Was almost hard to watch has he got closer and closer to the record.



I honestly felt sorry for him.


And it’s hard to feel sorry for anyone on that clusterfuck of a team.

Bojan Bogdanovic's FT% is 88.8.

Game is not over, but we missed three of the last four free throws. Kessler one and Conley two.

Lauri Markkanen delivers.

Chris Paul 5/10 from the foul line.

I love this stat. STAT OF THE MONTH.

Good job Russell Westbrook!

Bad job Luka Doncic.

0:11.0 98-100 +1 R. Westbrook makes free throw 1 of 2
0:11.0 98-101 +1 R. Westbrook makes free throw 2 of 2

Bullock also missed the 3-pointer, meaning the potential 5 point play was a zero point play.

2:50.0 Flagrant foul type 1 by R. Westbrook (drawn by L. Dončić) 103-103
2:50.0 Instant Replay (Request: Ruling Stands) 103-103
2:50.0 L. Dončić misses flagrant free throw 1 of 2 103-103

2:50.0 Offensive rebound by Team 103-103
2:36.0 R. Bullock misses 3-pt jump shot from 24 ft 103-103

Good job LeBron James.

1:11.0 105-107 +1 L. James makes free throw 1 of 2
1:11.0 105-108 +1 L. James makes free throw 2 of 2

You might be wondering, if Westbrook made his FTs, why didn't the Lakers win?

This is why:

0:06.0 L. Dončić makes 3-pt jump shot from 27 ft +3 101-101

You might be wondering, if Luka Doncic and Reggie Bullock screwed up the 5 point play, AND LeBron then made his FTs, why didn't the Lakers win?

This is why.

0:47.0 L. Dončić makes 3-pt jump shot from 27 ft +3 108-108

And this is why:

0:00.0 108-108 L. James misses 2-pt layup from 2 ft (block by C. Wood)

Bad Sexton.
Great Kessler.
Disappointing Markannen.

 

[nuraman00]

Great Kessler.

They were all bad.

They didn't make their free throws.

 

[MHSL82]

They were all bad.

They didn't make their free throws.

Bad post. Quoting what you say to me. Kessler was 2-2 in the last minute, first clutch free throws of his NBA career, hence posting in this thread. Got the offensive rebound off Sexton’s second free throw miss. He was great. Markkanen only made one of two, Sexton 0/2.

 

[nuraman00]

Ok, you're right @MHSL82.

 

[nuraman00]

I think Antetokounmpo started the year shooting FTs decently.

He's now shooting the 2nd worst of his career, 64.6%. His worst was 63.3%.

 

[MHSL82]

 

[nuraman00]

Silent confidence, without the profanity, would have been better.

Also, even if he won the bet, so what? His season average would barely had changed.

If he's going to make a wager, do it for a season average. That would be a better indication of "knocking them down".

 

[nuraman00]

Antetokounmpo went 10-23 in his final game of the year, a loss.

That, and his 7 turnovers, kind of side shadowed his 3 assists, 38 points and 20 rebounds.
