TOP 10 REASONS WHY TINS TOOK ALL THE SHOTS IN OT

by DMtShooter, Five Tool Tool

In last week's Pacers-Suns game, "point guard" Jamaal Tinsley took ten of his team's eleven shots in overtime -- after missing all of his shots in the second half. (Did we also mention that he was being guarded by the Suns best / potentially only defensive player in Shawn Marion? No? Well, now we have.) In all, fourteen of the last 15 heaves were from Tins (the other was a Mike Dunleavy tip-in). Not surprisingly, the Pacers lost, 129-122.

What got into Tinfins? Any and all of the following...

10. Couldn't quite understand that a Suns player was actually allowed to be good at defense

9. On each and every shot, sincerely believe he was open, with all his heart

8. After missing all of his shots in the second half, just knew he was due

7. When you're a career 39.6% shooter who's shooting 38.5% this year, you need to shoot more than other people to get your numbers

6. Wanted to make Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson cry... a lot

5. Taking out his frustration from his bar fight trial being delayed for the third time -- Tins needs to clear his name!

4. The only way to get 8.5 assists a game is to make sure that people respect your, um, shot

3. Hasn't been in a story involving the word "gunfire" in over a month, so just doing what he can to compensate

2. Knows he'll be on the disabled list any minute now, so is bombing away while he still can

1. When your teammates are Dunleavy, Foster, Granger and Kareem Rush (Jermaine O'Neal missed the game), you'd probably want to go one on five, too
