    Its different in a game. You can practice all day That don't mean ? .

    My old coach used to say "boards dont hit back" on some Bruce Lee ? but its true. You have to have the same mentality in practice and on the court.

    Its mental

    Physical too. Practice tired and live game tired are two vastly different things. Hard getting those free throws up w/o momentum when you dead tired.

    The thing is he kind of deserves it after the game 3 performance, he's our best player and when he's the zone arguably a top 5 player in the league......sometimes though he can be way to passive and phase himself out of games if he's not getting calls or is cold early. I honestly wasn't even mad we lost game 2 but for him not to shoot the ball is frustrating, regardless of the outcome you can never be mad with your franchise player taking a go ahead shot on the road.

    Yo you're paid to play ball... Work on your free throws smh
    So much "Hack-a" this year. These players need to work on their free throws. Even crazier when it's a dude that can shoot midrange and threes.

    NBA players do work on their free throws... just look at this chart from when Dwight played in LA... the majority of the roster shot damn near 90% during practice...

    For some reason a number of players have trouble translating that during games

    because its harder when youre tired from running and ?

    So Dwight and other bad FT shooters are missing free throws simply because they're tired?

    So... Steve Nash, Kobe and other good free throw shooters don't get tired?

    Nah, I don't buy it. Dwight be missing free throws fresh in the first quarter as well...

    It must be a mental block for some players amongst other things...

    if the NBA upgrades Howards flagrant 1 to a 2 hes ? for game 5 cuz he'll be suspended. Same if they downgrade it to a technical.

    (they'll probably be eliminated anyways though)

    He should've been tossed even though Bogut was playing ? but once you start getting up in the face area you gotta go.

    Howard should be gone next game, they suspended JR two games for basically the same ? and JRs elbow didn't look nearly as blatant as Howards...
