Duncan's free throw percentage has been going up the last 4 years. It was his only weakness when he was younger.
I think the spurs have a better chance of beating the heat than OKC does.
This year and Last.
Them and The grizz might have the best shot in the NBA at it.
Well... no, he's always been around .700. A few seasons well above. A few seasons well Below. But always around that Mark. And i think a PF SHOULD average around .700.
PF more than a C that is.

you literally said Dallas was too weak both mentally and physically to beat the Lakers in 2011 so don't go all revisionist history on us
and I've watched almost every Orlando game this year
you like to blame Konex but he was here when the Lakers won b2b titles whereas during your tenure the Lakers have gotten swept by JJ Barea, seen Phil Jackson get booed out of Staples and replaced with Mike Brown and Dantoni, get crushed by OKC and see a mega blockbuster trade result in a sub-Bobcats record; time to look in the mirror buddy

Random, but Monta's stats are freaking horrible this year, wtf. 0.0 offensive win shares and the Bucks are 14 points per 100 possessions worse defensively with him in the game (17 points worse all together). He hasn't looked good and has gotten a lot of negative press and has been overrated, but I didn't think it was that bad.
They didn't play the Heat in the playoffs last year and came extremely close to winning the West.
So obviously no shot while the Grizzlies have a shot despite also having had a disappointing playoff run last year...?

I don't recall any of that about Dallas. I remember being optimistic about it but considering my like of dirk even branduil back then said I was an okay laker fan.
Konex is just a joke. Do you actually think I believe he has mystical powers?
I imagine a future where everyone shoots FTs underhand and in the high 90s because some superstar comes along and finally bucks the trend. Making them is the name of the game. Form shouldn't matter. PEACE.

I don't either.
Not for the reason given. Just don't have faith in Matt Bonner making 3s.

Or even look at Shawn Marion's weirdo foul shots.... at 80%, who cares how it looks?

Knicks hired shooting guru Dave Hopla this summer. Suddenly half the team is shooting career-best percentages from 3s.
Yep.
If you don't practice your free throws at all, you'll probably shoot 50-65% by default. Maybe 70.
It's easy to raise that number just through repetition and practice, though. By 10 or 15 percentage points. Easily.
What you're seeing from Dwight is the result of a naturally poor free throw shooter who doesn't give a shit about practicing his free throws. And when you're making the kind of money Dwight is, it's kind of pathetic he can't even take the time to shoot 20-50 free throws a day.

Dwight practices free throws all the time; in Orlando he shot a couple hundred each week and would make sometimes 30 in a row during practices
he's just terrible at them in game situations cause he's not in rhythm and his form is garbage

Okc couldn't win with harden. They won't win with Martin in his place.
Okc would be a sacrificial goat. Hopefully someone else makes it out of the west.

Dwight doesn't bend his knees enough. Dude looks lifeless on the FT line.

Ibaka is stepping up his play and The Thunder got Lamb and draft picks. Wow.

I can't wait til they make Foreign Facials 2: Feel the Serge.
Because it worked out so well for them last season, right? No offense, but you're out of your mind. The Grizz and the Spurs are the only two teams that I'd bet it all on to beat the Heat. The Thunder are actually worse now that Harden's gone. Yeah, he didn't show up in the finals last year, but Kevin Martin is a straight up shooter, not a facilitator.
Other than those, the Knicks and maybe the Celtics (if they can get their shit together) have a chance, but to say no one exept OKC is laughable. Do you even watch NBA games?

Kobe loses almost all his milestone games, so it's nearly a lock at this point.

OKC with Harden would have easily been the best in the west this year. They gotten better almost every year, there's no evidence that this would have been the year they hit the wall. They won't do anything without harden though.
Spurs are regular season tigers. Grizz or clips are who I would bet to come out the west.

This should get some use:

Then proceeds to shit the bed against Okc.
The last few pages were such a clusterfuck.
"You lost, now you want to change the rules of the game, get over it, derp!"
Mamba knows what's up. Sorry that some of us think the game shouldn't be reduced to the ludicrous display we got tonight. I can say with confidence that my opinion would be exactly the same even if I weren't a Lakers fan. Fuck it, if I were a Rockets fan, I'd be absolutely embarrassed by my team's cowardly behavior tonight. I'd be stoked about the win, but I sure as shit wouldn't be proud of it.
The integrity of the game is worth a lot more than cheap moralizing about how some overpaid athlete needs to practice free throws in the gym. It's worth a lot more than one W or L on the schedule for any team. Tonight the integrity of the game took a step back, and that really bothers me.
Sorry if some of us are looking past one game and at the big picture.

Had an argument with an idiot the other day who thought the Warriors were better off keeping Ellis and then using cap space, as if someone would sign with them.
It's amazing how much better they are without him. He's got some excellent parts to his game but some dismal other parts.

ahhahhahahahah. This season just keeps on delivering!!!. Keep playing like shit Lakers
Nash will help the shooting and turnovers but his defense is worse than the garbage we've been playing lol.
Also, a big part of Kobe's current efficiency is driving to the hoop. With Nash dominating the ball, Kobe will be shooting more jumpers and 3s. I guess not having to handle the ball will keep him fresher in the long run but I feel his game will take a slight hit when Nash comes back.
On the other hand, we desperately need another guy who can create his own shot in tight games.
Nash will be a positive since our PG rotation sucks but this team will only go as far as Kobe and Dwight take them...
The rule is fine. The guy needs to make his fts or sit down till the 2 minute mark. I wonder how many games we'll lose like this before the fans boo his ass off the court late in a game...

Cloving has fallen on his sword so much it is dull now..
I don't want to beat a dead horse here but what the hell is up with people saying they need to make a rule change for the hack a shaq/dwight
They did make a rule change by implementing the 2 minute rule how much more catering does a professional player need?
But he was right that at the end of the day defense was the biggest problem and it will continue to be if lakers commit so many turnovers and refuse to guard the perimeter.
