Denver made 25 shots outside of the paint in game five. The average, because this is something that I look at over the course of a year, when you add up the threes and mid-range for the entire league in the regular season, the league averages 17.2 made field goals outside of the paint per game. So if you're hitting 25, that's well over average, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It was the Pleasantville offense. I think Denver took as many shots outside the paint as they did inside the paint, which, again, that's just not how Denver really goes about it. But if you're going to make 25 out of 47 shots outside the paint, I mean, that sounds like what Denver would make inside the paint for a game. Especially in this series.

The Clippers would have taken a flip of those numbers. We're fine with you making 25 in the paint. Obviously, you're not going to want 23 shots outside the paint as much, especially if 17 of those are threes. That's where it feels like this was an outlier game, but if you're the Clippers... you're going to obviously have to make it not just hard on Jamal, but respect Russell Westbrook.

You can't keep saying we're not worried about Russell Westbrook and then watching this dude get confidence and retain his confidence as a scorer. Russ had one assist the whole night. Yeah. This was not like, I'm going to make my other play.

Russ was like, I had time off. I'm getting these buckets. And if you let that happen on your home floor, you get what you deserve. So you can chalk this up as an outlier game. The Clippers had an outlier game. That was game three. They had a bunch of dudes who made shots. A bunch of dudes who have since not made shots. You know, I'm not even talking about Chris Dunn. Chris made his shots.

But, you know, the thing with Chris is Chris is going to get open shots because they're not respecting him. You know? Yeah. And it's good that Chris made those shots. He's going to have to make them early when the game counts. Chris had a couple of possessions to start the game where he missed the open three. He had a near turnover. He he got a four minute start.
