He's a Spur now. Get used to it.
What's going on? RJ has been great over the last few games, but his free throw shooting has been abysmal all year? He's 64% on the season and was just 5/10 tonight. It's almost like since he joined the Spurs (who haven't been good at free throws over the last 5+ years), he's caught the free throw disease, LOL.
Otherwise, RJ has been awesome, though!

Ha! True!
Also, small sample size.
He's a Spur! What do you expect?
He is bonding with us. Geez, how long have you been a Spurs fan?
There's a rule...... true Spurs miss freethrows, DUH!
Imagine Shaq's Free Throw Shooting if he had been a Spur! 20%!
More mental than anything right now...
Overreacting..
Yup he is fitting in just fine. Well except for those dunks. A few more of those and Pop is going to start benching him!
That's the one thing I've noticed about him, he always seems to hit only 1 of his 2 FTs.
Also the tiny ears. I can't get over this. He has such small ears!
who cares
as long as he keeps attacking 75% of the time. good things will come.
FT shooting is always a good way to gauge how much a player belongs on the team.
This lets Peter know he made the right decision opening up his checkbook
Mother er, we just won and you're still ing about something.
RJ's shooting is his major drawback. Looking at it closely, he almost has a hitch at the point just above his head where he starts to sling the elbow forward... it's more a pause than a hitch, but I think it increases his inconsistency.
Time for RJ to get in the gym with Chip and sort his out. if Chip can totally rebuild Tony's jumper as he did, I reckon he can improve RJ's much more quickly as there isn't nearly as much wrong with it as there was with TP's!
He shot over 80% from the stripe last year. It'll come around.

Yeah I'm sure a 20 point a game all star candidate will jump right on this,.
He's never been someone I'd call a great free-throw shooter but he's been pretty decent; mid-to-upper .70's is what I would have guessed if I hadn't looked at the numbers.
As long as he racks up the attempts though, I'll deal with the silver and black effect.
He'll eventually come around and get that percentage in the .70 range; if he gets it to .80, all the better..
Not to mention that it took TWO YEARS to fix Tony's J.RJ's shooting is his major drawback. Looking at it closely, he almost has a hitch at the point just above his head where he starts to sling the elbow forward... it's more a pause than a hitch, but I think it increases his inconsistency.

If RJ likes it enough here he will stick around.
Doesn't come off as the type that almost demands big money.
i think he missed the first FT on every trip to the line.
hahahahahahahahaha
yeah, it's too early to get freaked out. What's up with everybody acting like SNAP Richard Jefferson is the perfect godsend. He dunks, he creates, he passes, he rebounds, WHAT THE WHY ISN'T HE SHOOTING 92% FT ??????!!!!!?!?!??!?!?!?!
Career FT isn't bad. Most likely is off from his mind being focused on the Spurs defense, his new role, new teammates, creating offense, keeping him team alive while the two stars are out....free throws aren't the fifth thing on his mind. Did you see his actual shots? they looked like Andris Biedrins-style bullets. His form is out-of-whack. Give it a bit.
Hewon't look so bad when the rest of the Spurs start clanging their FTs as is their custom.
VERY small sample size
I'm sure his FT% will get better as the season goes by!
I'd like it if he did, but he'd have to take a SEVERE paycut, like in half, to stick around. Most players resist this. In addition, the Spurs may not want anyone but Tony signed beyond Tim's expiration date.
