come harder Melo.
He also said he could average a triple-double in a season if he really wanted to. I don't believe it.
Lebron is a Hell of a basketball player, but it's ridiculous for him or people to really believe he can fill a stat sheet like that on a nightly basis in todays game. It's just not happening.
As for the free-throw discussion: If they're putting in the work towards improving their free throws and still not seeing tangible results, then something needs to change. It's either form, the way they hold the ball or even their follow through. The bottom line is, if you're really about improving something you have a deficiency in, you'd look into every avenue available that leads you towards improvement. It just doesn't stop with shooting an X amount of free throws in Y amount of hours.
If I was Dwight Howard or DeAndre Jordan trying everything to fix my free throw percentage and still cant, then I'd consider trying to shoot them underhand or just go for the backboard. But like many others have previously said, it's a pride thing and their pride is more important than their teams success.
Which isn't surprising, because those guys are two losers who haven't amounted to jack **** in their NBA careers.
It's really really hard to change your form and keep it consistent when' you're fatigued though. Especially when you don't have natural touch for shooting.
its hard for any and everyone to maintain form while tired. that point is irrelevant. you practice so it doesn't affect you as much.It's really really hard to change your form and keep it consistent when' you're fatigued though. Especially when you don't have natural touch for shooting.
might have to look up the definitions, dont quote me on this but... im pretty sure not being allowed to slide, and not being allowed to block the plate are a different. i might need a lifeline tho to be sure. brb.Google the Buster Posey rule, my man. All it took was for one man with a "sensitive" leg to change the way catchers play their position now. One of the msot exciting plays in baseball wiped away. You can no longer block the plate. You have to give the runner a clear lane to the plate or it's an automatic run.
All because of one guy. Crazy, huh?

Nice New one
10 double digit leads blown by them young pups this year :x
My god KAT is an absolute BEAST. To see him and Wiggins do damage on both ends of the court is a sight to see. I can't wait until they become a competitive team.
You're meaning to tell me it takes a lot of exerted physical effort to throw a basketball underhand or aim for the backboard? Isn't the whole point of shooting a free throw that way to save effort?
Well next time don't reply to me until you are absolutely sure.
I was responding to your point about switching forms and stuff. It's about muscle memory and being comfortable shooting a certain way. All of that is drastically harder to keep consistent when you've shot a certain way your entire life, when you're tired, and when you have no natural shooting touch. It's why you rarely see anyone in the league completely change their form.
The backboard thing is a good idea IMO. The underhand thing is silly though. I really really doubt anyone that can't shoot 50% normally is going to be better shooting underhand. It's a hard shot. It needs to be soft with a lot of arc.
ummm.... this is weird criteria. what counts as a hack? does fouling to stop the clock count? and theyre counting individual fouls to inflate the number? eghhhhh on this chart.
Also it's not just a couple guys anymore. Over 20 players have been hacked at least once this season. Hacking is WAY up compared to last season.

That was from a month ago, that 139 number is from mid-December. We're on pace for well over 400 hacks this year, probably closer to 500.
Last year only 4% of games had at least one hack, this year it's 12%.
No.does fouling to stop the clock count?
An intentional foul away from the play to put someone at the line. It's simple.what counts as a hack?
I don't know what you mean by inflating the number.and theyre counting individual fouls to inflate the number?
I'm gonna rep this when I get my reup, and welcome Home GI have crossed over to the "Dark Side" OKC it is for me.Pure brilliance around here today.

melo was never a high flier tho lol. cant expect too much lift. just good enough lift.
When I said for Melo to come harder, I am implying that he should've went harder on the dunk attempt.
Looked like he's got no lift on that two handed dunk attempt.
Other than that, Melo's good with me.
