Floater Problem....

[dipship31]

We've got a MAJOR problem with falling in love with this abysmal shot and there's no end in sight. Just heard on Locke's podcast that DM and Mike are leading the league in floater shot attempts and they're shooting 39% and 35% on those attempts. There's obviously a lot of room to improve across the board, but this one should be a no brainer..... DON'T ****ING DO IT!

Flush this shot attempt down the drain and try to work in any other options. Force it inside to Rudy, force a 3 attempt, try to get fouled, pull up for a short range jumper, whatever, but stop taking this shot!

Why did you use an Australian toilet to illustrate your point?

2 or 3 more dribbles, kick the ball out... reset and make the defense play longer... it’s just kinda frustrating we are still here.

The worst thing is that at least 50% of these floaters were taken with an open 3 pt shooter watching.

I'm going to watch a little closer, but I'm not sure this is the case... If we dribble a little deeper though then it opens up the weakside threes. Again... I'm just not sure.

We also have to remember we have a perfect view when the guys with the ball likely only have a good view of half the court and are processing a lot of things in real-time.

Sometimes early in the clock with no passes.

Those are the ones that kill me... seems like they do a your turn my turn thing. Quin needs to get together with these guys and figure it out. It is solvable so that's the good news... then we can move on to solving the bench issues.

I just do not understand love of floater.... such a low percentage shot. Instead Mitchell should just take mid range jumper, way more accurate. Look at Kawhi for example... killer mid range jumper, you rarely if ever see him taking floaters. Only player who was really good at them was Tony Parker. Don should just stop it for real.

Amen.

Theyre taking floaters because they want teams to respect them to open up lanes for Rudy.

If I am the opposite defense I will stay with Rudy and let them take that floaters all day long.

So we are taking the worst shot in basketball by design? Maybe you take a handful if this is the case but to have the top two guys in the league in floater attempts is a super ****** plan.
