Like most teams, we are great when the 3's are falling. Unlike most good teams we(until lately)appear completely lost when they aren't.
I posted very early that this could be a problem.

If you noticed, they have not been taking nearly as MANY 3-pointers lately as they were earlier in the season. The thing that annoyed me the most earlier was that they weren't moving the defense before they put up shots. That was one reason why it was so easy for opponents to gang up on Stokes inside. The ones they are taking now are mostly in the context of the offense, which has featured more cutting and driving to the basket than was the case earlier. Williams' remarks are very perceptive. Shooting IS contagious. It can still run hot and cold, but the best sign for me is that the number of shots taken "just because" has gone down, and I don't see that changing.
