Get used to it that will happen a lot this year with the Miami Heat.

GSW- 31 fouls
Miami 12- fouls
James 17 FT's
Wade 16 Ft's
I have seen 1 player shoot more free throws than the other entire team in a game but I don't think I have ever seen 2 players do it (Wade shot just as many)

Hmmm Golden State is a jump shooting team, Wade and LeBron are not. How long will it take you to figure out that LeBron and Wade will get to the FT line a lot?

Golden State ranks 7th in 3 point FGs attempted per game, 2nd in 3 point FG %, and 5th in 3 point FGs made per game.

The Warriors also rank DEAD LAST in the NBA in free throws attempted per game, while Miami ranks 3rd.

Caron Butler likely out for the season. Bad break for the Mavs

Why do peopple always bitch about FT's? Are refs that bad? NO, let me repeat, no. Some people are more aggressive, and others arent. Refs will miss several calls, but the WHOLE ft line will not be piss poor. Sometimes, we've got some at home refs who see the game better on their 56in plazma than a ref 5 feet away.

Butler hurts short term, but he doesn't long term. The Mavs will be contenders for as long as Cuban and Dirk are there. With or without, they're not in the WCF.

Celtics snap their 2 game losing streak in Toronto with the return of Rajon Rondo 93-79 ..... Glen Davis had a nice game 15pt 11rb 8Aast.... The dunk by Paul Pierce was pretty sick

No response to facts about the free throws osu? The refs must have called a fair game during Boston's win, huh?

It's obvious that Phil Jackson does not care to have games on January 2nd.

Saw a tweet that the Lakers are 10-9 over their last 19 games. Is that right?

Lakers got booed by the home crowd during/after the loss to Memphis. How many defending champions(let alone 2x defending champs) have ever been booed at home? I would say not many.

It's January.

We saw Boston do the same thing last season.

NBA regular season ='s meaningless.

The Lakers usually go through a rough patch in their season...it literally means nothing.

Once again...

They were booed last Xmas Day '09 too.

We all saw what happened. Oh and they went through a shitty stretch after Xmas last season too.
