Three Things The Rockets Must Do To Advance In Playoffs

1) Make Free Throws

It sounds simple doesn’t it?  From the time you played in your first YMCA league as a kid your coach harped on shooting free throws.  We have to make free throws….practice, practice, practice.  Well, that’s at least the way it used to be.

Today it does not seem like as many young players are doing that or being pushed or required to do that, especially big men.  To some extent starting with Shaquille O’Neal, on through to today’s NBA and college players, we continue to see player after player that cannot hit free throws if their lives depended on it.
