I also know why his shoot'n % is down as well as his attempts are down as well. Hurts me to say it outloud and admit it. As great of shape as he is in...and as well as he takes care of his body...Ray is old. I know I know he isn't old old, but he has a whole lot of miles on those legs. Running through screens on O and D and all the jump shots in games and even more in practice and on his own time. His elevation on all of his shots is not as high...(watch film from b4 joining the C's and each year since) and he seems to has less stamina. His commitment to defense that he had never invested b4 anywhere else. (not to say that he is a stop'r but it's the effort that counts) Combine that with playing with 3 other stAr players in truth kg & rondo equals a few less shots....especially since rondo is getting anyone and everyone looks plus he will be taking a few more I hope and since the team seems to be focused on getting kg the ball more. Look Ray wether he makes or misses is allways a nightmare to guard. You can't leave him. You can't dbl off of him. God forbid you loose him through screens or in transition....bang! Count it! Even IF he is slowing down and taking what the D gives him....it's not a bad thing if anything all the penitration, drives to the hoop, and mid range is opening up his full arsenal which makes him even more dangerous that a guy whom only shoots threes! (memo to Eddie) I like the lower number of threes and I like him using all of his game not just the 3's. We all know he will make them when the gAmes on the line. Every team in the NBA know that.

Maybe Ray is just accepting the role of #2 3PT shooter right now, and it works well (case in point, last game)... or maybe Ray's just adapting his game as he gets older (FG% up, 3PT% down?) . Either way Ray is being smart, but I would love to see him back in the form of that first round series last year. Oh well, smart might be boring but it works. interesting… Maybe Ray is just accepting the role of #2 3PT shooter right now, and it works well (case in point, last game)… or maybe Ray’s just adapting his game as he gets older (FG% up, 3PT% down?) .

The bigger issue is getting Sheed to convert the threes that he takes, no matter where they're coming from on the floor. As soon as Sheed was acquired, you knew that percentage would go down.
