By www.sltrib.com(noreply@blogger.com) Ronnie Price, Brevin Knight and Ronnie Brewer had an excruciatingly difficult time keeping Charlotte point guards Raymond Felton and D.J. Augustin away from the basket. Felton and Augustin shot 14 free throws, including 12 in the fourth quarter.

By David Friedman(noreply@blogger.com) LeBron James nearly had a triple double (22 points, nine rebounds, nine assists) in just 30 minutes of action as the Cleveland Cavaliers improved to 1-1 by winning their home opener versus the Charlotte Bobcats, 96-79. Daniel Gibson scored a game-high 25 points, shooting 10-14 from the field; if he had not uncharacteristically missed three straight free throws in the fourth quarter after being fouled on a three point shot then he could have matched or exceeded his regular season career-high of 26 points. Mo Williams contributed 17 points, seven assists and four rebounds while only committing one turnover. Ben Wallace was a major force in the paint with 10 rebounds and five blocked shots. Jason Richardson led Charlotte with 24 points. Ada...   [read the full post]

By dberri Henry Abbott - of TrueHoop - posted a comment on Monday discussing the worst free throw shooting team in the NBA in 2007-08.  The team in question is the Charlotte Bobcats.  Charlotte - as Abbott emphasized - missed 605 free throws last season.  This stat prompted Abbott to state:

Rick Bonnell tells us the Charlotte Bobcats had the worst shooting percentage in the NBA, at 71.4%, and missed 605 free throws last year.
