I've noticed he is standing about 5-6 inches behind the free throw line. I'm sorry but that's fucked up. There is a small dot immediately behind the free throw line at the midpoint. Put your right big toe on that dot and everything from your toe to your knee to your right hip to your elbow to your wrist and release point should be in line with that dot. You should be able to take the right/left error out of your shot by doing that and then its just a matter of repetition to get the distance grooved. And don't make the shot any longer than you have to.

Simple basics of basketball. Something the young guys still struggle.

Same. Which is why I think he is not mentally tough. I would have kept LaVine and traded Wiggins, even though Wiggins is the better player. LaVine is a harder worker I think and mentally clutch. LaVine will be the better player 3 years from now.

So rewound tge dvr that jimmy butler rebound that they called out of bounds and he very clearly was not. Also what is with these calls on kat when the big tries to seal him. Some bad calls but at least a watchable game. Kats defense leaves much to be desired.

Adams with 18 points early in the 3rd. That should never happen. Come on Kat
