Redick could have made more shots

J.J. Redick had a very poor performance last night, and could have been a real asset in winning if he would have hit more shots. He appeared to be hesitant and nervous on the court, and had a silly travel on a jump pass to prove this observation. When he came out of the game, Paul Pierce had a long talk with him on the bench. We assume (and hope) that it was Pierce giving his veteran knowledge to Redick on how to play more calm and composed. He ended the night with 7 points on 3/6 shooting, compared to his season average of 15 points on 5/11 shooting.
