Scrolling through threads, it looks like a lot of folks are struggling more than in other years. Definitely not sure what's causing that, but anecdotally from watching games, it looks to me like teams are hunting the three even more than in season's past. That can lead to long possessions, which means fewer possessions for the game, which can lead to higher variance.

Doesn't make losing any more fun, but I take a little comfort in knowing it's not just me.
