    We still can, just like LA did with Shaq... we just have to hire Phil Jackson and trade Harden-beard for the 2002 Kobe-fro.

    It's not all mental - have you seen his shooting technique?

    Well, Feigan said he never missed on in practice. So either he has exaggerated or the problem is between the ears.

    So Dwight's post moves are also mental?

    90% free throw shooter in practice, 50% free throw shooter in games.

    Got lessons from Dream, McHale, Ewing on post-moves in practice, yet looks like he's about to turn the ball over everytime he makes a move in the post.

    We are talking about his FTs, not his post moves.

    "90% free throw shooter in practice, 50% free throw shooter in games." <-- that's why I said it's all mental. Your take?

    interesting story i have: last year i worked as an intern reporter for the lakers, and one day i challenged dwight to a freethrow contest. needless to say, I won. but ill tell you this, in practice he used to shoot around 80% but i guess he doesnt know how to translate these things to real life situations

    We actually had the game. And the bigger mistake was made by Parsons. Steve Kerr made the comment too. How can u pass the ball to a low % shooter. During critical time at the end of the game. Parsons has made a ton of Rookie mistakes at least Harden scores and gets foul even with his low defense or none existence defense on the first quarters. I'm more frustrated with parsons than Howard or harden or any of the players. We had the game and that was a stupid mistake. I knew it would come back and bite us in the ass and it did :/

    No, I agree with you. Which is why I was saying Dwight's post moves must also be mental.

    Dwight probably looks like Dream in practices.

    It's about consistency. The only people who have it right now are Lin and Harden. As for Parsons, he's regressed from last season. Parsons and Bev were bricking tons last night, and Howard can't get his FTs to drop.

    Some of these posts are the most ridiculous, knee jerk reaction posts Ive seen in a long time...I mean, really questioning the signing of Howard? Jesus.

    I do think Howard should be taken out of the game when the other team starts playing that game...but that, in no way, would make me wish we didnt go after Howard.

    This team will be a championship contender when the season comes to an end.
