Yeah, he'll force a frustrating look every now and then...but that ain't changing. If he hits threes at this clip in the post-season, he's a huge, huge asset. (duh).

He's at 44.24% now. BTW, I forgot to mention (even as a big Eddie fan) another peeve of mine of his - the toe on the line 3. UGH!!! I mean it's at least one a game, sometimes three. How many points has he lost when 3s are now 2s and how many 3-point attempts and makes has it cost him on his stat sheet? On the one hand, I know he could undermine his balance (which is vital) if he was trying to force his feet behind the line, but still can't you run off your screens or whatever just a few inches deeper/wider and avoid the 23-foot 2 pointer? Aggravating. Still, anytime he's out near the line and I anticipate even the slightest daylight for him to launch (and if there is, he usually does), I'm already standing up off the couch, one arm in the air yelling "HIT THAT!" Rondo has plenty of moves and stellar plays. Ray, Pierce and KG of course do too, as do just about all the C's, but Eddie probably delivers the most consistent per minute excitement on this team, for me at least. Every minute he's on the floor, I'm just eager to see the ball head in his direction, when a shot looks to be developing, when it leaves his hand and you're waiting for the net to rip? Yeah, and he does that 4 times a game, in limited minutes. Tonight, there were good plays all around, but the only time I got animated was the TA alley oop and the handful of bombs Eddie let fly (he the couple he missed). His release is even faster than Ray's, which is saying something in and of itself. Plus, it really just looks like he's shot put flinging it he gets rid of it so fast and yet it's still a mechanical thing of beauty and he knocks it down over and over, from all spots, with guys in his jersey, whatever. Bang, bang, bang Eddie's got 9 points in 2 minutes and changed the game (either getting the C's back in or putting a game out of reach). Did I mention I'm a huge Eddie fan? And I haven't even mentioned his improved ball handling, full-effort defense, very good decision-making and of course his bench celebrations. Three of four tonight definitely helps.
