In comparison, Josh Green has 9 FGA in 16 min and Trey Burke 3 FGA in 4:37 min.
Maybe even more surprising than Bertans lack of shooting is Bullock's minutes played and ability to still shoot the 3 ball at a high percentage. In almost 90 minutes (45 MPG) he is 6/13 (46%) from the 3PT line.
Cow pointed out in the game one game thread that Utah missed the opportunity to hunt Bertans on defense in the first half of that game. Well, that isn’t the case anymore. I actually wonder if we don’t see fewer minutes from DB. He tries really hard, I’ll give him that. But in the playoffs, you have to do more than try.
