I know Shumpert has been playing better in the starting lineup but i think it is at the cost of getting the best out of Korver.
We know Shumpert's purpose in the playoffs and it will be defend, defend, defend. Trying to get him more comfortable offensively when he only averaged 3 pts a game in last year's ENTIRE playoffs seems a bit pointless to me, unless we are showcasing him for a potential trade.
If we were actively engaged on defense each night, that would be one thing but it's blatantly obvious the entire team is in "chill mode" on the defensive end at the moment. Shumpert is at his best when he is playing with effort but unfortunately, this team plays collectively, both passively and aggressively.
Curious what other's thoughts are on this?
