He's shooting around .03 worse on his jumpers and .04 worse on his inside shots according to 82 games. Its a small drop off but definitely noticeable.

Hopefully he turns it around and starts shooting a little more efficiently. What worries me more is that teams aren't doubling him on the post as much anymore. He hasn't made them pay too often this year.

yep Ray's reverse is the only highlight ive seen tonight on offense. Someone needs to give KG and Paul an alarm clock

Some games he looks like he's just going through the motions.

I think the level of intensity we saw over the course of 82 games last season was extremely rare and we got spoiled by that.  Even the best teams do "go through the motions" a decent chunk of the time.  Last years team was a rare kind of focused.
Yup

Ray Allen doing a reverse layup is about as pretty as it gets in the NBA.

Also KG shot a career high fg% as well. It is not surprising he hasn't matched it during the start of this year. It is a long season though, I can't complain about KG. With him we're one of the three clear title favorites and the defending champions. Without him we're not. Even keeping Al Jefferson whom I love.

The alarm clock comment was one of Tommy's a few games back,when they were not playing great...thought maybe someone would pick up on it.

I've seen it before, but even still... Good Lord. TP
"Let me call him," Floyd said.

The man shook his head. "O.J. doesn't give out his cell," he said. "He'll call you."

It'd be nice to have a solid 3rd quarter surge to stretch the lead to double digits now....

My favorite moment of the season. I bought a framed photo of it to hang on my wall! Along with a Championship poster with the 5 starters and Posey.

A team like the Bobcats can be scary if you let them stay close in the fourth...if they get hot shooting 3's they can hurt you.I watched them win a few just that way in the late stages of the fourth.

Yeah, we should try to make a run as soon as possible. Lots of Celtics fans in the stands.

GSW@NYK - 64-82.... at half-time.
