*shrug*.. it's good timing for him to be cold right now. He'll be needed later. And he's a shooter.. he'll be back.

It is what it is. He ain't no money mike miller
I was pleased with JR's defense even with his shot off. He is almost playing with too much energy. Have to hope he can find his groove here soon and settle down.
This is so very true. At the top level of any sport differences are more mental than physical. Reactions times are on the order of milliseconds. Engaging in conscious thought at the moment of performance just interferes. I think some people are born with the ability to stay in the moment, but anyone can work on it. This also the cause of streaky play, especially slumps, thinking too much about the last failure cascades into a slump, while success builds on success. That is where the term "playing unconscious" comes in, although I am pretty sure it comes from the subconscious, as you say, so-called "body memory" from thousands of hours of practice and experience.When hes that open you can see him gather and think and slow his motion. The science of choking is interesting. During pressure situations the conscious mind over thinks and you become aware of things that would normally be subconscious (due to 10,000+ hours of practice) and it essentially goes back to square one.
Guys who choke basically care too much in the moment. Clutch guys can let go of the pressure and realize its just the same shot they have practiced millions of times
