Poor point, SFP.

He is a guard. Make free throws.

I'll agree that there are numerous other reasons why we lost this game, but that was a huge moment.

It's a game changer when a guard bricks FTs late in a game. I know you know this, but this is why teams on the comeback trail usually lose momentum when they screw up and foul a guard late in a game.

Knock down the uncontested free shot,shooter, and we win the game.

Almost triple doubles are awesome... When you put the icing on your team winning.

some guards suck at shooting...even FTs

i don't think any metric judges a player solely by FTs

almost triple doubles are always awesome, even if you're blown out

This is true for all players, but especially guards. A coach who has guards shooting under 70-75% from the FT line is either a terrible recruiter, a terrible motivator or flat-out doesn't give a shite. Jones seems to fit one or two of those.
