If writers like Marcus think this is ripping into a player, they lead a very sheltered life.

Personally, I think using this inflated language is all about selling papers (or in today’s world clicks).

some guy: from the shoulders like a girl, a la derek fisher? lol, im kidding.But yes. He needs coach moncrief back and shooting right handed and developing his right hand a bit more would help, since this season he only goes to his right hand.

Andris freethrow shot is bout as ugly as Charles barkely’s golf swing.

I agree with trying/learning right handed.

I’m also amphibious myself…

they might as well have him start shooting them right handed and build his form from the ground up.

either that or have him shoot them like a girl from the shoulders.

i agree with others. this doesn’t really read like a rip job (yesterday was another story) – sounds like an honest assessment of how Beans has let the foul shooting affect his entire offensive game.

Injury got him out of rythem

free throw struggles hurt his confidence.

He knows he needs to play better and he will.

He’ll work hard to get his body back in off season.

One critque. He SHOULD be open to changing free throw habit/routine.
If u shooting 13% you have no other option but to change

Biedrins showed steady improvement each season, until now. It is too soon to chuck him. On this point I think that Nellie is right. If Beans could get his free throw shooting back to 60%, his overall play would go back to double-double quality. Somebody get Moncrief out of China and back to Oakland ASAP. This needs to get fixed now, not next season.

Beidrins should be ripped for his lack of aggressiveness on offense. This team is garbage.

um this whole team sucks top to bottom. EVERYBODY needs to be ripped.

there’s no shame in shooting underhand, girls. our man rick barry did. i’ll do it on the court to in a HORSE game too. ever see Semi-Pro? funny stuff. the way you shoot don’t count until it GOES IN.

I think Moncrief is a coach now in China the last I remember (or something along the lines of international basketball). What I don’t get is why Biedrins refuses to change. He’s obviously not getting anywhere with his current stroke and doing so would help immensely.

People are calling for the trades of Monta and Maggette, but if Biedrins keeps this lack of confidence up, he would definitely be first in my books to be let go for a bad veteran contract.
