    He's not forcing it though, he's trying to take those shots. He actively seeks them out. He is obviously uncomfortable shooting the 3 and thinks a 22 footer is easier than a 23 footer. He needs to get over his mental block and realize that taking a half step back behind the 3 point line isn't a big difference. He's a big boy, he's strong enough to shoot that shot without breaking form. If he's going to throw up a low percentage jumper I'd rather it be worth an extra point when he makes it.

    I just don't understand why Stotts is wasting minutes on Leonard when Harkless has been playing so well.

    Which is why I'm not advocating to tell him to stop shooting altogether. Just make it worth your while if you're already out there.

    God damnit, Dame, play under control and run the offense. I've seen enough of us dicking around this quarter.

    Lillard now with Five 4-point plays this season. Tied with Jamal Crawford for tops in the league

    In a Commercial World, I like to imagine that Dame hangs out in Standard TV & Appliance and tests mattresses.

    I said it earlier, but I think you have to keep giving Meyers a chance to earn minutes. You can always play Harkless more if Leonard is hurting us, or find other ways to get Harkless in.

    Also, some matchups will suit Meyers better than Harkless.

    Harkless really surprises me with his ability to finish around the rim in traffic from a standstill.

    Why do you keep having to give someone a chance? Meyers has had 3.5 years of chances.

    Well it took 2.5 of those years for his head to peek out of his ass enough to start being useful... That's why they all these types of players projects.
