Nichols and Dime: Setting Up the Three: Which Shot Types Do the Best Job?
Jon Nichols of Hardwood Paroxysm takes a closer look at what might be the best strategies in setting up the three-point shot. A great and intriguing read.Perhaps, the thinking goes, midrange shots are efficient not because of how often they are converted but because of how they improve the conversion rates of other shots, namely three-pointers. If you mix up your shot types, teams have to respect each one and can’t just prevent three-pointers. Therefore, midrange shots improve the efficiency of three-pointers.

Dwight has a lot on his plate.
I don’t think it’s too big of a deal that he’s missing out on the week excursion.

Dwight needs to work on his Shaq impression
He’s terrible at it, lol. He does a mean SVG though.

I love the leading questions in the SC interview
It’s more about drama and player story lines than basketball these days.
