Dwight Howard with the worst-timed air-balled free throw you'll ever see

This one's going to be plastered all over the Internet in the coming days, with good reason.

As if you needed any more evidence that Dwight Howard at the free-throw line in the final two minutes of a close game is bad news, he just did this with the Lakers down two against the Heat on Thursday night. Howard had been fouled when Steve Nash attempted a lob to him, and many wondered why Nash just didn't take the shot in the first place. After seeing this, those concerns made sense.

It's never a good time to air ball a free throw, but doing so in the final two minutes of a two-point game that everyone who remotely cares about basketball is watching is particularly rough. I hope Dwight is ready for the backlash he's going to receive.
