KL looked unphased and played fine (almost a double-double). Danny was definitely rattled but I think part of that was Parker not being himself. He was throwing it to Green to take contested 3's or try to create something of the dribble.
split-a-tiago.

Except for the whole "shooting 69.1% during the regular season with 19MPG versus 32% during the playoffs with 16MPG."
Worst airballs I've ever seen in professional basketball. Not only are they short of the basket, they aren't even at rim level. They look like they are 8 ft high and about 1 ft short of the rim
He did not practice the free throw during the days off
PS: when can I start thread?
Tigo has been awful at the line in the playoffs to point I expect a hack a Tiago anytime now.
Hopefully Brooks won't start split-a-Slitter anytime soon!
When he steps to the line for his first FT of the game, he always looks confident...than he skrews that one up and from that on, he somehow seems to mail it in. Just as he wants to say: "F*** that FT-sh**...We will beat you anyway!"
Dude just needs to step off the line, get his head straight up and try again!
(I know, you want the guy to loosen up a bit, but he is just overdoing it.)
btw.: Did he shoot two airballs in a row (maybe even three?) in one of the Clippers games (Game 2 or 3)?...I couldn't tell surely (one was mos. def. an airball but with the other two I wasn't sure)
btw^2: I can remember one guy (a former teammate of Charles Barkley vs. him on the Houston team) making 3 airballs in a row...Chuck had his fun with him after the game ^^...can't remember who it was, but he probably didn't have a long career anyway.
He doesn't have truly horrible form and technique.
The most crucial part in straight trajectory is the shooter's wrist-elbow-shoulder alignment to the rim, and he's got that.
What he lacks is rhythm and confidence and smoothness of stroke.
I think shooting coach-First aid will work for him, this playoffs.
Overhauling his form completely can wait in the off season.
A little tweaking and re-adjustment and confidence building will make him into at least a 65-70% this series.
From what I've noticed, he doesn't really bend his knees and release the ball at the right time anymore. If he starts getting hacked, I hope that somehow shakes loose the Bonners and he can get back to making 65% or more of his FTs.
Maybe the more "Hack-a-Splitters" they pull... the better it will be for him.
