One of my old music teachers used to say, "Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. If you repeat mistakes, you are only practicing how to be wrong."
In basketball there is not much time to think, just time to react. So, if you have not practiced the motions - doing it right - over and over and over, you will not do what you need to do when you need to do it. You have to program your brain, almost at a subconscious level, to do the right thing. You cannot so program your brain by doing the wrong thing (being sloppy) in practice.
