The problem with trying to control a player like Timmy from taking three's takes away from what makes him special. He thrives for pressure shots and NORMALLY he makes them. Lastnight he missed his shots and trying to make one it seemed he was rushing a bit. Now I do agree, he needs to recognize there are times he's suppose to step up and times he should be deferring to someone else. Lastnight was one of those occassions, but I'm sure Nellie knows trying to reduce the number of shots Timmy takes would probably hamper his game more than it would help him.

Timmy is like Barry Sanders. Barry tries to dance too much sometimes and will lose alot of yardage but you have to accept it because he can possibly get five straight carries for negative 20 yards, but the sixth carry might be a 60 yard TD run. That's how it is with Timmy. He could go 0-11 one game, but hit the game winning shot after doing it. Telling him to reduce his shots would probably effect his confidence.
