That pecking order thing was pretty aparent last night in the Denver/ Spurs game. When Steve Blake elected to take a shot under pressure, it was like the music stopped. You could just feel that he was the odd man out. He finally hit his first shot of the game with 1 minute left, but he stepped on the 3-point line and then Bob took over.

Anyone here who has played in a pick-up game with players who are much better than you will understand. You just don't feel comfortable jacking up your normal shots until you establish yourself and feel like your teammates want you to shoot them.
