Seeing as how he cant get open to shoot, I fail to see how he has a good game. Maybe he hits some spot up 3's?
Hes done in my opinion, at least until he gets that surgery, he cant play in his current state.
I remember when I told the board here that Ray was a spot up shooter at this point in his career, everyone called me crazy.
Hes even below a spot up shooter now.
Now, hes a "Decoy"
How the mighty have fallen, I hope he gets back to 100% after that surgery.
good points, even if they are not what we want to hear right now. ray has based his game on being methodical and having the same release, same movements, same mechanics to achieve his great shooting.
with the pain he feels, i think he cant get into his usual rhythm. what is he shooting in the playoffs for free throws now? something along the lines of 60% i believe. even with a small sample size, this indicates something is wrong with ray.
i hope he can produce when needed, but for now he may indeed be best as a decoy.
on a different notw, rondo is the opposite of ray in terms of repetition and repeating shoot mechanics. rondo shoots from such a wild range of positions, angles, etc.
i have believed this is part or rondo's poor shooting percentages career wise.
