Shit, I was out today with a ball taking free throws and I'm 1 for 10..first shots in 10 years....but these guys do this every day. Is it the pressure? I see guys at 60%..what's that? I would bet almost every hockey player can make a shot from the half point on open net at least 90%. Enlighten me.

It's mental pressure.
Derozan shot 88% during the regular season and he was 2nd or third in regular season in FT attempts yet he missed 8 of 16 in game six against Miami. No explanation but pressure...
