FREE THROWS

I think it's mental thing. They need to just think of something else instead of worrying about missing the free throw. I remember one time getting fouled intentionally in a men's league game awhile back with a few seconds left and I had to make both to force overtime. I can remember someone was trashing talking so I just started talking back in between my shots and just naturally made them both. It was because my mind was not fixed on missing or making but on something else, a kind of Zen thing. I think that's what the Jazz need to practice, thinking about the last time they got laid or something like that, instead of that they might miss the shot.

Damn, I hope they are reading this. I know they have been playing professional basketball for a while, but this advice is probably eye opening if they saw it.
 
the easiest way to throw a game is missing those free throws.

With the warriors legacy sort of in the balance,
Someone was paid off.

After the game, I conducted a highly scientific experiment...I went out in my driveway, set up the go pro, put on blindfolds, then shot 14 free throws. I made 4.

Conclusion: The Jazz's free throw exhibition in the 4th was equivalent to a blind person's performance.

Keep at it - practicing free throws with my eyes closed raised my FT% more than anything else - it's amazing how your mind compensates for not being able to see the basket - you instinctively adjust your mechanics, arc, release point, etc.

Dammit Cy. I was in class.

LMAOOOOOOO
 
I feel ya bruh. If these players went to p3 I feel like they could have the stamina to make a clutch shot. I mean, stifle is acting all like this is a fourth quarter phenonemon. I mean yeah it is but this is stamina not pressure. Who is going to stand up and tell me jazz are tanking games to miss the playoffs? I do not believe this one bit.
 
We're 15th in the league on FT%. For such a sizey team this is acceptable. With our young players getting more experience we should be in top 10 for years to come. So I don't see a fundemental problem there. Our biggest problem is not being able to kill teams off . We always blow our double-digit leads in a hurry . Same with the GSW game. Before the game Simmons told he expected the Jazz get a 15 point lead and blow it eventually and lose the game. This actually happened, you know.
 
Restricted throws
 
Imprisoned throws.

(That loss still stings)
