I hate that Arenas leaning jumpshot. He's gonna get that blocked from behind sooner or later (not that he's ever going to make the shot anyway). He starts pulling up before he's even around the screen.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I wish Arenas would take it to the rim more. Getting a little annoyed by that pull up jumper he takes when there's an open lane to the basket.

exactly.....he's not playing like himself and i don't know what to think cause i know it's not his knee....my worst fear is that the system is restricting him from playing like he did in 2010 but i hope i'm way off about that

It's still better than Vince's fall away

Edit: Note: I did not say FADE away

He already has gotten it blocked. Can't remember what game, but someone blocked it coming off of the screen from behind.

Yeah, the system tells him to take the pull-up jumper off of PnR instead of attacking the basket.
