I agree, it can totally screw your shot up, but if you're as good as a player as he is, you should be able to get it back.

My problem with Troy is I think it's mental. He's put up some shots that haven't even come close at times. Several air balls. Cumberland hits the rim on most shots. Cumberland shooting 42 percent right now I feel better about it continuing. Troy is missing on all different sides. He's like a golfer not knowing if his ball is going left or right. You can adjust if it's short or long and on line...But not missing all 4 sides.

Cumberland is 0-12 when he only takes 1-2 shots from 3. He's close to 60 percent when he takes more than 2. He's adjusting to his misses. Troy is just as likely to make or miss his 4th 3 attempt than his first. Cumberland is more likely to make it.

Historically KJ has also been a guy that needs to see his shot go in. Cumberland is not. He adjusts to missed shots very well and gets better as the game rolls on generally speaking. That doesn't mean he won't miss as the game goes on...Just that it's less likely.

There are some guys you say...Just keep shooting. Cumberland is one of them. KJ and Troy...Not so much...Imo.

So, maybe that 25 point win is gonna happen after all!they are on fire - crowd is better than I thought too!

LOL, how many regular readers were thinking this during the game. It gave us all something to stick around for. Bearcat Boy, you got the last laugh lol.

Caupain just isn't a good shooter. I honestly wonder if it's all the bench pressing.

Maybe , but he is also " pressing". Mick himself said this earlier in the year. Said it is hard for seniors.

He's been pressing for 1.5 years. Maybe Mick needs to look at his actual production as far as shooting goes. He's been pretty good at assists to turnovers and Rebounds etc. Maybe he just needs to do more facilitating. Shooting is not his gig. He was "pressed" into being the go to guy last year. It didn't work. A couple of times it did...But not consistently.
