Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 231514, member: 837"] ... making open shots. I realize this is nothing new, nor is it the only problem. But I think the nagging problem that -- with or without fab -- makes this team unlikely to win a title or even go all that deep is the fact that they often struggle to make open shots. Combine that with a struggle to consistently get good looks and it's a major issue. Today, in the last minute of the first half and the first 10 minutes of the second half you saw Joseph air ball a WIDE open 3, miss badly on a second open 3, Waiters hit the top of the backboard on an open 3, Triche miss a picture perfect 3 from the wing and southerland missed a really good look at three (at this point they were 3-for-19 from deep). I know it goes without saying, but you simply have to make shots. For all the issues we had today, if we make a decent percentage of our open jumpers, we win rather easily. [/QUOTE]
