When Joe hurt his thumb a couple of weeks go he said several times afterward tha the bandage helped him remember to keep his left hand off the ball on his jump shot. His thumb is well and he still is keeping it wrapped. Whatever works. He has been shooting lights out since then and it has made a huge difference in the cats game. The announcers tonight addressed it as supersticion, but it seems to be a good technical way for him to return to form. I mean before he was not just hitting a low percentage of his threes and jumpers in general, he was bricking shots or missing everything. That thumb, and Joe's adjustment to it,may turn out to be a real key to getting his shot back and what a difference it makes to this team's improved play and potential to get even better.
