    Aside from being 11-deep, I agree. :)

    This reminds me sooo much of when Ariza hurt Fernandez and he was never the same after.

    And let's be a bit fair...Kaman was on the floor and also bobbled two of those rebounds. And while I don't like it, you can't expect him bodying up MIrotic 26' from the hoop. :dunno:

    We're past the quarter-pole of the season. I don't think it's something you can just wave your hand at and say, "don't worry, it'll be fine." I mean, it might be fine and get better, but then again it might not.

    I think it is (too early). It's either a (really) long slump, or there's some sort of minor injury...or a combo of both. Confidence and psychology are HUGE, and the longer the slump continues the more that comes into play. Eventually his shot will come around - you just don't become a bad shooter over night - but I'm not counting on it coming back this month. I'll give it two weeks after the AS break before I'm concerned about our 5th/6th scoring option.

    2 bench pts total, Kaman -9, Crabbe -13..I'd say the bench collectively has played poorly

    I have an inherent bias towards people I watched, especially since I came along right about the shift to 3pt line, merger settled out, Stepien Rule done, etc. and I think everything's a bit more apple-to-apple.
