I'm confused about how a guy who can create a shot for others can have such bad shot selection for himself. For most of last night everyone that was taking shots took good shots, but Vince was mostly taking horrible shots. A lot of out of rhythm and off balance attempts. Very strange. Everyone else got them in the flow of the offense, but Vince felt the need to force things.
