Redd wide open = Redd has time to think = Redd miss

[Andrew34r]

Thinking about wide open shots is not grounds to trade anyone. Taking a ton of double-teamed shots down the stretch is the much larger issue. If Redd is wide open in a close game in the 4th quarter, of course I want him to take the freakin' shot, he's still the best shooter on the team.

Cant argue with that.

Redd is an "in rhythm" shooter. He shoots best when he takes a dribble/puts it through his legs or whatever.

Gee another Redd bashing thread. Surprising.

Sigra notes a current trend, and spins a whole theory from it. Maybe we all do that, more or less.

My explanation is that the new system, the inside/out thing, has Redd off balance, mentally. So he's missing more shots than usual. Like anyone confronted with a new order of things, an order that carries possible threats to his status and self-image, it's going to take a bit of time to see if:

* he adapts

* he can't adapt

The time for drawing conclusions is yet to arrive...
