    Honestly, I don’t know if this is good or bad. I guess good winning despite it? Not really sure what needs to change, but we should definitely be better than this. I don’t think we really have shooters, but we have good enough to be like middle of the pack you’d think

    we're fools gold

    a few things going the other way, and we have a losing record. Our margin for error is very small

    we should at least be near the top of the league in generating quality looks from three.

    both luka and reaves have been cold from distance overall, and i expect that part to change. though folks need to get used to luka's three point percentage not matching the ability. he takes a lot of tough/bad ones. it's part of his game and why teams have to blitz him 35ft from the hoop, though, so you live with it.

    anyway, i'd probably take it as good news, as i don't think we'll end up this far down in three point shooting when the year's over.

    probably a bit early to look at this, but while I and others have been a bit concerned about the narrow point differential, it's encouraging to see that 15+ games in, BPI has us #4 in the league, behind the three teams we all expected (okc, denver, houston) and bunched up with the top east teams. this has been done without lebron (and a few others at times). will it hold up? maybe not, but i feel like these start becoming pretty good predictors by midseason and are already not terrible.
