Don't test some of the posters here, they might give you an argument for that we should actually be losing
Jaylen with in your face 3.
That in your face was definitely a No-No-Yes! moment.
Far as I can see as my data goes back (2014-15 IIRC), 77 points is the the third most points ever against the Heat in the first half.
C's 16/20 from 2, 11/22 from 3 and 12/12 FTs. A little regression might happen, but they're creating great shots.
I agree—-good results on bad process tends to be a problem for them once the shooting cools off
Same. Their process is to give up good twos for good threes. They’re not going to stop.
It must have been somewhere between 2000-2002. A pretty bad C's team squeaked into the playoffs to face the Pacers in the first round. It was pretty much a 4-game drubbing, and me and a couple buddies scored dirt-cheap tickets to Game 4 in Boston.
Early in the game, Reggie cheap-shotted Adrian Griffin for absolutely no reason, in a series where Boston posed zero threat. It was a really dirty play, and I was incensed. Griffin got hurt on the play. As the teams were leaving the floor at halftime, I went down to the runway and, as Miller approached, I leaned over the rail less than a foot from his dumb face and screamed, "YOU'RE A FUCKING PRICK, REGGIE!" right in his grill. He just kept walking, but it was extremely satisfying.
Fuck that guy.
I believe their process is to work the ball below the foul Line then back out and rotate for threes. I’ve been referring to it as “playing inside out”
they were mostly working around the perimeter that half, or taking quicker twos, far more than they should be against this defense.
but they sure were hitting a lot
Haha, it is funny timing to dredge up that memory. I really liked Griffin as a player, he had some of the stickiest hands I'd ever seen. I was high on him, but those were the moribund Gaston/Pitino years, so all C's fans were grasping at straws. I suck at Basketball Reference, I was trying to find the exact series I'm talking about, but came up empty. Maybe @Brand Name can help me out when she has a minute?
