Why does Shaq keep saying the Mavs shot poorly when they shot 47% from 3?
Shooting that good and losing is concerning.

Well he was talking about the 2nd half when the Mavs kept jacking up 3's and missing.

They scored like 13 points in the 3rd qtr because of the poor 3-point shooting.

Kenny Smith was right the Warriors are smart enough to know you can still get back in a game if the 3's aren't falling. They decided to keep attacking while Dallas decided they didn't need to attack anymore.

JB and Luka was basically getting any shot they wanted at the rim and completely stopped the entire 3rd qtr and Kidd for some reason refused to call timeouts.

He's speaking on the 2nd half of the game. We lived by the 3 in the 1st half and died by it in the 2nd. He's correct.

Yep

Sure we shot great in the 1st half but when you score just 13 points or something in the 3rd qtr and miss mostly all of your 3's that wipes out what you did to start the game.

I agree with Sha they shot poorly when it mattered most and I blame it their refusal to keep attacking the paint and Luka didn't post up at all when Curry had 3 fouls

Locked On Mavs is also questioning why they completely abandoned the offense that worked in the `1st half

Drive and kick out or take the layup and then they decided it would be smart for Luka to ISO looney just because he's a big.

You are right he is a BIG. But he's just a decent one. If it wasn't him it would've been someone else going off. I think the issue is more so Wiggins, Poole AND Looney. Too many role players going off. Can't happen at our place. Ours have to step up now.

I don’t understand why they can’t just start Maxi. He’s obviously the starting center. Rick did the same thing.

The paint is so embarrassing. Literally high school defense and layup drills.

I mean it’s a successful season regardless, they put away the suns, who has more talent. Warriors brought it all together at the right time. They look so much better than even the first series.

You agree that we shot poorly tonight? 47.4% FG / 46.7% from 3

I heard that exact segment and he was speaking on the 2nd half. Anyone who watched that game knows what he was saying. They started off hot and it fizzled. Just like most jump shooting teams.

Yeah, shooting that high of a percentage on a high volume should yield a win 99% of the time.
It was the wide open lane leading to 62 points in the paint that sealed our fate.

I think the high respect our defense gave the Warriors 3 point shooting helped Looney have a career game.
