Tacko has taken 7 FTs in his entire NBA career. Small sample size indeed.

So I checked his college stats. His FT shooting was awful there too. And his FT% actually went down each year of his 4 year career.

And hope the game is out of reach to the point that the other team just doesn't foul him and make him shoot above his carreer average of UNDER FORTY **** PERCENT FROM THE FREE THROW LINE. Tacko sucks. You aren't smarter than the Celtics coaching staff on this one.

If you put Tacko into a normal game, with the assumption that the other team wants to win, they just foul him every single time. And he scores 2 points every three possessions for the worst offense in NBA history. I am the biggest Tristan Thompson hater on the forum and he's 100000000x better than Tacko Fall. At least Tristan can hit 50% on his free throws.

Fun player, wish he were on a different roster so I could watch his fun plays without thinking, "wow, this guy actually is the worst player in NBA history."


I am actually speechless with this. Meanwhile I'd be willing to bet the "worst player" would easily match any production from TT. Meanwhile no one said he would STOP Embiid. But there are different degrees of failures at defending Embiid. The other centers (TT and Theis) have failed miserably. I think Tacko can be better. Can't really be much worse.
There is no prize for coming so close Do something!
