Because there’s world’s of difference between shooting a free throw and making a shot under duress with a defender in front of you.
It’s the easiest shot in the game, you’re not moving, it’s from the same spot always, you can take your time and setup.
They really shouldn’t be struggling that much with them. It’s definitely a mental / confidence issue
-20 gonna put a damper everyone’s favourite Scottie stat of late
Yeah, tied wagic but had lost to them. Some tournament 😂. Lose first 2 games and goodnight
how many points you score counts towards your standing if you’re tied with opponents at the end of regular tournament play…so ya points do count at the end of blowout games
We’ll see.
Our cap situation is very intentional, primed to enter into tax for the right move, we have extremely valuable trade assets thus us being bandied about in pretty much every star trade scenario…and why wouldn’t we start developing in a development year?
I’m not even sure what team you’re talking about, nothing there really aligns w reality.
Scotties timeline is now. You guys gotta stop acting like teams need to all be the same age as if the entire history of NBA champions weren’t composed of players with wide age gaps.
If the right trade comes along fine. But there’s no urgency to make a trade just to make something happen.
Everyone acknowledged this, it’s the super-max that gets people’s hackles up
Scottie said he was gonna go crazy this year and so far he is
Ya I’ve had it, the question was whether that’s his injury, I wasn’t sure.
He shouldn’t be playing if it’s really flared up. Games provide no benefit to physical therapy, so I’m imagining if he’s decided to go then the pain is minimal and tolerable.
My original comment is regarding free throws though, and as I’ve stated in this thread, plantar fasciitis plays little to no part in affecting free throw mechanics. Feet have almost no movement, you don’t even raise your heel on the shot, it’s mostly a knee/quad mov’t in the legs w minor calf trigger for stability.
Any pain he’d be having in a free throw motion could be mitigated by actually focusing on the task at hand i.e. the mechanics of shooting his FTs.
You can give him a pass if you like but I don’t. the FT epidemic is affecting the whole team and it’s interesting to wonder why theyre awful at such a basic basketball skill.
What was it again, plantar fasciitis?
That explains mobility issues, but missing free throws as a professional is pretty inexcusable for a SG/SF.
It’s the exact same movement every time…no matter where or when you shoot them, it’s also one of the most fundamental shots in the game that can be practised ad nauseum until they become automatic.
We’re somehow losing games at the “charity” stripe.
When OGs fingy is healed we’ll have to remind Lilliard of what elite POA defenders are capable of
NBA is new WWE confirmed. Sauciness in an early season ‘tournament’ game…Ooohoohoohwowowoow.
Green will be first NBA player to hit an opponent with a folding chair
The NBA isn’t a judicial entity.
It’s a league created for ENTERTAINMENT whose main goal is to generate revenue for it’s investors.
This should be pinned to the top of Raptors sub feed.
