Heat 8 FTA last game = lowest total by a team in the last 1,447 NBA playoffs games

[livinglegend]

Very interesting
I guess players should complain more about ft disparity in their postgame interviews.

[Haymaker]

It's gonna be a FT parade for them next game.

it should be to even things up

[Hey Yo]

Whoever tweeted that the other day was wrong. The Knicks last season I believe took only 3 FTA in one of their playoff games.

Actually they got 8, but they only made 3.

The last team to get fewer than 8 FTAs was MIA in 06 against CHI.

[Hey Yo]

Thanks for the correction.

No, refs should be fair to both for the next two games. Let them duke it out.

Agreed, I never liked make up calls.

The refs did screw Miami in game 5, but that's in the past now, and I just hope they do a better job in game 6.

[Marchesk]

and I just hope they do a better job in game 6.

Yeah, they need to call those fouls on Lebron even earlier. A game 7 would be in Indiana would be a war zone.

And the Heat can't be too rested while the Spurs edge out OKC in 7.

[edrick]

The Heat have taken 20 fewer FTs than the Pacers. People really should stop bitching about the Heat taking too many FTs.

[jzek]

Rigged so there'll be 7 games

It's not the amount of fouls really, it's the kind of fouls calls, the timing and the circumstances. A ref can influence the outcome of a game with only one call.

This can be said about literally every single team left in the playoffs.

Good strategy by the Pacers, stop playing defense to beat the rig. Chokers like Bran will brick their shots without whistle security backing them up

I needed to make sure the free throw disparity wasn't too huge in favor of Miami by the end of the series.

Yeah I'm so sorry Bran's had two foul trouble games in his entire playoff career. Excuse me while I weep and light a prayer candle.

[Rubio2Gasol]

I don't understand why a team would get free throwa shooting corner 3's.

:lol
Seriously. Being a Laker fan forever and foul trouble was just something that happened every other game with Shaq. You learn to suck it up and deal with it. Win anyway. No excuses.
