We shot 50, made 19, with Bogie and DM shooting 11 and 10 respectively and each making 4. 38% as a team. I like that mix.
Crazy though. Who knew this is where it would all end up? Sloan is probably turning in his grave.
Big question is, will we average something north of 40 each game through the season?
Looking at our shot chart it looks damn near perfect for the game plan really. Clusters under the rim and at the 3 pt line and very little in the mid-range. Maybe between 7 and 10 of our shots could be called "mid-range", a few falling in that 6-8 foot section. 7 truly at 10 ft to 20 ft. All of the rest directly at the rim or a 3. So of our 94 shots attempted, 50 were 3's, let's say 10 were "mid-range" or floaters, and that leaves 34 directly at the rim. Whereas we forced Portland into at least 23 mid-range shots. No wonder we blew them out. Near-flawless execution of our offensive game plan combined with very solid execution of our defensive game plan.
LOL we "limited" them to 33 three-point attempts. Limited. LOL. Man has the NBA changed. Was a time when 33 attempts would be front-page news. Now it is a weak showing. Crazy.
