Have you been watching Johnson? Dude is consistently bricking shots left and right. I would say that is the only thing he can accomplish on the bball court.

That's why I said he should be practicing it. The thing is, there is hope, cuz he has just been very inconsistent; he shot 20% from deep for one month, and then 50% the other, so with more practice and experience, hopefully playing with Lin would help him. (or Chip Engelland? Look what he did with Kawai!)

To be fair, Byron also apparently said this today: "I don't believe (3-point shooting) wins championships, gets you to the playoffs."

Which is a pretty preposterous notion in today's NBA. To be clear -- there's no one correct way to win basketball games. But if he honestly thinks this, that the 3-point shot can't and hasn't already been used as a tremendously viable weapon, that speaks pretty poorly to his mindset as a coach.

3s win championships as part of an overall scheme. Strong defense, ball movement, fewer turnovers, will, rebounding, some luck, sometimes a call or two, wins championships. But 3's by Horry, Fisher and others played a big role in championships. Byron may be right in that a team heavily relying on 3s doesn't win championships, that could be GWs flaw.
