I'm very pleased and pleasantly surprised with how Gana looked last night. Much more confidence on both sides of the ball...the boy can actually set a pick and defend on the perimeter!

Lets talk about this:
Diop 0-3 1-4 1

I thought all 3 of his shots were GOOD shots, one nice little J hook over Z that rattled off the rime three times before falling out. and he made a free throw! Ya baby 25% from the stripe, he must have been working with Jeff Kapel!

shouldn't all pro basketball players be able to shoot 60% from the foul line. it is your job. i don't get why this is.

pay me 7mil and i will shoot 60% at the ring toss at the carnival. at the lockout, stern should require any player not shooting 60% from the line to lose 50% of their pay. i bet their touch from the stripe would come along quickly.

I agree completely with chef. In all sports there should be a certain standard for some things. You're right it is their job. Maybe it can't happen every night, but it should be the set average for people who's job it is to do that. I am a Chef and if I only cooked half a meal, I would be in deep *^%! Its my job to cook the whole meal as it is their job to play their position. As far as the "try and shoot a softball into a minihoop" comment, is ridiculous. Thats like saying "try doin open heart surgery at home". Its not our profession, we shouldn't be able to do that. Just like we shouldn't be able to shoot 60% with a softball because its not our job. And to be honest, that wouldn't even be close to the same thing. These players are much taller than most of us, so shooting a miniball into a ten foot high mini-hoop wouldn't be close to what they are doing. More like shooting a Nerfball into a hoop at 8 feet high. Everyone wants to bash the armchair quarterback, but never look at the logic of what they are saying.

And PS CatNation, if you are in Raliegh and have a friend named Jason in Charlotte, he says Whats-up!
