Grizzlies maul Wolves in comeback win | Celtics bounce back

And so I think to some extent, you know, they dominated the first couple months of the season, and they got to December to January. And it was a little tough reincorporating Chris Asporzingas because he plays very different. But I think also it's just kind of. the motivation is tougher to find than, than it was last year.

So you can say that, but then you can also look at during this nine and eight stretch, they've shot something like 34 percent from the arc, which is very rare and will probably never happen again. And they have like the fourth ranked offense or third ranked offense during that time. And part of that is because they do have such a such a high three point volume.

And part of that is because the math suggests like if good shooters get up that many shots, it's going to be really tough to keep that offense down. And that's part of the reason why they've been so efficient at the rim is because you have to worry about everyone on their roster firing away. And so I think, yes, you do have to have other things to go to.

And I think Porzingis coming back, getting him in the post. Jalen Brown has developed as a post player. Jason Tatum in ISO has been more efficient than anyone else so far this season. There are other ways they can score. But, yeah, like if you do shoot. low 30s for a month in the playoffs, then maybe you don't survive that. But I don't think they're the only team that that would be the case for.

I think pretty much any team, if you go through a cold shooting stretch, will have real difficulties. So it's interesting because if their three-point percentages were just normal during this streak, how different would it be? How many more games would they have won? And so you can point to shot luck, but also at the same time, it's like,

I think the process going into those looks hasn't been quite the same as it was earlier this season. The thing that Joe Missoula has pointed out a couple of times is like, they're not, they're also not getting up as many threes as it did earlier this season. It was like 50, they were averaging 52 threes attempted per game for a while, which is insane.

And over the last month or so, it's been down to about 45. So I think he would be okay with them getting up more. And I think it's, it's, part of the clunkier process that they've had that they haven't gotten those up and also bringing poor Zingas back. Obviously, he's going to take more twos. He's going to take more post-ups.
