Learn to play basketball........free throws are a major part of it.
:lmao at dumbasses that feel sorry for someone who cant knock down an uncontested shot. Well too friggen bad. If Shaq could shoot his FREE throws, Hack a Shaq would not exist.
Pop is a genius. :lobt2:
Getting pissed about Hack a Shaq is like getting pissed because one guard keeps stealing the ball from another because the other guard cant handle the ball.
fuck you
It's not so much as feeling bad for Shaq it's for their own selfish reasons: It's ruining the game for me.

of coarse, ppl make a big deal out of it because of the media. It's smart, and exploits a weakness. If you want to pick on someone, let it be Shaq. If he could make FT's this wouldn't happen.
Maybe you should put a jpeg of yourself wearing a pacifier and a bottle in your sig, hey?Quote:

I guess we need to have a long cry and a group hug for all those manly BOYS who's view of the World is shaken by the way sports has and always will be played.
It served its purpose. It disrupted the Suns offense and got into D'Antoni's head.
Mission accomplished. Phil's just bracing for the inevitable run-in with San Antonio.
I don't think Hack-A-Shaq is brilliant. Is it brilliant to issue your troops ammunition before taking the field? Nope, it's standard operating procedure. Hack-A-Shaq is THE proven strategy for dealing with O'Neal. Why anyone could see this as controversial after about thirteen years is beyond me.
Don't get me wrong but I'd kick Shaq's ball is that were allowed, I mean FT are part of the game so go a take it, is like to ban Amare's dunk because are too violent?

Look I'm not crazy about the Hack-A-Shaq, but it accomplished what it needed to for my team. And that's why Pop is such a brilliant coach, he picks and chooses his battles carefully. You've never seen this strategy from Pop before and I doubt you'll see it again, but he picked the best possible time to use it.
When you win, lots of things look brilliant.

I love Hack-a-Snaq
He's too cool for freethrows.
So, a pitcher who walks a batter because he has better accuracy than the next hitter is cheating? I think its called strategy. The fans dont like it but its not cheating.
Naw. He makes them when they count. Haven't you heard?Quote:

BRILLIANT!
It's not entertaining to watch. Neither is intentional fouling to get possession back.
The blame for both sits squarely on players who can't hit their FTs.
Amen dude. Ballsy to post I give you some man love for that. I agree 100%Quote:

Can't wait for Hack-a-Chandler.
Should be great theater.
i dont know how any player in the nba can shoot 50% from the line. Thats your job do you ever practice? with all that practice you should make some damn free throws. I mean what else does he practice? He doesnt shoot jump shots. And obviously the whole "i make them when it counts" bullshit doesnt work anymore.
LMAO... yep. If ball-kicking were legal, you'd be an idiot not to take advantage of it. Mike D'Antoni would be immune to it, but he's not a player.Quote:
