Lakers were on fiya beyond the three. 11/14 in the first half. It was a tough loss but it really was a great game.

That just simply isn't true.

if you think he is seriously working hard to improve his FT shooting I have some sweet oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you



Oh man, what a funny joke. It's like I'm talking to Louis C.K.

he's an idiot for refusing to work on his FTs

its impossible to be a 50% FT shooter if you actually take it seriously and work at it.


Yeah I am sure that Howard, Shaq, and Wilt Chamberlain never work/worked seriously at getting better at free throws.

Him running away was funny... but it was even funnier since he had that big goofy grin on his face while doing it

Have you ever played basketball before competitively? I'm guessing no.

Because in practice, you can make a whole bunch in a row. You get in a rhythm and can sink a bunch. You can make little adjustments and get in a groove.

I don't doubt that Howard can make 80% in practice.

Watch this video and skip to 1:40... Dwight makes 20 in a row:

All super teams have to deal with imperfect starts. We are 4-2 and will cruise to the playoffs as a high seed. The team will eventually gel. I am honestly glad to see some fire from James.

So you wish failure upon the Rockets organization because of 4 or 5 posters that visit the pelicans message board? That is interdasting

eta: ah sorry I thought you were Fun Bunch sorry. You never said you wanted us to fail so I didn't mean to put words in your mouth.

Dwight Howard: "Our free throws were terrible." He shot 5-for-16 (31.3 pct). Rest of his team shot 28-for-36 (77.8 pct)

Houston is seena as a 'super team' and clutch city fans have a strong presence on this board so of course people are gonna take shots, especially when they are fans of an inferior team.

Supposedly he makes 80% of his FTs in practice. He works at them plenty.


I find it funny when he says shite like this. He's basically either lying or admitting that he sucks under pressure.

You don't get it.

I can shoot granny shots in practice. I may suck for the first 50 or so.

Then I'll find a groove and can shoot a granny shot at a decent percentage and hit a bunch in a row because I keep doing it over and over and can make little adjustments.

If the next day I have a game, and I go to the line and try to shoot a granny shot, it's going to be much tougher.

And it's also mental with Dwight. He's much more loose and relaxed shooting in practice compared to the game.

Shaq flat out admitted he never worked on his FTs.


Dwight should be shooting them granny style anyway

he would be able to put some spin on the ball instead of shooting with that shite form that back rims out all the time.

He dropped 10% in one year. I wonder if its in his head like Wohlers or Chuck Knoblauch
