WATCHING CINCINNATI...

[oreobob]

Tre is shooting 19 percent from 3, 29 overal over last 4 games. If he is best shooter next Thursday, U C must have crappy shooters.

Trevon is in a slump and I think he is best player on either team.But saying that in two previous shootouts he has been non existent. I think it is pretty even the talent on both teams.Home game for sUCks and they are actually due to beat us. Hope I'm wrong

To clarify, I said our big 3 are more talented.. didn't say they were playing better, which as we well know is not the case.

Probably some truth to all of it, but "pure shooter" is really a worthless term. There are guys who make shots and those who don't. Some who were historically great shooters had awful looking shots. TB shot well % wise last year from 3, but he's settled back into his first year range at the bottom of the 30's again this year so the jury is still out. 3's get a lot of love naturally given their impact on the game, but honestly they are there for the taking by almost any player. Is there a bad 3? Yes, the ones you do not make. The one thing that does stick out in these comparisons for the shootout which is related is Cincy has 20% more assists, like 50 or 60 added thru 18 games. Generally a sign of more patience to get a shot, and it helps when you have guys down low who can score.
