Lebron needs a free throw coach...

[4cwebb]

first he shots 4-9 against the Lakers last week, and his team loses by 1 point.

Tonight he shots 8 for 15, including 3-6 down the stretch in the 4th quarter, in a one-point loss to Denver. To make matters worse, he missed the second of two free throws with a chance to tie the game with 0.6 seconds left.

Cavs need all the wins they can get with Hughes injured, and while Lebron is doing many other things well, he's making the game harder than it needs to be by shooting so poorly from the charity stripe.

From what I've seen (and I didn't see those crucial FTs tonight) he usually starts missing free throws when he shoots them too casually, like all he has to do is put it up at the rim and the ball will do the rest of the work. He could be more consistent with his form and I think some coaching in that direction could also serve as a device to improve his free throw line focus.

lets not forget he was the reason they had a chance when he missed the second shot on purpose than got his own rebound and got fouled again.... none the less he should have made the last free throw.....

Clutch shooting

Did anyone see that stat they put on the screen comparing the "clutch" shooting of LeBron and Anthony? The way I remember it, LeBron is only 2 for 15 when taking a shot that could win the game for them. Anthony was 7 for 11. Wow, that's a huge difference!

LeBron choked last night. He is young - he will learn it

LeBron is a has been. Cavs should get rid of him. Trade the choker!! He would be perfect for the Kings. Team full of chokers!

Do you think GP can use that as a sales pitch to the Cavs?
