    We know it's going to happen in the playoffs will Dwight be able to make his free throws in those situations or will we have to sub him out?

    With Dwight shooting 55% from the line, it's really not worth it.

    He needs to be under 50%, like he was the last two years.

    Seems like during the regular season, it worked in our favor whenever teams did it. Dwight's problem in shooting free-throws is mental, though. There's going to be more pressure in the playoffs than there was before. Hope he's been practicing those free-throws.

    The percentages say it's a good idea. When he gets to a certain spot on the floor with the ball, it's over. It's a guaranteed two points. No one on my Blazers can stop him. He's too quick, too explosive and too strong. Just wrap him up and make him earn it on the charity stripe.

    Right, but if you're about to get dunked on it's a good idea for anyone, not just Dwight.

    Here we are more referring to an immediate foul to stop the clock and send him to the line - as long as Dwight holds at 54% or above the percentages say it's a bad idea.

    Bring it on! As long as he is above 50%.
