The team is hitting 36% of its threes, which is league average. Shooting a lot of threes has proven to be a recipe for success, as it not only scores but stretches the defense.

I'm not sure what you mean by "we got to get" Draymond and Jimmy involved in running the offense. That seems like something we already do.

We shot 35.4% from 3 in our past 20 games but we've been wildly erratic. The past 2 games we couldn't throw the ball in the ocean. The three games before that, we shot really well from 3. The two games before that, we were bad from 3.

Our shooting is like the little girl with the little curl that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote about: "When she was good, She was very, very good / But when she was bad she was horrid."

Which is an extreme reason to avoid the play in.

Ok, I put perplexity to work. Standard deviation is a statistic that helps understand amount of deviation from an average. Apparently the Warriors are middle of the pack in the NBA on this. Timberwolves and Cavs are among the best, Thunder and Nuggets among the worst. This doesnтАЩt take into account shooting volume. Also very possible that I asked the question wrong, or Perplexity screwed up.

I bet ChatGPT could figure out the 3 point shooting variance (or some other appropriate stat to help understand this) for every NBA team. When the Dubs vary team shooting wildly, though, itтАЩs still insanely frustrating.
