Doug Smith’s Toronto Raptors blog
Sure, it’s nice that the Raptors lead the NBA in free-throw shooting percentage, firing at an 83.7 per cent clip. But what’s troubling to them is that no one but Chris Bosh seems to get to the line and Toronto’s 26th of 30 teams in free throws attempted.
Take Saturday, for instance: Bosh shoots 17 foul shots, the team shoots 22. Bargnani got to the twice, so did The Hump and Calderon shot a technical.
It’s got something to do with the offensive style they play, sure; but someone has to start taking the ball the hole a little more often.
THANK YOU AGAIN, DOUG SMITH.
Is anyone else out there picking up on this? It’s not exactly rocket science and it has been happening for YEARS.
