It is one thing to take these shots when he is playing in the flow of a game, but another to do it time-after-time regardless of what else is going on. Lucious has emerged as a powerful weapon because of his ability to step back and launch shots like that. As he does a few of these each game, it helps make us tough to defend.

I partially agree with you. While I don't think they were terribly in the flow of the game I don't think a couple of those shots are necessarily a bad thing. I just wonder how many people would be lambasting him if he had missed them both.

Lots. People are a little too reactionary. I prefer to wait and see how things develop. I didn't post any thoughts about the team earlier this season, because I knew they were still developing the team dynamic.
Now they are starting to gel just like last year. That, I can get behind.
