I figured out Boozers problem... I think.

Two things.

I've watched him play the first few games and this last game against the Spurs kinda confirmed it to me.

I've wondered if he has two shots as he was shooting the ball so badly in the first few games and in the Spurs game he shot it differently than the first few games and it went in.

He has this shot that goes above his head and my guess is when he is thinking about his shot he drifts the ball back a little further and lets it "flip" behind his head. He rarely makes those. But when he shoots in the action of the game and doesn't think about his shot he just shots from the top of his head and doesn't "flip the ball".

The other thing is he has been shooting too much from the outside. His strengths are inside moves.... going left OR right and finishing around the basket. He should leave the outside shooting to the guards (Korver we need you back big time) and Okur. What happened to the pick and roll, dang they need to get Boozer involved in the things that made him an all star. Inside is where he should stay.
Go ReAL!

Agreed and have agreed, over and over. He needs to take it to the rack, even though he rarely gets a break from the refs when he does so.
