I don't know man. He hits that jumper just 41% of the time. Unless he's shooting 50% I'd like him staying closer to the basket getting better looks and hitting the offensive glass.
I never said he was going to shoot the lights out, but the jump shot does exist. As I remember, Hansbrough became pretty much non existent as an offensive threat once he moved more than about 3-5 feet from the basket. I know you're more into the statistical analysis, so if what I'm remembering isn't actually borne out by the stats, feel free to correct me. I just don't remember Hasnbrough having much of a mid-range jumper at all.
Lebron can't stay in front of him so he just pushes him. Hopefully the refs call that in the playoffs because he should have gone to the line for 3 free throws and a chance to tie it. And if Lebron doesn't push him, he might have actually made it. I've seen him hit better 3's.

Did he actually push him? All I can tell is that he put his hands on him. Probably still a foul, IMO.
Well, don't feel too bad about the loss. It's a great time to be a Pacer's fan. This is the best team they've ever had and they're really exciting to watch.
