His shooting percentage will need to improve dramatically & jump shooters like JJ don't tend to live up to expectations in the 3 pt. contest anyway. In the history of the event, Ray Allen is probably the only real "jump" shooter to win it. Kapono's shot is built for that contest, he'll probably join Bird & Hodges as 3x winners.

JJ will be fine. What bothers me most is that he is wide open sometimes and his team mates for some reason ignore him. I guess he has to gain their confidence.

If it makes anyone feel warm and fuzzy, the Magic beat the Celtics 140 to 48 in NBA 2k9 on the Xbox 360. D12 had 50 pts and 23 rebounds.

 

JJ missed all his 3 pt attempts.

i think it is more than confidence that keeps the ball out of jj's hands. i have an idea but i'm not sure. what do you think? jacklj

Two of the times Redick was open Hedo had the ball and he was intent on getting to the basket no matter what. I think it just matters who is at point for the game. BTW Redick was wide open and he also could have gotten the ball to Howard from there without any problems, but Hedo was in charge and I do believe that one of his shots made it the other he lost it and Boston killed that Magic on the other end.

That's just what I saw imo.

He's still doing other things well but if he doesn't start hitting wide open spot up 3's soon I'm going to lose my mind.

Agree 100%. I'm not a Dukie or a "JJ" fan, but I've said for 3 years the guy is a lot more than a Kerr like spot up shooter. Now he's proving that and he hasn't knocked down shots.
