This sina.com article says Shane, Luther and Rafer stayed behind after the team practice (Dec 4) and worked hard on their 3pt shootings.

Well from that article, it said the poor shooting form continued for the 3 of them.....

Shane Battier could only make 2 to 3 out of 10 attempts. Man, that's horribly low considering those shots were uncontested.

Well, let me try to salvage their nights with the following; this is what Shane Battier wrote on his China Peak sponsored blog on sina.com vowing to find his shooting feel/touch and rhythm back !!

November 29, 2007

The NBA season is so long that there are natural peaks and valleys that every player goes through. I am going through one of those valleys right now. I just can't seem to find my rhythm and make any shots. I am shooting a career low 38% from the field. I have always prided myself on being an efficient player and I always expect myself to shoot a high percentage. I always say, "I don't take a lot of shots, but I make the shots I take count!" hahaha.

I know that shooting slumps are part of the game. The most important thing that I must do is stay positive and continue to work hard on my shooting. I am a very routine oriented player. I do the same pre-game shooting drills every game. I start my warm-up with left and right handed hooks. I must make 10 hook shots in the post with both my left and right hands on both sides of the court. After my hook shots, I must make 20 shots from 15 feet from the corners and the free throw line. After those 80 makes, I must make 50 three point shots. After the three point shots, I must make 20 free throws. I do this routine every day whether it is a practice day or a game day. Over the course of a season, I will make over thousands of shots. The repetition of my stroke is the most important aspect of my practice. When I am shooting well, I know in the split second after the ball has left my hand whether or not I will make the shot. When I am really aware of my shooting, I can pinpoint every shot that I miss and understand why I missed the shot. I do not get to that understanding until I put in the thousands of repetitions in practice.

I know that I will begin to make shots and my percentages will rise. I must continue to focus and concentrate on my practice so that the games become as effortless as practice.

Stevie looks like he lost a pound or two since the beginning of the season.

Nice pics and maybe because I'm bored I can't help putting captions to them.

I wish I was playing World of Warcraft.

Hey baby you remind me of an Alston boxscore. A brickhouse...

Now when I furrow my brow like this does it make me look thoughtful?

I call this my Billy D. Williams look.

Hold on a second I think I see a donut over there.

Hold on a second I gotta take that donut away from Bonzi. Coach punishes all of us if Bonzi is caught eating donuts.

I do why do you think Rafer is still starting.

Looks like AB is getting a lot of action in practice, and Battier isn't giving any slack to the rookie.

LOL at yao's picture, "whos your daddy!"
