Man I love this story because Novak is one of my favorites on this team... He;s the one I've watched more than anyone and I feel like this guy may be to Yao/McGrady what Kerr and Paxon were to Jordan. The Taxer or the Punisher. Visa, "Don't leave the Line with out him!"
Wasn't that what happened when the basket got nullified by JVG calling timeout (I'm going to hate that new rule)? IIRC a defender was charging him as he brought the ball up to shoot and then he side-stepped and got closer then drained the shot. The reason I remember that play was because Novak had missed 3 straight 3s and was surprised how quicky he could move, get set and release the shot.
I really don't think he needs to be the Roy... I think he is more valuable to this team than Roy because of the Threat of Bombing on victims and keeping them honest... Check out this Hella - Squad ... Yao Battier Novak Wells T-Mac
Dude, Novak only need 7,8 shots a game~ making >3 3pointers every game, that's all he needs to do! A 50% 3point shooter~! And maybe you didn't read previous blogs, VGD told Novak: "shooting the ball is your first option" You wait and see him in the 3 pt shootout during Allstar week!
