Consider this since blowing a 17pt lead a good way thru Q3 of last night's game vs the Warriors - The C's rank 3rd in 2-pt shooting in the NBA but are dead last in number of 2-pt shots attempted. They missed 41 of 58 threes attempted last night but with that 17pt lead and Curry on the bench w/ 5 PFs, they continued to take threes despite missing them even though they were "good shots" according to Mazz, in lieu of building upon their lead with lowly twos. Mazz focused on the 20 or so missed layups rather than the 41 missed threes in his post game wrap up. Mazz doesn't see the forest for the trees ... just stats and KPIs (key performance indicators) that tell him 3-pt shots and an abundance of them is the key to success. Never mind building your lead to 20-30pts making it impossible for your opponent to catch up without depending upon shooting nearly all threes themselves at a high percentage to do so ... Mazz is being questioned again by the pundits but has an ace up his sleeve - Brad Stevens - otherwise he'd be ripe for replacement!

Why JB doubling down helping? Porzingas can handle his man.
