Antoine Walker used to call himself a "volume shooter" and that shouldn't be taken as a positive. Efficient shooting is a far more valuable commodity. Right now, the Mavs are getting more volume from Jet Terry.
He was 7 of 19 in Game 4... 4 of 11 in Game 3... 12 of 23 in Game 2 ... and 6 of 14 in Game 1...
so, that's 29 of 67 overall, 43.3 percent and 7 of 25 from 3, 28.0 percent. That's just not going to cut it. In the regular season, Terry, who has taken more shots than any Mav in this series - one more than Dirk - shot 48.4 percent from the field and 43.8 from 3. Terry has taken nine more 3s than Jerry Stackhouse in the series, who's taken the second-most from downtown. Terry is only fourth on the team in getting to the foul line. He's 13 of 16.
Here's Terry's thoughts on his shooting in the series:
"Some of those looks are too good to pass up, but at the same time you want to be decisive and make sure you get to the basket, especially in critical stretches like the fourth quarter (in Game 4). We shot so many 3s and that's not winning basketball. Winning basketball is either get to the free-throw line or get some buckets in the paint."
