    14.8 ppg on 13.1 FGA on 38% shooting, 2.5 3's at 48% behind the arc.

    4.1 rebounds, 6 assists, only 1.2 turnovers and 1.2 steals

    Not exactly scoring efficienty but I'm just happy hes making his 3's.

    The 5:1 asisst:TO ratio is what really impresses me.

    So far hes been taking taking great care of the ball all season long with a 4.1:1 ratio.

    Great to see him playing good, these are Rafer's 22 game winning streak numbers. Hope he keeps improving!

    13.1 FGA is not going to cut it.

    48% from three, but 38% from the field overall. Basically he's 15-31 from long range in the last 6 games and 15-48 from anywhere inside the arc.

    At least he is hitting open treys. But his inside game still hurts. Every time he goes to the basket with the intention to shoot the ball, I am worried.

    He'll come back to earth. Always does. But he is one of the few PGs that doesn't hurt you with mistakes. When he is feeling it we become an elite team. The only hope is that the playoffs align with his next hot streak.

    I am impressed too. But can we rehire the one who helped Rafer to finish better around the basketball last season? His still can't make the floaters to save his life.

    from what ive seen of his game this season, he likes to attack the basket and shoot the ball of the dribble. and it doesnt go in most of the time. brooks is better at attacking the basket with the intention of scoring because he shoots it off the board quite well. alston doesnt use the board. alston rather should attack the basket and kick out or drop it off to his big man, then rotate to an open spot so he can shoot those wide open threes.

    14.8ppg/13.1shots per game = 1.13 points per shot

    Blistering.

    Life just started feeling a little crappier.

    Clutch,
    if Ron Artest's poor fg % continue are going to voice your displeasure with him as much you have historically with rafer? sorry for the off-topic. just wondering

    NO SHOOTING INSIDE.
    NO PULL UPS ALLOWED ABSOLUTELY.
    NO TEAR DROPS.
    Take Open 3's
    Pass the Ball

    \end ragemode

    Thats all Rafer needs/must do.

    rafer can play like this all season long. he just has some things he shoud stop doing like pulling up on fast break for example. hes a solid point guard otherwise.
