He was averaging 18 points per game in the series heading into last night's Game 4, but was only shooting 35.5% from the field. Rivers said, "I liken him a little bit to Patrick Ewing. Playing for the Knicks, I remember everyone complaining that Patrick Ewing took too many jump shots. used to laugh. Well, he made most them, so why shouldn't he take them?"
