Sprewell wasn't concerned, either, but he'll have to do more if his team is going to stick with Sacramento. Sometimes guys don't play well," Minnesota coach Flip Saunders said. "They don't shoot well. He did other things. You do little things, and they can add up to big results. He did some things defensively, getting some steals and getting an open-floor layup. I'm not worried about him. He'll play much better on Saturday." "Keep shooting," Sprewell said. "Go out and play. Not worry about it. Just try to focus on what you have to do to help your team win. Just because you're not shooting well doesn't mean you can't do other things, be effective in other ways on the court." Sprewell spent about 20 minutes shooting jumpers well after Thursday's practice was over, perhaps a sign that he took his paltry output seriously even if he wouldn't acknowledge concern.</div> Link
The only thing that scares me is how hesitant Spree was before he pulled the trigger on those open shots. It tells me he didnt have any confidence in his shot. No way are you going to make those shots the way Spree kept pump faking & thinking before he shot. Hopefully the Wolves get him a few good looks early in the game, & he knocks them down. That will get Spree right back on track. And he needs go to the Basket if his shot isnt falling, stop settling for the 3.
yea he has been really hesitant. he needs to go to the hole early, get himself in a rhythm. but we REALLY need him to score. da big 3 have to be on if we're to have a chance.
