Game Ball, Lame Ball

He tried to shoot us back like Kobe when he isn't Kobe.</div>

You keep saying he was taking stupid fadeaway jumpers which hurt the Nets when the game was close but you haven't provided anything to back it up. I just went through several of his possessions showing that he wasn't taking all these stupid fadeaways like you said and he wasn't deserving of a lame ball. In fact, he was one of the better Nets out there. But yet you still don't seem to get it. He might have missed some shots but they weren't bad attempts. You have offered nothing of substance in this discussion.

12 million dollars is how much he is getting paid. He is getting paid to play not sit around for 42 minutes and take a couple off balance shots.

I know he had some good moments and refs were bad but it is no excuse after a miss, to attempt again and again the same shit shot.

Are you for real? How many times do I have to repeat this? He wasn't taking all these bad fadeaway jumpers(or are you going with "off-balance" now?) you keep saying he was. And he was one of the better Nets attacking the basket in the game. And he took like 2-3 shots where he was against the shotclock and made one them. And with the Nets down going into the 4th I would hope Carter looks to be more assertive looking to put the ball in the hole. Just because he might not always go on a huge scoring run doesn't mean he shouldn't attempt it. And if your complaining why he couldn't score in the paint on every offensive touch then I'll just leave you to your own madness.

He was!

He wasn't setting up for his shot. He at least has a better percentage when he is not fading left right or back.

If you didn't notice, Carter didn't go to the basket at all in the fourth so every offensive touch driving would be insane on Carters part because heck, maybe he'd play above average.

I'm only going to ask you one more time. Point out where he was taking all these terrible fadeaway jumpers. If you won't then I'll just assume you have nothing of substance to offer.
