Worst free throw shooting performance?

Falchoon · Mar 12, 2003

As a team in our Tuesday night league we went 1 for 14

I personally contributed 0-5 for a seasons tally of 5-21

mmmm might be time to stick a hoop up in the driveway

How does that compare to your FG%?

In last years competition (A Grade), i shot my Field Goals at like 31% whilst my FT% was about 80%.

I couldn't hit a barn door from anything outside 10-12 feet.

Bruce Bowen? how 'bout Larry Smith or Chris Dudley?

Squeak · Mar 13, 2003

I am a similarly terrible shooter.

Last season I played, 30% from the field, 39% from the line, and 18% fron beyond the arc. I hadn't played for a while so I got better as the season progreesed, in the last 5 games I went 35%, 42% and 31%.

Chris Dudley's free throw shooting was a laugh. Still remember his two air balls, only ever seen that twice. The other guy to do it was Mark Madsen.

On your first point - I took some ridiculous shots.

On your second point - I've been getting some ridiculous shots taken at me.

Cracks me up just thinking about him shooting. Rodman looked like shooting from the stripe was a severe disposition.

Don't take FG%, I just add my 1's, 2's and 3's but I'd imagine 3 point percentage about 20-25% and 2's about 30-35%.

It's all about the assists

and jacking it up because our guys are bigger than theirs on the rebounds.

Interesting this season I've gone down from 4.69 a game to 3.00 with 10 3's in 19 games v 26 in 26 last season. 21 trips to the three throw line in 19 games v 68 in 26 last season.

Old, fat, slow and short, it definitely aint A grade

though we do have a decent golf team playing basketball.

We got over the line in the last minute to win by 5 but couldn't figure how the other team managed to stay in it, considering their best player wasn't there.

We then did some quick sums and quickly worked it out

Kenny_01 · Mar 14, 2003

I'm normally dynamite at the line. Used to shoot at 88%. Had sunk 34 in a row at one stage a few years ago. But once this season I missed 4 FT's in a row.

Kenny_01 · Mar 14, 2003

And I shoot 3's at 41% (and I shoot heaps of them). No-one ever guards me when I'm outside the arc. I'm meant to be our PF and our tallest player

I'm like Pat Garrity but I get more boards than him. I can't shoot for donkeys if I'm being guarded though. More likely than not it will be an air ball

If I had to say what my game resembled I would say a mix of Magics passing ability and AI's offensive arsenal with Ben Wallace type numbers from the FT line

I love to make a speccy pass. I will do it at all costs. If it a normal 2 on 1 break I will still pass a lookaway or a behind the back

I love to drive and dish. I must rack up a ton of assists in games but I dont count them. Too busy with my head in the game.

Like Iverson I probably dont shoot that well but I ALWAYS take on the defence and drive to the hole. I never settle for a jumper because to be honest it is unreliable

I do score quite a lot when I take it to the hole.

A lot of the time I just drive by the top 2 defenders (we all know local basketball teams play 2-3 zones) then I either pull up for a 8 feet jumper or runner. Or go straight at the big guy in the middle and try and get it around him or get to the line.....which brings me to my Wallace type FT%

this season i been shooting pretty good from everywhere, and they are feeling pretty good off the hand
we have a small team and i usually play centre but we are more a perimeter and run and gun style team, usually its either a lay up or 3 pointer

but wednesday night this team had no idea how to play post up defense so i shat on them
that was until a fight broke out and the game was cancelled
dammit
