Why is he shooting 60 percent on free throws?? Is he injured ofr something?? He hasnt been doing well this season on free throws he is normally an 80% shooter....
As long as it's considered a waste of a thread, I guess I'll make a bad joke here. Why did the fish cross the road? ... ... ... It didn't. Fish can't walk about on land. That's why they're fish, and that's the only reality in which I feel safe.
<div class="quote_poster">norespect Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Waste of a thread....</div> How is asking why Jet is struggling on free-throws a waste of a thread? It's a decent question actually. Only part of this thread that was a waste was when you decided to look in and reply to It.

Maybe his wrist hurts, maybe he is cutting his fingernails too short....maybe he is hearing voices while he is at the line, maybe there is a dog across from his bedroom window and barks all night so he can't sleep...... or maybe he is just struggling...... all speculative....i'm sure nobody knows
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">t's too early to sound the alarm. Do that when a team has won 13 of its last 14 games, and no one will listen, anyway. But in the last few days, Mavericks coach Avery Johnson has begun to wonder. Is Jason Terry mired in a shooting slump, or do his numbers over the last week to 10 days reflect a deeper issue? Has the guard's impact been diminished by the emergence of Devin Harris and the additions to the Mavericks rotation? A dip in scoring average doesn't concern Terry or anyone else in the organization. But the team must be careful here. Take the ball out of his hands too much, let Josh Howard shoot more of the shots that used to be Terry's and you minimize what makes him special. That's a line the Mavericks don't want to cross. "That's one I have a close eye on, how I'm using him this year, how I'm subbing him in and out of games," Johnson said. "Jason has been a huge part of our success. I don't see him in the rhythm of the game as much as I've seen in the past. We've got to try to fix that. We need him to take and make shots." Terry has failed to score in double figures in three of the six games leading up to Thursday night's contest with Detroit. He averaged 8.5 points and shot 27.2 percent from the field in the Mavericks' two-game road trip to start the week. The Mavericks wanted to move Terry off the ball more this season, but they didn't want to shove him out of the offense. But look at what's happening. Harris is improving nightly at the point. Anthony Johnson is coming off the bench with strong minutes. That means Terry picks up fewer and fewer minutes at the position. The coaching staff estimates the ball is in Terry's hands 30 percent less than it was last season. Then you have Howard's natural offensive development. He has passed Terry as the Mavericks' second-leading scorer and is actively hunting for shots he once ignored. Terry averaged 20.1 points in the eight games Howard missed with an ankle injury. He's averaged slightly more than 10 points in the games the small forward has been healthy. He's also averaged four fewer shots in those games. No starter has sacrificed more of his game to help the team get off to a 13-5 start than Terry. But he doesn't look at it that way. "The whole team has had to make adjustments," Terry said. "I haven't analyzed the situation. I haven't paid much attention to it. To me, it's more trying to find consistency with my play. Once that happens, I know I'll be all right." </div> Source This writer tries to explain why Terry is struggling.
