It's not so much the misses and makes as
1. Blocking out
2. Hitting the offensive glass
3. Establishing and not reliquishing position
That Sheed comment bothered me (not very much, this defines nitpicking) because I wish Sheed would have mentioned Dyess when they threw him the softie of asking if he wanted to win a ring for Webber.
I think Chris has a lot of desire, and 'want to' but he just seems to psyche himself out in the big moments/games.
I guess I don't really question his heart it's more his mental toughness and fortitude, what John Thompson used to call 'shrinkage' late in games.
