i am really glad someone else noticed this. i saw about 3 or 4 times amir got great position in the post, tayshaun was ready to throw him an entry pass, and then just waited about 10 seconds and forced amir to set a screen so tay could shoot a long jumper 2 feet inside the 3-point line. it was stupid, especially as he went 4/11 on the night. he looked like jarvis out there. i'm all for tay being aggressive (and i know he was moreso because rip was out), but dude if you're cold, stop shooting.
jarvis has been here a year and still hasn't realized that he is not a great shooter while moving, but he is a great shooter when his feet are set and he's standing still.
afflalo got hosed by a few calls, but he looked really good early, scoring 5 of our first 7 points. ford is really quick though.
stuckey looked awesome in the 2nd half/4th quarter. i was really mad when chauncey pulled up for that 3 when we were only down 5-6 and stuckey was hot. it's a shot when didn't need.
sheed looked bored against rasho and gave him open shots, but rasho can hit those. sheed could've dominated him if he wanted but it seems like he felt the dude was beneath him, and didn't try very hard.
since wins/losses don't matter much anymore, we can look to every game now as playoff preparation, and stuckey's performance was good enough for me to come away from the game satisfied.
