As bubbles has led on…if Rondo has as high an IQ as he is said to have…he may be as responsible for this stat as anyone by avoiding passing Sheed the ball when behind the 3-point line.

(1) Yeah… but the trend is bad. Zero 3s in game #1. One 3 in game #2. Two 3s in game #3. We have to hope he’s not on a curve.

(2) He’s shooting 33.3% 3FG% over that span. That’s better than 28%, at least.

I really do hope Sheed starts playing A LOT in the post. He’s pretty much unstoppable down there. I don’t care if him in the post doesn’t spread out the floor, we play better when he’s in the post.

I think 28 % lacks the startle effect that 72 % has……as in, if I throw this pass to Sheed behind the 3pt line there is a 72% chance that he is going to miss. If I were out on the floor with Sheed….and I was more worried about winning than Sheed’s feelings…than I would not throw the ball to Sheed behind the 3pt line—unless we were up by a butload. Thou shalt not tempt Sheed at thine own 3pt line. The other 4 Cs on the floor with Sheed should only pass the ball to him in the paint if they are really trying to win. The Cs should understand that some passes should remain unpassed….like throwing the ball to Perk too far from the basket or throwing Perk or Shelden fancy passes. Throwing Sheed a pass behind the 3pt line is really almost like a turnover, and we all know that since the Cs won’t offensive rebound that each possession is critical. You’ve only got ONE shot each trip down the floor so you’d better make it a smart, HIGH percentage shot.

this is great news….this team is so much better when sheed plays inside.

good point on larry brown. still hoping that doc is outsmarting us all and just saving his tough-guy moves to maximize impact when it counts.

@Berk: Interesting thought. I admit that hadn’t crossed my mind, if only because I just assume Sheed’s jaunt out to the three-point line has more to do with his age/decline of athleticism. But you raise a good point.
