    we saw what happens when he shoots off the dribble - be thankful he is only shooting three's. Wide-open ones at that.

    Anything else would be worse.

    Because teams leave him wide open and he's an NBA PG. He should knock the open shot down a lot more consistantly.

    It's obvious we need a better shooter at his position.

    Hopfully this issue gets solved during the off season. I can't put up with him anymore.

    he shoots the 2s at a lower percentage than 3s i think he is 3/500 on floaters for the year and its not like he drives and dishes, so lets see... he cant make 3s, he cant make 2s, and he cant drive and dish...great PG !

    What happened to Novak??

    I hope JVG doesn't expect Novak to come in and start bombing threes and playing like an all-star when the playoffs start.

    because he is wide open.
    that is the technique rox has been using for the whole season. tmac or yao got double teamed and the ball will be passed to players wide open for 3 pts.
    don't blame him anymore. rafer is never very good at 3 pts and he can miss it. but he is the only player we have who can bring the ball to the front court in 5 secs without a to. so suck it up.

    would it hurt him to drive in, create contact, and maybe draw a foul???

    Lakers game.....Rafer-18 shots. first of all pg's should not be shooting 18 shots. not even steve nash...11 of them were threes! are you kidding me?
    Yao- 18 shots

    he's shooting as many shots as yao??? are you kidding me?

    drive in. get to the line Rafer (tmac should do this too).....Rafer shot the ball 18 times and go to the line 4 times. i believe all 4 freethrows were results of Laker intentional fouls to stop the clock...

    Grah, I know this is unfair, since Nash is way beyond Rafer's calibre, but Nash...shoots 53%, yet he takes less shots then Rafer. How this makes ANY SENSE at all is beyond me.

    they shoot about the same amount of shots...the thing is nash only averages 4 threes again...Rafer: Almost 7
