It is working, but I don't like it

This is a very good 3-point shooting team. We are putting up a lot of shots from the arc and making them at a high rate. Still, I don't like that very much. I like it that we are making them, but not that we are shooting so many of them (almost a third of our attempts). I can never forget that maxim, "Live by the three; die by the three." Some nights your shots don't fall, and then what do you do? If we get too accustomed to jacking up the bombs (a.k.a. not having to work hard for our points), we may get out of the habit of taking the other course. No Plan B. This particularly is a problem come tournament time, when you do not get a second chance.
