Would you consider Andre Drummond going 1/2 at the FT line in a 99-97 ballgame where his team is losing with 0.1 seconds left on the clock a "choke"? (alien.top)

Andre Drummond is a career .476 FT shooter.

Going 50% from the line would honestly be an improvement from his average. But of course, it still results in his team losing. I'm curious if the general fan views this as a choke or not.

Yeah, that’s a coaching choke

No, it was a failure on his team's part to be in that situation. If he needed 1 to tie or win, and missed both, that would be a choke. But he is a 50 percent ft shooter, so he hit his expected outcome.

Good question btw. Im sick of discussing "is player x better than player y" questions.

Having BBall as your full time job and only shooting .476 from the line makes your whole career a choke

Id be wondering why the fuck is Andre Drummond taking the last shot for my team

[–] inshamblesx@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

no bc the real choke would be letting him get to the ft line in such a close game
