We can't shoot from 2 (41%); we do pretty good from 3 (34%). They shoot 52% from 2 and 29% from 3.

The reason...I know you want to ask....

They have 36% of their shots at the rim, where they are shooting 64%. They are hitting 30% of their 2 point jumpers.

We only have 29% of our shots at the rim with a 59% field goal percentage and only 23% on 2 point jumpers.

I have been beating on the long 2 point jumper drum for years. It's still too high, but at least the number of 2 point jumpers we have taken is decreasing and the number of 3 points attempts is increasing.
