Re: You just can't have a "star" shooting FTs this badly in today's NBA.
[QUOTE=Mr. Jabbar]you cannot equate the intangibles involved in those misses though. Its demoralizing on offense and gives other teams confidence. Its more than just 11 missed free throws[/QUOTE]
This.
And to the guy saying we Laker fans are "acting" like we didn't know he was a bad freethrow shooter, of course we knew about it, we are just fed up right now. Maybe we shouldn't of traded for him? Hmmm, I didn't realize it was up to the fans.......

Don't worry. Free tacos and a cup of Mr.Jabbar's tears tonight on the championship flight.

Maybe we still lose but we'd have had a chance to win! If Dwight makes even half his fts, the game is totally different. I'd like to have seen Denver play with some pressure but Dwight didn't even give us a chance.

And Kobe only won these last 2 championships because of HOFers Gasol, Bynum, and Odom, right?
Re: You just can't have a "star" shooting FTs this badly in today's NBA.
You can have Howard's crappy free throw shooting or you can have horrible defense, but you can't have both and expect to win.

iverson made it to the finals with a weak supporting cast too. should the lakers max out iverson too?
Re: You just can't have a "star" shooting FTs this badly in today's NBA.
So? Denver as a team missed just as much as Howard did, it cancels each other out. Lakers lost today cause of their garbage defense. 80 something points in the paint.:wtf:

I'm usually against the Dwight scapegoating but 3/14 is hilariously bad FT shooting. :lol

Re: You just can't have a "star" shooting FTs this badly in today's NBA.
Shaq was a perennially bad FT shooter. It didn't stop him or his teams to win titles. It won't stop him from getting into the HOF.
