Guy should just shoot. Shooting coaches suck. I'm a proponent of Natural Form. Peja had something ugly but it was.how.peja do
fields should just stick to his strength; slashing to the basket. when he starts dribbling with his head down trying to create for himself, it usually results with a turnover.
Landry's "brain" is his problem. You don't think when you shoot, and he is a head case right now.
Keep shooting fields..how else would you get better..or should he stop shooting and become predictable
Fields has to keep taking that shot..That shot will be there for who ever is playing that position...In our offense even when MDA was here, that shot is available for that shooter...Right now it's Fields..If we were able to upgrade to a better shooter down the road our offense will improve immencely...But Landry has to keep shooting...
Who ever is teaching Fields is doing an absolutely terrible job. His form is absolutely garbage. Just watching him take three hurts my eyes. He is actually a good shooter when he isn't thinking.
Think About It
What was John Starks thinking when he went 2-19?

Crawford is miles better than JR offensively. JR is the better defender and rebounder.
JCross brings streaky scoring and backup PG ability.
JR brings Streaky scoring with defense and rebounds.
If we could mix those two we would have the perfect PG/SG for this team. You know what, I would not mind him with JR as our backup PG/SF combo with Shump as SG. With both of them and Novak someone can get hot enough each game to carry the bench or maybe the team.
He hired possibly the worst shooting coach who ever existed during the lockout, intending to speed up his release. Instead it's completely messed up his entire three point shooting. Plus his confidence issues don't help things. I still say give him another offseason- this time give him a good 3pt shooting coach, and see if he returns as a more mature 3rd year player- he's capable of being that kind of player because we saw it the first half of his rookie season.

Who is the shooting coach?
One thing is for sure that shooting coach is never getting a job working with an nba player again. Who thought him how to shoot 3's Shaq?

Terrible comparison..starks was streaky..fields is average on his best day.

Just overall bad form and no arc on Fields jumper. Shoots flatfooted and it goes on a line drive bee line. Affects his free throw shooting too. Allan Houston needs to give him some pointers. His tips seemed to help out Shumpert.
he needs to step inside the 3point arc. He was doing so in the beginning of the season and benefiting form it.

Absolutely, and I plan on staying there.
mrKnickShot wrote:(Fields) has the ugliest shot from all the SG's in the league.
Ugly is in the eyes of the beholder. Jamaal Willkes had an unorthodox shot but it was a thing of beauty when it dropped. Shawn Marion will never be used an an illustration in a Claire Bee basketball manual.

Don't kid yourself. Brains help everything. No Brain. No Gain. It's good to be smart. All things being equal, give me the raw athlete with the 39" vertical and the Stanford-quality academic exposure every single day of the week.
mrKnickShot wrote:you are just assuming that he gets there and no disrespect to you but its not an educated assumption.
There is no built in assumption of anything beyond the moment. Landry Fields worked extra hard to get to this point. Just like his partner Jeremy Lin. Why should either of them stop working hard now?
mrKnickShot wrote:His shot needs to be thrown in the garbage and rebuilt from scratch.
From scratch? Perhaps Landry can switch to shooting lefthanded.
Ugly = Ugly and Awful
Perhaps Landry WOULD be better off shooting left handed.
Smart is as Smart does.

For real! Who is his shooting coach? I would like to know. The guy is playing like trash. He plays no D, can shoot, can't finish on lays up, and probably just as bad as D. Howard with free throws. I really hope they bench him when Amare comes back. Fields isn't contributing to this team at all.

I heard that Chris Dudley was brought him to help since Dudley can match him with brains.
Fields misses Lin out there badly. I feel like there may be a bit of tension on the court between him and Anthony. I always see Landry pulling away from the ball, as if he's being or has been barked at.
Nonetheless, he needs to get over whatever it is and play better.

Lin won't help him fix his Dudley-like shot. And his shot is not horrible because of any Melo tension. C'mon.
lin does help fields look better but as mrKnick pointed out lin wouldnt help fields awful shooting form. I still dont get why fields changed his shooting form i still dont get it
Just not a big game player. Last years playoffs spoke volumes about Fields. He can't play like this he had to start going at teams hard in big games and that doesn't mean playing scared. You can no longer be overwhelmed by teams you are playing.
