Tim Hardaway Jr.

[StrandedOnBeauboisHill]

This. It's so obvious. 

Love him or hate him, THJ is probably either the 2nd or 3rd most offensively polished players on the roster (definitely not lower than 4th) and this team's offense is struggling badly. 

The team is desperately hoping that he regains some semblance of his former rhythm. Desperately. He's not going to stop shooting because that's what they want/need him to do. It's the entire reason he's out there in the first place. Ironically, passing up shots is probably the one thing that would get him benched.

If this is the case then I feel like there is some hypocrisy going on from Kidd and the coaching staff.  Many of the shots that Hardaway is taking are not good shots for any shooter, they are out of the rhythm of the offense and a lot of times done so over an easy pass to continue rotating the ball.  The hypocrisy to me is if we're going to let Hardaway build his offensive confidence up by letting him practice a ton of bad habits until he figures it out then why do they not feel the same way about Wood on defense (which kind of coincides with a point you made in the Wood thread about how we need to get him up to speed).
