Free Throws

[Rastapopoulos]

Nice little stat:

The Trail Blazers lost in Cleveland but they did have more free throw attempts than the Cavs, which extended Portland's streak of consecutive games shooting more free throws than their opponent to 13, tying a franchise record set in November 1982. The Blazers' streak also equals the 2008-09 NBA season high set by the Sixers (13 games, Jan. 31-Feb. 28).

They are taking it to the rack more then just shooting J's.

Yep. There's a new focus on drive-and-dish over the early season "round the arc" passing game.

Which contradicts with the entire Barkley "Portland is a Jumpshooting team" and the people that believe it is true.

Has Chuck been repeating that meme this year? I admit I haven't watched much of TNT's coverage this season.

he said it earlier this year and we had a post telling us that we fool ourselves if we pretend it isn't so just yesterday
