re: Herb Jones has strayed from his role in the postseason and the team is suffering for it.

We only have a few guys that will keep firing with confidence in the biggest moments. That's what it takes, belief. And Herb has far more of that than offensive talent. Thank goodness.

You keep emphasizing Herb's heart, toughness, leadership, confidence, will to win, etc and yet I (and now the one additional poster who agrees with me) has never questioned that. You seem to believe that the best path to the Final 4 is for Herb to put the team on his back offensively and will his way there. I'm disagreeing and saying he can still show his leadership by continuing to play defense, rebounding, and trusting his teammates with better offensive skills to pick up those attempts from the loss of Primo. I'm ok with him shooting layups when he has the advantage, but he keeps driving to the basket as if he has point guard skills, regardless of whether he has an open lane. My guess is Nate Oats is going to recognize that Jones is playing too overconfident and reign him in a bit.
