I don't have anything against 3 pt shots as such, but GS also moves beautifully without the ball and gets a lot of baskets near the rim. 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.
If you allow for that excuse then this team will not take the step forward it needs to take. KP, Luka, RC should all be held accountable if that sort of excuse is brought up. One is a max player and the other is going to be that. They need to set the example to the rest of the team on how to play. When the star players work hard to get good shots, it not only sets a better example for the others, it also gives the others easier shots for their talent level.
