THREES FOR ALL?

I watch and observe guys. Lately if you watch the warm-ups before games, everybody's shooting three-pointers and you want to say, "Hey man, why don't you practice what you're going to do in the game?"

Even Ben Wallace is shooting threes. He's not going to be doing that in the games.

One guy you really want to watch is Channing Frye. He only practices moves that he uses in the games, and that's why he's so adept with particular moves. He goes out at pregame and that's what he's working on. Whereas Nate Robinson is shooting long-court shots, dunks. He's doing a variety of things but working on his mid-range jumpers, getting consistent there and working on his ball-handling. So, you can learn a lot from guys just by observing them in the warm-ups.

nate needs to perfect the steve nash foul line pull up if hes ever gunna be a player in the league

well, if we ever need a last second prayer toss from half court, we know who's # to call.

I was at a Knicks / Kings game back in the day and Jason Williams spent the entire lay-up line portion of warm-ups trying to bank a lay-up off of the shot clock - total knucklehead. YOU COULDN'T USE THAT SHOT IN THE GAME IF YOU WANTED TO!!!

While we're on the topic of practice habits, guys, can I just say this.. I know this seems to be an under the table issue and.. well, no one's really brought it up... but with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter I saw Nate Robinson stroking Channing's hand. Thats right, I said stroking, as in steady gentle rubbing, soft groping... some would say borderline heavy petting. Of course, Channing, being the gentleman he is and all, pulled away - but Nate, the little rascal, wouldn't take no for an answer. Now I'm not talking about a hi-5 here or there or even a pat on the rump, I'm saying it looked like he was molesting Frye.

Now bear in mind, LB is going through the game plan ..no, SCREAMING out the game plan, while Nate's libido seems to be getting the best of him. I know losing causes frustration, but man, I really hope that when LB is roaring away in practice, Nate and Channing can keep from playing footsie in the back.
