it's basically not the same thing at all.

Both waste offensive possessions and give the team an opportunity on the fast break. Honestly, the only difference is which column it goes under in the stat sheet.

So you buy a great shooter and then criticize him for taking these shots? Granted he does take some questionable shots. So yeah, not the same thing at all.

I agree with the transition three thing, until he is showing he's playing better he shouldn't take the rushed threes. Last year he'd come in, and fire on transition with no one underneath the hoop. Not only is it a bad shot because its rushed, it turns into a jailbreak for the other team.

A few people in this thread are talking like he's money from the outside, he was good yesterday, but for the majority of his time with the Nets hes been bad with his shooting being really off, Net fans are justified to want him to take better shots.

He's not a great shooter by any means. The guy shoots 39 and 34 which is awful for a so called "shooter". When he takes open 3s I got no problem, but when he takes these fadeaway 3s from almost half court, that's when I get pissed. Both turnovers and bad shots waste offensive possessions and give the other team a fast break opportunity. The only difference is that the player taking a bad shot took the bad shot knowing it would most likely hurt the team, while the player who turned the ball over most of the time just made a mistake. So yea, you're right, they are different, fadeaway 3s are worse.

If by "one of those guys", you mean realists that understand that NBA no bodies like Toko Shengelia can go down there and average close to a triple double, then yes.
