I think sometimes when we look at the shot quality and we look at the shot profile, and just to break down even more what you were saying, like the shot quality data on second spectrum, which accounts for the player who's actually taking the shots, like... They're vastly like the Celtics are vastly undershooting what they're at.

Their effective field goal percentage is like, according to those numbers, it'll even out by game. Exactly. Right. The whole point of that stat is a, it's a projection of if you continue this process over a very large sample size, this is most likely where the numbers will regress to or improve to. That is the point of that stat. But at some point, But you got to actually make the shots.

And if you're not making the shots, you got to take ones that are lesser variance when you're up 20. Because you don't want high variance when you're up 20. You want high variance when you're down 20. And if you're not the ones creating the high variance, which by the way, the Knicks often aren't. The Knicks are a team that finished like bottom 10 in the league in free throw, right?

They were a team that finished 28th in the league in three point attempt, right? Like they aren't a very high variance team. They were fifth in the league in offensive rating, but after January 1st, they were 13th, 14th in points per possession. Like this is, this is a team that is good at what it's good at, but it does not play a high variance form of basketball.

If you're down 20 and you're the Knicks and You are, you are just, you are glowing at the fact that the Celtics are the ones creating the high variance basketball for you. Cause that's the only way you're coming back from down 20 in the second half is to create some sort of element of that.
