Yep , Orlando had their chances and blew it. Any 1 of maybe 6 foul shots by Howard or Turkoglu puts the game on ice. Howard shot 6 of 14 from the line. In plain english...That sucks. I can get more than 6 of 14 in from the line and I'm 56 with an artificial hip. He should be ashamed of himself.
Another one that got me pissed was the way he let himself get manhandled under the basket in the last 2 minutes. If you mauled Cowens like they mauled Howard you'd be in a coma next trip down the court. That's why god gave basketball centers elbows. What a sissy!
Bend over Dwight , the Lakers are lined up behind you in the shower and you deserve it!
You mentioned Bird. He shot 89% from the line for his whole carreer and yet he practiced an extra hour every single day just shooting from the line. I doubt Howard has practiced free throws an hour in a whole week.
How about losing the 3rd quarter by 16 points! I agree they are just newbies with playoff jitters. Certainly didn't play like professionals. If you can't win with a 5 point lead and 1 minute left you just are not champions.
