Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4460226, member: 181"] I'm kind of repeating myself with my sole comment in Chat last night, and highlighting that Newton took zero free throws in the past two games, but if I had a breakdown of 1st & 2nd half in the triple double game, I could offer the exact numbers. By memory impression, Tristen was 2-9 FGs from the field in the 1st half against Buffalo. He finished the game 4-14, including 0-5 from 3. In the 2nd half, he went right to the hole from beginning and finished 14-17 from the line, 22 points, in addition to the assists and rebounds. To me, he got himself unstuck by drawing fouls, and I wish he'd done it last night. I still think it could be a function of not fully adjusting to AJax being in the lineup, and I still think it's a coaching priority to maximize an historic strength that is likely to pay dividends in close games when free throws for any source will be essential. Might even be a worthy goal for the next two weeks. [/QUOTE]
