It's unfortunate he has slumped back into his bad shooting, at the same time that chalmers cools way off from outside, miller never found consistency, and jones fell off the map.. combine with wade's 10% season from 3 and lebron losing his 3 point shot for this series

I always thought he loved the corner 3, like that was his career shot. Guess he's too open.

Battier has the worst rotations and kevin durant consistently rapes battier,What happened to him he use to be an elite defensive player? Battier is having Carmelo flashbacks

His shooting has been spectacular (although probably not sustainable) and helped get us a big lead in both games.

He can't cover Durant at all but Lebron should be covering him anyway.

Its like he's been saving all his bulletts for the Finals. I really hope he continues. Guys were screaming at the bar where I was watching the game. :lol:

If he keeps it up, the Thunder are going to think twice before doubling up on DWade or LeBron. We can finish these bitches in Miami. 8-)

I'm going to Game 5 and I want to witness a championship celebration. :D

The real key to why Battier is struggling is because he´s in a shooing slump (Captain Obvious I know), but the shooting slump has also made him lose confidence. The lack of confidence has lead to him questioning his shot, and at times passing it back to James or Wade which is a problem. The lack of confidence has also affected even the simple aspects of his game easy layups etc.

However Battier does not suck he´s a great professional who puts in work on and off the court, he´s versatility on defense and corner threes will be pivotal in the postseason. Right now he´s overthinking it he needs to continue working on the shot, but I´ll make sure to bump this in the postseason to show how much he sucks ;)

I don't like how Mike Miller got all of the post-game spotlight and nobody interviewed Shane Battier.

Miller shows up for ONE game, while Battier has been there ALL SERIES shooting amazingly from the 3pt line.......

I wanted to see Battier get a lot of love.... instead, nobody interviewed Shane, and Miller got interviewed like 4 times.
