*89/100*

81/100

69/100

The 89 ties my all-time record. I worked hard to try to beat the record and I missed my 98'th shot. I concentrated after that letdown and nailed the 99'th and 100'th to tie though.

edit: whos I apparently was wrong. i did beat my record, not just tie it. i went back through this topic and apparently my record was 88 back in mid 2006. I looked afetr then at all my posts and I don't see an 89 anywhere so I guess I beat my record after all. This sucks. I got mad I only tied it and really I did beat it. lol I still wanted to break the 90 plateau though!

What's interesting is notice I made 80+ the next batch after the 88 and the next batch after this 89. And trust me I expended a LOT of energy in the 89 because I was trying hard to beat that record. I seriously thought I didn't have enough energy left to do good, yet I got over 80 again. That third set definitely went downhill due to me being so tired. lol

Man this last number shows how tired I got. I should have just stopped, but it was over 70 degrees today and tomorrow the high is barely over 40. So I wanted to get my shooting in today. I MADE ONLY 15 of my final 50 shots. hahaha.

Wow one shot today missed going in by what seemed to defy physics. It looked like it had rolled in and then it ended up going off the rim despite seemingly no momentum forcing it off. I also missed many more in weird ways really.

I think the reason i have eben missing more shots is because I moved the free throw line to 15 feet from the backboard and usually I had it 15 feet from the net in the past. I "think" it's supposed to be from the backboard. Just those few inches make a huge difference, especially when you're used to shooting it one way and have to get your aim down for a new distance.

That being said, I did start hitting them regularly again starting in the middle of my shots.

edit: actually that makes no sense... lol If I was once measuring 15 feet from the basket then now I would be CLOSER not further away. I think at one time I measured from the abse of the stand though. Whatever. Either way i am remeasuring now to be sure if I can move it up any.

Even the only small areas I had under 70% for were my last 50 fre throws (34/50) and my 3-pointers (6/10). I missed my 98'th shot to mess up that last 50 FT% and on 3's I missed my eighth one or I would have hit 70% there too.

So I think the reason I had eben doing bad lately was due to the sun being in my eyes because today I did fine.
