have heard weird excuses about the depth of field behind the basket being different at the Crypt?? Does it just seem to be our team and if so, why has it gone beyond Ham. We have historically ALWAYS been a crappy 3 point team, under every coach.

    Why?
