I don’t understand the point of this post. Teams want 3 and D wings because those are the most important skills. If you can’t shoot you screw up spacing. If you can’t defend your defense is comprised. Wings that can do both and create offensively are all stars. I don’t know how you think teams are going to just go get more of those.Tequilla said:
It’s more about specialization in my mind and having limited focal points offensively.dnc said:
You're missing the point if you're using Korver as any kind of data point about the 3 and D movement. He's not part of it.Tequilla said:
He’s a 3 and no D player ... missing my point if that is what you are focusing in ondnc said:
Korver is not a 3 and D playerTequilla said:
What this playoff is really driving home to me is that this direction of "3 and D" players is too easy to exploit as there are few that are able to be multi-dimensional offensively and strong enough defensively. With Cleveland, it's too easy to exploit guys like Korver defensively. With Houston, the defenders like Tucker and Mbah a Moute are not good enough offensively to not allow a good team to be able to fall off of him effectively.RoadDawg55 said:Houston sucks. Mike D’Antoni is a regular season coach.
Bruce Bowen to me was an original example. Great D and made himself into a passable offensive player.
A guy like Korver swings the other way as a great shooter that in an ideal world you hide in defense.
The unicorn is the great shooter that is also a tremendous defender.
In all examples, these players are limited offensively in what they do well versus what a good defense forces them into. -

Lost to higher seeded Cleveland his second year
Lost to Cleveland as the Number One Seed last year in 5 games
Now playing Cleveland as a higher seed leading 1-0 after a crisp 30 point win and his first two series wins earlier this year.
He needs to make the Finals. Then I can finally root for the Warriors -
Offense is about creating opportunities for yourself and your teammates.
Shooting spaces the floor and in theory makes it easier for penetration.
Guys that can shoot but can’t create are dependent on others for offense.
If the creators in that system can’t create or more importantly if defenses don’t help to the point of creating opportunities for dependent shooters, then the offense really bogs down.
You don’t need to have all stars. Shooting is obviously valuable. But there are other offensive skills as well. -
You type soooo much without ever saying anything at all. In the rare time you have a point, it's something extremely obvious that could have been said in 1/6 the text. Please consider posting less about basketball. Thanks -- the lurkers.Tequilla said:Offense is about creating opportunities for yourself and your teammates.

Don't call them underdogs @dnc
I did pick them to win the series after all. I think they're the better team. They're not the better roster though. -
So you don't understand 3 and D. Got it.Tequilla said:
