Not defending the worst of THJ, and not scolding people for being frustrated by it. Just saying that with shooters, you have to live with some of that, and that it's fairly universal. I think THJ has had some recent games in which his shot selection was HORRIBLE, but not nearly as many as people claim, and further, it's not like the offense has been a well-oiled machine out there. He's trying to make something happen, just like the rest of the Mavs. Hell, yesterday, one of his only bad shots happened at the end of a possession when Trey Burke did 15 seconds of absolutely nothing and then flipped the ball to Hardaway with like 3.5 on the shot clock. I think THJ gets a lot of hate for being the guy willing to attempt those shots, though I agree that at times he forces them, too.
Believe it or not, I have witnessed the same types of mistakes from Robinson, Reddick, etc.
