I thought Shaq was bad, but I have never seen a worse free throw shooter than Olowokandi. You would think with the game, and the playoffs, on the line that Rudy could come up with some creative thinking. Also, is it just me or does Moochie have a problem running a fast break? Also when Bullard was hot (against sac and clippers). It appeared Moochie would not give up the ball. I saw in both games multiple picks that Bullard threw (when he was hot) and even though he sat there wide open with his hands out to catch the ball, Moochie would never even look at him. Instead he would drive in a few feet and dribble in circles until he ran the shot clock down and then would either create a turnover or force somebody else to take a last sec. shot. ------------------
We did hack a little. I thought that foul on Miles with over 1:00 left was a hack-a-Miles type of foul. He shoots 51.6% FT for the year, but made both. I was hollering for us to hack Kandi too.
If we are openly asking why the Rocks didn't "hack" Kandi last night to take advantage of his poor FT shooting rather than him taking shots.... CAN IT GET ANY WORSE THAN THAT?!?! ------------------
Actually, Kandi shoots 56% from the line, compared to a dismal 47% for Shaq. Plus, you foul Shaq to keep him from scoring down low, because he is such a force. Olowakandi, well, he isn't a force down low....not really. Even though he had a good game against us last night, that is not his nature. ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
