Around SBN: NFL Week One: Previews and Predictions for all 15 games

Concerned about Clanging Iron

I was wondering when it was going to happen and then the Cavs experienced it for maybe the first time this season last night against the Blazers; the dreaded OSN or "Off Shooting Night"!  None of the Cavs seemed to get open for a good jump shot.......at least not easily.....and when they did;  Clang, clang, clang,.....we were missing badly, especially in the 1st half.

Mo Williams, who has been the model of consistancy all season long was throwing up bricks.  Delonte, who seems to have struggled lately with his shot continued to look, well.....jacked out of shape and way,way off.  Gibson, ditto (athough he finaly hit a three for what seemed like the first time in a month).  LeBron, a couple of makes but too many misses even with the "in-n-outs"

To his great credit presumably, Mike Brown had his troops drive to the rim and shorten the distance in the second half.  Bingo.  The shots started to fall.

 But was this poor shooting an aberration or a sign of things to come?  Have the Cavs become a jump shooting team and should'nt they make a concerted effort to drive to the hole more?
