Free throw shooting

[joma]

The hell has happened? At the beginning of the season we were one of the top free throw shooting teams in the league. Not oly did we miss a lot that should have put this game away, but lebron missed that second free throw to tie it. This is the second game we've lost in the last week because of free throw shooting. The last one was last week against the rockets. Brown needs to have a 5 hour free throw shooting practice tomorrow.

Well FT's cost us that game: no doubt about it

the silver lining is that our free throw shots per game is down a lot since hughe's got injured, so there aren't as many chances to miss from the line.

I hope Mike Brown has his team doing free throw drills. Nothing pisses me off more then missed freethrows when we need them.

LeBron James should never ever shoot a technical free throw ever. I dont care if he has Shaq, Ben Wallace, Varejao and me as his team mates on the floor.

Unless it's Z or Larry Hughes, I don't know who else you have take them. Lebron's FT% is third behind those guys. AND HOW ELSE DO YOU TRAIN SOMEONE TO BE CLUTCH? (Which is of course the main definition of a player's worth, 30 pts on 50% shooting be damned.) If you don't shove a guy into the spotlight, force him to produce, then he never will. It's a learning process.

Z should take all our techs if hes in, but I've seen it go to Lebron or Damon Jones or Snow even.

I never understood James who misses an inordinate amount of techs taking them all the time. Of all people right now, I think Jones should probably take these. Yes even right now a FT could get his confidence up

Jones missed his last 3 technical tries.....in the Detroit game he was going to go shoot another in the 2nd quarter and Z took the ball out of his hands and nailed it.
Z should shoot them.

Z all the way on these...than Snow...than Jones...than everybody else and last but not least, than James.
