Or in other words, the Rockets had a 0.0013888% chance of missing all 27 threes if I pushed buttons correctly.

Yeah, that was crazy.

What I had a hard time understanding was they kept shooting them. I mean, I understand that's how they play.

But for a bit there, Gordon was getting to the rim any time he wanted to and Harden's drives were opening up lobs for Capela. Then they stopped and just started lobbing up 3's.

I understand that they don't want to be exchanging 2's for 3's...but it's better than exchanging 0's for 3's.

Imo, the ultimate difference in the series was, while the 3 is a big part of what the Warriors do, they are very good at finding the right balance on 2's vs. 3's.

Or 3 and 1 of those 9 free throws they missed.

ok sure. lol.

but which one is more rare? missing 27 consecutive 3s is ludicrous...... of course about 10 of those were HORRIBLE looks....... and never should've been taken..... Maybe they were actually going for the record!!!!

Yeah. Perimeter shooting teams MUST have a plan B if they want to win a ring.

Depends on who is shooting.

I know plenty of guys capable of missing 27 straight.
