    just like last night. he's a much better shooter than alston, and much better at attacking the rim, why did he always pass to alson?

    He's just an unselfish player. I agree. he should take it to the hoop more, and look for his own offense. For us to be successful, Battier will have to step it up like he did last night.

    Battier only attacks when he has a height advantage. They put Raja Bell on him last night, so he posted up Bell. That baby hook is not good enough to use against all SFs.

    For instance, he should not attack Kirilenko, but he should attack Harpring.

    he should definitely go to the block more when he has the size advantage but lets hope he does keep up his aggressiveness in terms of shooting...everywhere else on the court he has no problem with that

    Definitely. We're at our best when he's shooting his baby hooks, not to mention the other team isn't prepared for it.
