hack a jordan

[podsox]

this is hilarious and no they shouldn't change the rule.

They should when a team like the Spurs abuse the system to this extent.

Don't eliminate it but limit it at least

disagree. if u have a guy who cant make free throws then either take him out or deal with it. Jordan is a bigger embarrassment than the spurs gameplan

You get paid millions....you should be expected to shoot at least 70% at the free throw line.

In theory I'm fine with the rule.

In practice, it makes basketball games unwatchable

I don't think they should change the rules, but they might because it slows the game down. Spurs were doing it in the 2nd QTR tonight. It's been working pretty well tonight and you can't blame the Spurs for doing it. Jordan needs to hit more free throws.

why miss the ft on purpose? ton of time left

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah that was dumb

Hell no they shouldn't change the rules. THEY'RE FREE!

It wasn't enjoyable to watch, especially as a Clipper fan.

But, change the rules?

Make your free throws.

As a Lakers fan, I've been through about 10 seasons of Hack-a-Shaq and then 1 season of Hack-a-Dwight. My thoughts now are the same as they were then, you're being paid millions of dollars to make those unguarded shots. If you can't, that's on you. The rule shouldn't be changed, these guys should make their free throws.

If he can get his free throw shooting to at least a little over 60% (or do like Shaq and hit them when it counts), the Hack-a-Jordan will stop.

There's no need to change it. This happens to like 1 guy every couple of years. Usually that guy at least gets respectable at FTs to where the issue goes away. So why change the rule for 1 or 2 guys out of 400 other NBA players? It's just an outlier.

There are only 3 solutions to this problem.

1. Improve his free throw shooting.

2. Park his ass at the end of close games and live with the non-existent defense of Hawes.

3. Lose most close games by leaving him in as he misses 2/3 of his attempts.

Yep. I remember when the Lakers were going through it with Shaq. They tried everything possible strategically, but in the end, it was Shaq that stopped it. He started hitting his free throws late in close games and when teams went to the Hack-a-Shaq too early, he had a habit of getting in a rhythm and hitting them.

Jordan can limit them from using the rule by making his free throws - just as he did last night. The headline read - Hack A Jordan Fails.

Not sure how it failed. Jordan is about a 41% shooter from the line and last night he mad 35% of his 28 free throws

It failed because The Clippers beat the Spurs 119 to 115. As I said before - All Jordan has to do is figure it out and make the shots. It's ugly basketball, but they didn't change the rule of other players that have went through this and I see no reason to change it now. Let it motivate them to be ashamed of themselves and work to improve themselves

What? The Clippers did win didn't they? I'm just saying - that the hack a player didn't work because the Clippers did get the win and besides that - I like that Hack a player. It help the Lakers beat Houston in a game
