This is a good topic.

My feelings towards Donte's play are in agreement with several here, and have been in other posts:  he
had to take threes, because nobody else on that team could.  But you wanted more out of him.
And if you wanted him down low, again, the whole team was post guys (KOng, Harris, Jackson, Onuaku),
so with a team of post guys, and no shooters, that's where he went.

My criticism of Cooney shooting is he just takes so many bad shots.  JB doesn't want Patterson to take
any threes, but at least all his shots are wide open, square to the hoop, and he can get set for the shot.
Cooney will make that shot all day.  Just like Gbinije did Saturday:  those were shots where he was square,
he was set, and stepping towards the hoop with the shot/followthru.  And he hits 5-6.  How many times 
do you see Cooney fading away, turning while he shoots, with one falling out of bounds prayer that went 
in?  [B]LOTS[/B]!  That's why he goes 10-26, or 4-14, etc.  At some point, even a designated shooter has to think 
"Yes, I can take this shot, and it might go in, but it's not a good shot, maybe I should pass it up."
