He doesn't have to knock down every shot but he has to penetrate and put them up and keep the offensive flow. Carlisle even said the same thing.
Guys were losing their defensive assignments all over the place and getting stuck behind screens too often. Especially early in the game when Portland was setting a pace.
Brendan Haywood, good gosh. Your a professional... and yet can't hit FT's to save your life or the teams momentum. It's a long season and one would like to think that a player will improve on almost everything they are working on during that period but somehow it has gotten worse in the post season. From a career %60, to season %36, to playoffs %16. Please take it easy on the silly fouls Chandler.

Yep, Kidd has to keep shooting regardless, I'm sure he's said it before, if he's 1-10, he still has to shoot, not think, shoot it. Once he stops, the offense stalls, then you end up chucking a desperation with 2 ticks left.
