they can do that during the regular season alot of the times but they cant do that in the playoffs. teams play harder obviously and your weaknesses get magnified. okc just aint good enough w, they arent winning with that iso offense and team as constructed . iso offense doesnt work in the playoffs. a-friend knows this , he knows ball.
Rant:
People always complain about the hack-a-shaq strategy, but how about the players that suck at FTs do a improve-your-FTs strategy
They got all the resources to improve yet cats like Deandre Jordan and Drummond shoot at paltry levels
Lazy

these guys are ridiculous thinking its just laziness. i can practice something all i want , if im not good at it , all the practice in world aint going to mean ish. they use blake , tim d and malone (these dudes actually shoot during games, or have a set shot aside from fts) but look at the guys that cant shoot fts and dont improve . they really have no shot at all period. dwight , drummond , jordan. when you see these dudes ever taking a jumper or shot outside of a few feet from the basketYou know these guys are putting in hours every practice to get better right? Do you think they just skip free throws altogether?
nailed it. pride is in the way. dudes like drummond, shaq, deandre etc etc... the excuse is that their hands are so big. but kawhi dont have that issue. they claim they practice free throws a lot but i dont buy it. even if "the ball feels like a tennis ball" in their hands as shaq put it, then change the shot. when i try to accurately toss a small ball, i lob it. im not saying they should LOB the shot per se, but they definitely could alter it. if ur putting in maximum effort into practicing free throws ( i dont buy that but for the sake of argument lets say its true) and ur still not hitting, change the form. start practicing underhand. granny shot if u have to. but u are KILLING your team, practically point shaving by missing 20+ free throws in a night.were talking about FREE THROWS. it's the part of the gm where you get a shot from like 15ft where nobody is defending you. you work on it in practice, now translate it to gm. giving guys a pass for not being able to make it at a decent rate
were not talking about some guy working on post moves or trying to extend his gm to the three pt line.
rick barry reached out to shaq, but dude declined. said he had too much pride to be asking for help and the thought of shooting underhand was below him. he's reached out to others in the league, but guys just dont make that effort
Lol Agreed.
AN HOUR? bruh if u suck at something u think an hour a day is good enough? u supposed to do an hour a day if you're already good at it. if u suck, u shouldnt even be looking at time frames. u should be looking at shots made and shots made in a row.
