Luka is in top shape, so the explanation is not that he is fat, as it was not the case early in season. What it is, the reason, is that the team is missing wide open shots. What happens next is that the teams start to protect the paint and it gets harder to attach the rim. And what happens next is that our players start to get even more open, and we tend to be forced with that option with shooting from outside. We become very inefficient and one-dimensional. When we cant shoot open 3s, we lose to any team, it's as simple as that. Need to make those open shots. It has kind of started with Kleber, that is something like 0-1000 from 3 in last games, and then this anti-shot virus has spread to DFS in the last game and to others as well. It's important to finish the season and enter the playoffs with good shooting. Then we are impossible to play against.
Anybody is impossible to play against when they're making shots. Look what Charlotte did a few games ago. The fact is 3pt shooting comes and goes. Especially if your offense relies heavily on them. It pays to have a post game as well.
