Naturally, he misses both FTs and airballs the second one because he's the worst FT shooter in NBA history.

Is there a historical stat for any player with FG% higher than FT%

I was only half paying attention to most of this game because I was watching the Arkansas/Vandy game on my TV and had this one playing on my laptop.

What happened to Gordon Hayward?

Robes. Also: For once his bs shots weren't falling.

Didn't get to watch the game. I saw Vic had 18 in the first half and 4 in the second half. I'm happy about 22 points but I wish he could put it together both halves. Hasn't happened yet this year.

I checked and actually there are many names (mostly centers) with FG% > FT% like DeAndre Jordan, good old Dwight, Noah, Biyombo etc..

But! Just 4 rows up Roberson, there is a familiar name with similar FT% (48%) but somehow he managed to hit jumpers at an amazing rate of 33%. Wow! I am sure you know who that is..

On another note, the possession before the Joe Ingles dribbled around awkwardly like the big goofy white guy that he is, lost the ball two times with Kanter defending him, finally is able to get enough forward momentum to get almost to the FT line, pulls up with Kanter still defending him well, and buries the jumper. Because of course he did.

He double dribbled on that possession as well. Reffing was laughable
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Robes. Also: For once his bs shots weren't falling.

Right, but he only played 21 minutes and pretty much didn't play the whole second half. Did he get hurt?

He was benched by Synder for his lack of effort and was not allowed to return when the game was close as a sort of punishment.
