Dakitch is 100% right. Just because we aren’t a good 3 point shooting team, doesn’t mean we need to constantly shoot a ton of 3s.

He's partially right. Our driving hasn't exactly been lights out today, either, with a good chunk of missed shots and blocked shots. We aren't exactly collecting free throws like we were against OKST, either.

Right now, we seem to be playing best in transition and on speed. Do whatever it takes to keep that running.

It's purely a philosophy problem at that point. Do you hope your guys shoot themselves back to normal, or risk fully killing their confidence by red-lighting them and removing the potential outside threat from your game?

"Back to normal"???!!! Have you watched this team? This is our normal. We have 18 games in the books, 15 if those have been horrible shooting nights

I feel like theres been more coaching camera shots in this game than any I've seen in a long time.

It’s still a higher percentage play than our 3s.

So because of that, and you not saying anything to that person about it, you're going to play the race card on me when I've compared the two of them mentally.

That's actually something that's annoying.
I didn’t direct my comment toward you but you’re right it was not a fair. My apologies. I think a lot of isu fans were saying Matt Thomas without any sample to back it up. I don’t like the comp.

I think the light has come on for Solo. He has figured out how to be relentless. Dude is competing!

Dan has changed his tune a little since saying we would get beat by 162 or whatever his nice comment was.

Do you think taking the outside game out entirely is going to help us? Being a one-dimensional team isn't any better.

You're a power 5 team. Shoot like one.
