can we lock this team into a building and forced them to shooting 3000 free throws per day?

Misssd 10 free throws, lost by 3
The other day I was making fun of RJ Barrett for missing so many FTs and now this .. 🤦♂️
yep free throws cost us this game… these numbers are disgusting.
You can have variance in your 3 point shooting etc, but never should a team shoot this bad at the line.
Lmao I refuse to call this team a contender when they make this many unforced turnovers.
This team being fucking awful at the 2 things you’re taught at like the middle school level just drives me to insanity
Take care of the ball and make your free throws.. they are literally giving you free points
Yeah – This may have cost them the game.
I will never understand how people that get paid to play basketball professionally consistently miss free throws. You’d think this is the one shot they’d have down. It truly is one of the most unexplainable wonders of the world.
They might end up sub 70% before December. Crazy.
Edit: Just kidding, this actually puts them under 70…
I need anyone not named Steph to not deliberately foul bait while not attempting to actually try to make the bucket when they can’t make free throws. Like what are you wasting an offensive possession doing that for?! Podz and Draymond both did it in this game and Podz went 1/3 and Dray 1/2. It’s so annoying. If you’re going to bait at least try to actually make the basket too since you’re probably not making all of your free throws.
Please
It’s pretty funny and interesting that this team gets a new kryptonite every season. 2 seasons ago they couldn’t win on the road. Last season they couldn’t hold onto leads. This season they can’t shoot free throws. So random. This team has a bad effort and chemistry problem. Some games are dynamite and other games everyone just emails their performance in.
In 4th Q, Dray was also tryna drive in and score just to fall short a couple of times. BRO U ARE NOT THAT GUY. PASS THE FUCKING BALL!!!!!!!! DO WHAT YOU’RE BEST AT, DEFEND AND PASS THE BALL!!!!!!
What happens when a team full of 65-70% FT shooters shoots free throws?
A very low average 🤷♂️
If only there were a way to get the coaches to make the team practice free throws🤔
I am better at free throws than the Golden State Warriors is an absolutely insane true statement
You know it’s bad when 66% of our free throws made was from Andrew wiggins, one of the consistently most average ft shooters we have
You guys realize this won’t change right? Everyone outside of Steph can’t make free throws. Wiggs and Dray are right in line with their career. It’s just that Podz, TJD and Kuminga are insanely bad at free throws and getting more minutes has magnified that. Podz has actually improved from 63% to 66% this year. This is a real problem that will get exploited as the season rolls on
It should be illegal for players to not shoot underhanded free throws if they’re below 75%.
Have them play In The Bank, recommend it if you want to improve your FTs with friends.
Seriously. UGH. I had a blah feeling about this game from the very start. I would’ve jumped up and done a cartwheel if Gary had made that 3 at the end. 🤸🏻♀️ On to the next! (Husband is taking one of our three boys to Wednesday’s game.. He took one a few weeks ago and then the third gets to go next month. And he’s taking me for my bday in February. So he gets to go to all four. I feel like something’s wrong with this picture 🤔😆)
Need to force them run full court first before taking the FT. This season we got a quite fair whistle so far but couldn’t make the FT. If we can’t improve it, playoffs run gonna be very rough
I don’t understand how we have the 2nd highest 3pt% and top 10 in FG%, but the lowest FT%. Like can we just shoot our FT’s from the 3pt line?
When I was in Middle School, you had to do a full suicide repetition for *EVERY* missed free throw.
When I was in High School, the coach kept track of how many free throws you shot and made/missed, both in practice and games, added them together. You then had to do 60 30 suicides, meaning sprinting for a minute, jogging 30 second, jogging 1 minute , sprinting 30 seconds, rinse and repeat while doing suicides simultaneously until the number of completed repetitions equaled the number of free throws you missed
How did we get prime Shaq numbers. Wtf happen?
Opponent teams might do heck a kuminga
I’m curious – does anyone think this could be correlated to the high rotation rate? Not trying to start anything, just purely speculating.
