    seeing these guys melt down over sinking a crucial FT in the regular season makes what sasha did so much more impressive. i can't even imagine being in that moment

    It’s unfair to compare ordinary humans to the Machine.

    Sasha was less than ordinary in real games minus the 2008 season.

    Here's the thing: people complained about Sasha being only able to shoot in practice, but he set the Los Angeles Lakers single-season record for the best three-point field goal percentage... something like 44%.

    7 assists to one TO for AD. if he shores up this weakness (passing out of doubles, passing in general), he can reach another level offensively without doing anything with perimeter shooting.

    You have to make those free throws, you HAVE to. You can’t cost us another game with them and then miss them again.

    It’s in his head. Abeer3 called that in game time. You could see it was in his head on the first one.

    Once is enough (Indy), two is too much (Philly), three is a poison (C Bags) that can kill a person.

    yeah, i'm actually worried about this undoing some of the progress he made in getting his mind back right again. that three he took in OT was fugly. not just short because he was tired, but wide right by like 5 inches. that's the shot of someone who doesn't think they're going to make a shot.

    i'll be watching him closely as things progress. rooting for him to get it straight.

    Agree. Mostly I just think he needs more help on the court. We need a guy they can count on to make a shot or two down the stretch so it doesn’t all fall on him at the end. Hopefully he works through this crunch time free throw thing though.

    AD is weak-minded sadly. this stuff is already in his head

    really sucks because he had finally gotten his confidence in his shot back for the first time since the bubble
