Some of that could be due to the shot blockers we've faced in both series. I've noticed it affect how other Pistons are finishing near the basket, as well.

My only criticism of Stuck is that he looks terrified to shoot the rock when he's open on the perimeter. He's proven that he can knock down the 20-footer. - He needs to stop freaking-out and SHOOT DAT THANG!

He just doesn't shoot for a very high percentage yet. His free throw stroke is a good sign. He also seems to be pretty comfortable from that range and a little beyond in the flow of the game.

But at college 3-point range he gets pretty shaky and real 3-point range he's about like Lindsey. I'm sure this will improve over time though.

He's best when he is looking to drive and finish or dish with a FT line jumper to punish the defense for packing the paint.

His sole focus this year should be learning to run the team.... now that he's starting to get that down, he can spend this summer shooting shooting and shooting...

He's far ahead of way Billiups was after his first season.... the future and potental (dangerous word) look bright.

Didn't he hit a three in game six of the Philly series? Stuck is the best 3-point shooter we've had since Will Blalock!

What ever happened to Will Blalock?

Is he going down that Fenis Dembo road?

I can relate to this. He gets up and then what? The finishing aspect is the most difficult, because of so many options. The longer the hang time, the more options. Or in a sense, a lack there of. It is knowing the offensive system and the movement.

I like the way that Nash uses the whole offensive pattern of movements. Outside, then out into a realm of internal movement from the weave, internalizing the zone of the paint.

There is know one who challenges the complexity of closeness. In a sense; it is the weave: the Navajo mesh of completeness.

Didn't see this posted anywhere else...

NBA.com: Durant, Horford Headline T-Mobile All-Rookie Team

Rodney made the All-Rookie 2nd team. Pretty cool. He's also the only member of either of those teams that is still playing.
