Infatuation with 3pt shots will kill this team

Plus they have 2 (3 when KD was there) of the greatest 3 pt shooters ever in the history of the game. Yet they didn't just hold the ball and jack up a 3.   

Teams that play a lazy brand of offense, especially one that doesn't suit the personnel, will suffer sooner or later.  The stats will bear that out too.

I think it's fair to say that while the current offense often centered around the three point shot, it's as important to get close to the rim and move the ball. But again, Luka and KP fit that perfectly. Them jacking up "bad" threes is often just a product of having too little help from elsewhere.
