    LOL the last two were great. Don Nelson hasn't changed and the hitch in the last tw free throws was just comical.

    Nash missed two FTs at the end of the Pistons game. It happens. Aldridge hits clutch FTs all the time. You just only notice it when he misses.

    Simple statistics show that while Aldridge is a good FT shooter normally, during clutch situations his average goes down

    Did you miss the Dallas game? He also hit a huge shot last night. Your negative attitude is getting old. We're only winning 30 games, Aldridge sucks in the clutch, but Rubio 's the next Rondo. You are a horrible analyst here.

    He's bad at the free throw line in late game situations, that doesn't make him a bad player. Get over it.

    small sample size? according to 82games he has shot 19 clutch free throws, and made 12 this year...so if he made 3 of those misses hes around 80%...so all this bitching about 3 missed free throws...

    oh btw, last year he shot 91% in the clutch, in again, a small sample size.

    everyone. just. relax.

    I tend to agree that it's mostly a "this year" thing and not a career problem, but it's been a bit of an issue.

    No biggie.

    I think every "star" player is allowed 1 weakness.

    Last 5 games; his shooting has been pretty clutch. I don't see your point.

    So lebron James wasn't a superstar when he would shoot poorly in the 4th? See where your analogy is off?

    big men struggle with free throw shooting sometimes, sometimes for years, or entire careers

    duncan is a great example of this, but thats why he is not a superstar
