Bullshit.  Good foul shooters slow down their shot and its mechanics, take
their time and execute the basic fundamentals of shooting the ball.  They do
not get to the line, take a dribble and shoot as if there is a 3 second time
clock about to expire.  Antoine is very guilty of this.  He never properly
sets, dips and shoots.  But if it was about attitude, Iverson would never
miss one nor would Walker.

Our foul shooting woes is something I have pointed out plenty of times in
the past, so I stopped mentioning it over and over again.  I even mentioned
it last year during our exit from the playoffs.  But it is something which
must be practiced continually, without exception.
