I think it’s something we may see more of in the future. I imagine the whole Steph generation of kids have spent far more time working on 3s than FT. It’ll be interesting to see if FT% continues to be a good predictor of 3PT shooting in the future.

All of the above has contributed. Not everything they’ve done has been a misfire, but enough of it has that it’s put them in a seemingly eternal tread of bad.

From an outsider’s perspective, I haven’t liked what Weaver’s been doing for a while now. You could sense early on he was going to hyperfocus on size, defense, and dude’s with “junkyard dog” personalities. He wanted to re-create the old Pistons as some sort of offering to the fans, and it just feels like he ignored too many other things like skill, fit, etc.

If I’m a Pistons fan, I’m not totally hopeless though. There is a good deal of young talent, and a Magic-esque progression isn’t out of the realm of possibility for them in the coming seasons. I just don’t know if Weaver’s the guy who’s gonna put them on the path to get there.

All those people making fun of Towns after his slow start. Well, he’s starting to play like his usual self now. It’s impressive that he’s so skilled they can run efficient two-big pick and rolls. Twolves are fun.

Unfortunately, as a Pacers fan, I’m hearing way more about Fox than I want to. Our fan base is getting all defensive in trying to “prove” Fox isn’t better than Haliburton. Sports fans are the most thin-skinned people on earth.

Nice to know that nba players can miss as badly as a regular ymcaer from time to time.
