    wow lol @ you making this into something bigger than what it really is. Argument? hahah smh. It's pretty basic, you think DJ is a better FT shooter and I don't, so what? I can disagree. You really went into this small rant on a simple claim. It's not that serious. But judging by this it tells me how confident you are in yourself when making a claim like this. If I would of lost so be it. Admit being wrong and move on. But around here it doesn't happen too often obviously. Case in point here.

    First of, what's with the 'wow lol @ you'? Is this like children in the kindergarten speak nowadays? Just seems stupid and immature.

    Call it whatever you want - argument, discussion, conversation. That's what this placed is supposed to be for. But judging from the way you communicate you're kinda missing the point.

    Yeah, I get it now. Solid point.

    Yes, it's pretty basic. We disagreed on something and I've provided evidence to support my claim. You did not. Instead, then you went on to propose a bet that Capela will be a better FT shooter in the future (at the end of the season). I did not take that bet.

    What claim is that? I told you that DeAndre is currently a better FT shooter than Capela, and it's supported by statistcal data.

    INDEED.

    like i said you think %'s tell the entire story when it doesn't. Just stop replying to me then. You're obviously not confident enough in what you're trying to say. It was put to a simple test then someone got scared and decided to back track when I clearly took into account FT's volume in my original post yet you want to use that as a reason to be scared of a simple bet

    At least Capela has form...wtf is Jordan doing? No knee bend, just stick his arm straight up and tries to wrist it in. Ugly. "UGLY SHOT!" /nbajam

    I don't get how pro ballers shoot less than like...idk 70%? Come on man. FREE THROWS.

    No, Internet message board is not a place for ignorance. Clint Capela has been a decent free throw shooter.

    His FT shooting this season is actually much better than his career average.

    Umm...

    Jordan:
    This season: .514
    Career: .430

    Capela:
    This season: .473
    Career: .386

    Jordan is better both this season and career. Neither guy can be called a "decent" free throw shooter.

    Stats don't mean anything. Last I checked Capela was .500 this season, and Deandre Jordan was lower Than .500. Capela has been shooting well at the free throw line, I've seen him.

    Quite an unfortunate time to be touting capela at the line....both parties have a point here. DJ is shooting better at the line right now based on percentage. Also, Capela CLEARLY has the better form of the two, and has shown he can be better than his percentage. As his career continues, I wouldn't be surprised to see him surpass DJ.

    Hasn't happened this season. Have to go back to December of last season, over a year ago, for that to have been the case.

    He needs to hit the weights and get stronger, he's too weak. Can't even reach the rim on the FT? Little kids can do that.
