Damn OKC.
Well the WarriorsVSCavs is happening but nothing before made sense: Thunder getting rid of my Spurs despite them leading most games, Warriors almost gone, Raptors fighting hard exposing Cleveland…
The game is changing for one thing: 3s. I’m not talking about one or two good shooters behind the arc, I’m talking about having a team shooting 3x3s in a row because that’s almost ten points.
So let’s say it takes your team 2 hard minutes battling to take a 10 point lead, in three possessions and 50 seconds your lead is cut to 1 point. Your opponent is barely sweating offensively and can focus on defense. That’s how the Warriors and other teams too, have been able to recover from being dominated. That’s a massive game changer.
We’ll see how this plays on Thursday but more interestingly, next season. You can be sure that everyone in the NBA is working on those long shots right now.
