Big ASCII is alive and well.

I think we are seeing a point among the Cavs where they are overthinking things at the free throw line. There was a time where they were really good and consistent. A few games pass and the team as a whole slipped in percentages. I'm sure this was brought to their attention.
So... Each trip to the line leads to overthinking it and maybe a bit of added pressure. Tonight it was mostly Mobley that struggled from the line and unfortunately it came during important free throws. He started his career on fire (80+ percent) from the free throw line and looked smooth and consistent doing it.
I think he and others may be pressing a bit now that the team has struggled so often from there, but I also think fatigue is setting in for him in particular. He doesn't shy away from contact and is taking a lot of it each night. I think he's been doing a good job conserving energy for impact moments but it's taking a toll in other areas.
Mobley's season percentage is now close to his college percentage (68ish/69ish percent). I believe he will turn it back around to get to the mid 70s range.
The team as a whole will get back to it! They came up huge in the Brooklyn game from the line. Cavs have some pretty decent+ shooters from there scattered on the team.
