Raja usually shoots extremely well in the playoffs, and he's a much smarter defender (not nearly as athletic though), so he would have been an excellent role player for us.

We were actually pretty damn fortunate that things turned out the way that they did (getting SB after all else failed).

Having said that, Brown's been awesome. If he keeps this up then he's going to mess around and get a starting job over Fisher.

Maybe he means he's glad it worked out. Shannon came back much more improved than anyone could have predicted.

The real hero here is Craig Hodges. "Oh ariza left? i'll just birth a new one" he said...and it happened.

Also its times like these when I think how lame people who say Phil jackson is only successful because he coaches great players. The man knows how to squeeze 200% out of every single player on his roster and Shannon is one of the best examples. He has a knack for raising the confidence of his players, on a permanent basis. Sasha or Luke wouldn't survive a minute in the NBA playing for any different coach.

Does anyone know which shooting coach Shannon worked out with this summer? Did he go to the Pete Newell camp? His shooting has transformed overnight.
