[RoosterMarty]

He wasn't getting the calls he normally gets so decided to jack up as many shots as possible?

[the big bang]

He wasn't getting the calls he normally gets so decided to jack up as many shots as possible?

first of all, the line i quoted was "forcing a lot of shots". not 'jacked up as many shots as possible'.

secondly, if he was getting the calls he would normally get, then the shots he was taking whilst getting fouled doesn't count toward his FGA. so if he's saying there should have been 5 or 6 fouls called, that takes his stats down to 16/35ish, suddenly he's at nearly 50%, probably with 8 or 9 extra points he would have converted from the line.

now, i didnt see a single second of the game, so obviously i'm just basing all this on stats i've seen and what was said post game.

Maybe the refs have finally woken up to his antics

[Jim05]

Knicks by 1 end of third.
Not a bad game so far

[Turbo]

Go you Lakers. Great win

[Johno6]

bloody oath, great win great game to watch.
hoping this heat okc game is the same,

[the big bang]

WE BACK BABY!

[Jim05]

Woeful last period by the Knicks.
Felton disgraceful once again, time for him to be dropped, cant persist with a guy who cant make simple shots.
In a real ordinary patch ATM, need to get out of it quickly

[Johno6]

what a day of sport, 5 nba games and boxing day test.

perfect for the hangover

[RoosterMarty]

Another good game in Miami. Heat by 1 at the last break.

Just a warm up to the big one between Chicago and Houston of course.

[Johno6]

Sorry mate
Backing rockets today. Just hope it's another good game tho
Struggling to stay awake tho on 3.5 hours sleep

[Jim05]

Good win by Miami, after a few splutters early on in the season they are now starting to show why they are still the best

[Jim05]

Houston giving the Bulls a touchup ATM

[RoosterMarty]

Houston shooting 60%.

Going to be tough to come back from here, our perfect home record on Christmas Day could be coming to an end.

[Jim05]

Bulls down by 30, absolute pantsing ATM

[RoosterMarty]

Only down by 17 now.

[Jim05]

Houston win 120-97

[Pup]

Backed Rockets at $2.65 too.

Two shocking games in a row by the Bulls. I expect a win tomorrow against the Pacers.

The big O torched us with close to a 20/20 game. Gee I was glad to see that

[Johno6]

I got $2.70. Odds too good to refuse.
Can't wait for lakers again tomorrow.

[Oz]

Bulls/Pacers game off due to blizzards in Indy.

Heat/Bobcats-think this one could end up ugly.
