It was absolutely shot selection for him to take so many 3's when you and
I 
and Vanessa knew he had no shot at making them.  His shot selection and 
decisionmaking was very poor in this game except for one stretch of 
brilliant play in the last half of the 4th.

And that's what was disturbing; after years of bad decisionmaking and poor

shot selection being his trademark, he had finally become a heady player 
this year.  And we must have him be one from here forward.
