    I'm sorry I had to make a thread on this, but its been annoying the CRAP out of me.

    FREE THROWS CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME!

    I don't know if you look at the Box scores but if we made our ft's some nights we would actually have a chance to win them. Free throws are not THAT difficult, and its PATHETIC how we miss so many.

    1-7 free throws currently against Detroit...

    DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ADELMAN! Make all the players have to shoot like 100 ft's after practice?

    How are we going to make free throws in the clutch like this?

    My god, it's now 1-9 free throws. Jesus, we could be up by 14 points but now, we decided to lose 8 freebies.

    Its all about focus.. this team has NO personality, killer instinct, or desire.

    The only reason they win games is because they're too talented not to.

    Free throw is all mental. Like yao said, this team is just too frigging mentally weak.

    Oh boy, now we are talking about needing heart and killer instinct to make your FT's?

    Geeze, some people on here are ridiculous.

    Of course you need mental toughness to knock down FTs under pressure situations. Everybody who has played with decent competition knows that.

    Why don't we just shoot jumpshots at the free throw line?
