    Stop what? He's been shooting great. Almost 60% from the three point line. He's ranked 14th in the league but a lot of the people in front of him haven't taken as many shots as he has.

    You don't know how to "checkmate."

    I said very clearly that it was how well he was shooting this "season."

    I made that clear.

    If I hadn't, then your "checkmate" would've been hilariously perfect.

    But it wasn't.

    Checkmate.

    What's your problem? I didn't say he was THE best. I said he was one of the best. And he is. He has been shooting GREAT this season. What is your problem with that?

    I'm glad to see he's no longer the league leader in jumpers made with one foot on the three point line.

    To be clear, Outlaw has shot 9 of 14 from the three point line in 5 games this season. And yes, I give props to Ariza's 5 of 7. Outlaw's a little more impressive since he's taken more shots.

    I'm with you Kingspeed. If people are going to go overboard when he doesn't play well and we lose, we might as well celebrate to the extreme when we win and Travis plays a great game, which he did.

    I thought Batum was once again good enough to play more minutes, but Travis really showed tonight why Nate still has faith in him. He had some huge rebounds, which I appreciated more than anything.

    9 of 14. <--- that's what he is shooting this season

    He was our 2nd best last year, behind only James Jones.

    Outlaw's three point shooting is overlooked for some reason. That's why I started this thread. Last season and now this season, he is shooting the three point ball well.
