I know Cleveland is not a very good barometer of success, but that's still a pretty cool accomplishment. Chase Budinger had a good shooting day, which was good to see because he's been struggling this year.

rockets

great addition to the thread.

I love the rockets but KMart also shootS more FT than nearly everyone in the league. The guy flops like Manu

I'm guessing image = kmart. It's true that KMart does look for fouls to try to get to the free throw line as much as possible. But, why wouldn't he? He shoots 92% and it makes him a more efficient player and gets the other team in foul trouble. He doesn't outright flop any more than other perimeter players like Kobe, Manu, Chris Paul, Dirk, Wade, etc.

KMart is second in the league in scoring per 48 minutes, to Kobe Bryant, and he's doing so with a higher shooting percentage than Kobe Bryant from 2P, 3P, and FT.

It's too bad he sucks at defense.

If you dont want him getting to the free throw line then stop falling for pump fakes, bumping him on the perimeter, and learn his tendencies when he is close to the basket. When he goes for a close range shot, he creates contact and still makes most of his shots. Learn how to play defense without falling for his tricks. Until then, keep whining when he is doing nothing more than players like Kobe, Wade, Paul have been doing for years. Its what makes them great.
