The Hack a Shaq Philosophy Was in Full Force in the 2000 NBA Finals Despite His Free Throw Woes, Shaquille O’Neal Dominated the 2000 NBA Finals The Lakers Have Frustrated Dwight Howard through Two Games of 2009 NBA FinalsThrough two games of the 2009 NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers have done a magnificent job of limiting and frustrating Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard. While fouling Howard when they needed to (sending him to the line a combined 25 times in the first two games), the Lakers have been pretty effective for the most part in utilizing their lengthy front line and collapsing perimeter players to swarm Howard and make it hard for him to move around the rim. By no means have the Lakers had to rely on a Hack-a-Shaq philosophy with Howard, something that the Indiana Pacers did nine years ago today. In Game Two of the 2000 NBA Finals, the Pacers sent L.A.’s Shaquille O’Neal to the free throw line an NBA-playoff record 39 times in an eventual seven-point loss. Continue on to examine how the notoriously bad free throw shooter Shaq responded to getting hacked so much in Game Two.
