Revis Island Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Just curious, people constantly ride Dwight about this and make excuses for him.... Would you say Dwight Howard pulled a Nick Anderson in Game 4 of the NBA Finals? I would say yes, I mean he shoots 60% FT, and he made 0-2 which is below his averages, way below. Choke job if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 He had a chance to wrap up the game, and blew it missing both of them. Yes, he may be an okay free throw shooter, but theres still no excuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lkr Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) He's a horrendous free throw shooter. Worse than Shaq. I wouldn't call Shaq a choker from missing free shots. But then again, we all know you're obsessed with Yao(who is too busy being injured to make The Finals) to listen to anyone else's argument. Nick Anderson was a good free throw shooter, and should have easily made free shots. It is like comparing game clinching free throws, and on one hand you have Kobe Bryant going to the line, and on the other hand you have Shaq.

Force Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 I'm not saying he choked as hard as Anderson, but he still choked. He was shooting 64 percent from the strip during the playoffs, and only needed to make one. He didn't and it bit him and Orlando up the butt.

Lkr Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) Howard was 64% in the playoffs, but has been bad throughout his entire career. He is a notoriously bad free throw shooter. You can't blame it on Howard, it is that simple. No one expected those to be made. With Nick Anderson, those free throws were counted before they were shot. Howard is a career 60% free throw shooter and shot 6-14 in that game. He is not a free throw shooter, to call that a choke is simply absurd.

Erick Blasco Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 What Howard did was the definition of choke. He had a chance to put away a Finals victory at the only place on the court where you can't be defended, and he blew it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdog17k Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Lkr is right about Howard being bad from the line in his career, doesn't matter if he shot 64% in the playoffs, with Howard that stat can change drastically at any moment. Given he's bad from the line... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
