Battier needs to just stop taking shots

 

Shane Battier has officially become the Chuck Hayes of wing players. I am sorry, but Shane has been shooting horrendously all season long. I love Shane, but his shooting needs to be worked on again.

 

OK...at this point, Im adamant:

WHY is Deke not seeing ANY minutes?
It's crazy. Will he be conditioned/seasoned/ready if we should need him in some critical period of the playoffs?

This is the perfect scenario to get him some minutes.

 

that's wide open.

 

I believe Deke only plays against Contenders of the West or East. Not lottery teams. It would be even bigger insult to him if you make him play garbage time.

 

is it me, but does battier always shoot it too long?

 

they've all been wide open. all year.

 

He didnt play any minutes against Utah the other night, did he?

 

15...

 

I'm sure the goal is to get the young players more playing time and experience. however, your point about whether Deke will be in condition to play when we need him is a good one.

 

Wafer, should call you Waker

 

gay and mayo have made a number of tough shots against the D in the 2nd half. we're still in they're face on almost every shot.

 

13....

 

Our finishers are not finishing.

 

I question that part, Maybe it was a bad matchup for him. Even though he did stop Boozer pretty well in last year's playoffs.

I question Rick Adelman's decision to give players playing time.

 

Rick Adelman boggles me.

 

Shane Battier and his horrible shooting percentage. When is this guy going to lift it up?

 

The Rockets are not playing smart right now. Why are they trying to run and take quick shots when they have a double digit lead? Just play under control and good defense and it will be a win.

 

if wafer is ice cold put in berry. geez... 1-7 shooting. If we are resting yao put in deke to clog the paint.

 

Wafer is dry tonight. He can't get it going.
