Do Not Sell My Personal Information
While we had some bad possessions at the end of the game, our offense is not why we lost the game. We scored 114 points, which is plenty. The reason we lost is that Golden State made 23 out of 43 3-pointers. If they had shot their season % of 37.7%, and made only 16 of 43, we would have won by 15 points. Even if they had simply made them at the rate Steph shoots (41.7%), we still would have won comfortably.

The question is, "Why do teams consistently shoot 3-pointers so well against us?" This game was not an anomaly in that regard. Some of those baskets at the beginning of the 3rd quarter last night were literal throw-ups -- nothing but net. Maybe we need to stop helping on defense, and see how that works.
 
Yeah this argument that it’s a “coincidence” when teams constantly shoot the lights out against us really isn’t flying any more

Depends.

A stat was posted this last week on Reddit that showed these teams were making shots even when heavily contested at ridiculous clips

I don't know what else you can do that's better than heavily contested.

Wasn't really watching this game but the ones I saw in the third were heavily contested bs shots that went in

Problem is long before the third the Cavs should have been “running then off the three point line”

They had a bunch of wide open 3s in the first half got hot and stayed that way after warming up. Terrible game plan and laziness.
