from an optimistic perspective, the fact that jon isn't shooting well could be a blessing in disguise. creating more opportunities for others to shine. providing a better experience and more confidence to other players. and then if in houston jon figures out how to score again, it's like going from from the cold pool at the water park to the warm pool. it's gonna feel great.
