Brunson obviously has the ability to score at a high level with isolations, but he's not a guy that's breaking guys down off the dribble and getting all the way to the rim, right? He's usually getting floaters or awkward shots. Yeah. This is the second time, and this is the third time since November 10th that they've shot 32 or less threes in a game. One against Indiana, one against Philly.

I believe the Indiana, I can't remember if both of them were wins. I know the Philly one was a win. I can't remember Indiana. But I think they got to, what, 30 tonight, 29 tonight from three-point attempts. They just really struggled to get up threes against switching teams and I think a lot of it is they don't know, do I take my man? They don't really move as much.

There's a couple things, and our colleague Fred Katz wrote a good piece last week on the weird season Mikael Bridges is having, because I agree the best way to describe it is weird. If you look at his two-point numbers, he's shooting the mid-range as good as anybody in the league, right? But above the break threes, he's in the teens.

And I wonder if the hitch in his shot has something to do with the further distance threes. As he's shotting better, he shoots much better in the corners. And obviously, as we know, that's much shorter distance than โ

than on the wings uh and then you he doesn't get to the hole off the dribble all his baskets and he had one last night against dallas but that was like the first in a while usually a lot of his shots at the rim come off cutting he's not a guy that's breaking guys off the dribble and getting to the rim and when he does isolate he tends to always even if he has a lane to the to the basket he usually stops and shoot a mid-range jump that little pull-up

He really likes that. I asked him about it a few weeks ago and he said playing with two of the greatest mid-range shooters of all time helped rub off on him a little bit. I do agree with him too. He talked about in the playoffs it's very key to be able to get any type of shot, but it's like throughout the course of the regular season, you can never make too many of those shots.
