No Jump Shooters

[MuggsyB]

We need more relaxed shooters.
This team is uptight.
Relaxed shooters are good shooters whatever the shot.

Interesting point.  Why are we anxious out there?

Was Gold relaxed when he hit those 3 wide-open 3s in the second half but not relaxed when he missed the wide-open 3s he took in the first half. How do you know?

He's allowed to render an opinion.  We do seem a little shpilkes out there for major stretches.

Did I say he wasn't allowed an opinion? I asked him a question. Thanks for officiating, though!

I think our shooting is shpilkes.  Our passing is shpilkes.  Our rebounding and rudimentary catching is shpilkes.  We're also on skates defensively, a.k.a. shpilkes.  And this is why scoopers are shpilkes and in full meltdown mode.

SGA utilizes both the step-back, and stop and pop, inside of 17 feet.  And from all spots on the floor. 

Why doesn't shaka try to recruit him?

He also has the floater in his bag.  It's never a bad thing to have tremendous variety in your arsenal.

What's a shpilke?

I bet someone who can't play off two feet is one of those

It's a great word and aptly describes our situation.

I get your point 82, but sometimes Ben looks so hesitant to shoot wide open threes he does look like a freshman. If there is anyone on our team that needs to say "WTF let it fly" it's Ben.  When he has to shoot quickly (when he doesn't have time to think) he seems to go straight up and have more arc on 

As much as Shaka has Caedin screaming that he's the badest guy in the Big Easr, he needs to have Ben shouting the same about shooting until he becomes unconscious when he is open from three.

We do a terrible job of slowing down and using basic footwork/intelligence to drain buckets in the paint.

This bothers me so much. Royce is a big problem in this department. They get the look and panic. All fundamentals go out the window when we get close to the basket.

Whatever happened to playing off two feet and playing through contact?
