    News Flash: The commentators are not always 100% correct, ever once in awhile they get something wrong.

    They were tied for #1 in free throws made. And Durant made more per game, so I think its fair to say he led the league in free throws made.

    Good. ESPN commentators are horrible. In the Denver vs OKC game, Felton missing a layup was clearly got hit in the head and yet the commentator couldn't even tell he got hit in the head, that's why he missed the layup. Instead this horrible female commentator mentioned about why isn't a Denver Nuggets around the rim following the fast break.

    And at the end of the game, JR Smith was clearly hit on the elbow while trying to shoot a 3 and YET AGAIN this stupid female commentator said what GREAT DEFENSE played by Harden. Did she even watch the replay before suggesting someone is playing great D? Did she even know why JR Smith is fuming mad at the end?? ESPN commentators totally ignored every little details on the court....they're pathetic.

    Jesus Christ. Because the world revolves around the HOUSTON ROCKETS. :rolleyes:
    Just face it guys, until we start winning we're not going to get respect.
    It's also funny how some of you guys expect ESPN broadcasters to remember Rocket's stats religiously. Sometimes ESPN commentators miss something pretty obvious; however most of the time you guys are just nitpicking.

    Ummm, Durant did lead the league and free throws made. OKC was playing, Houston was not. There really wasn't any reason for them to bring Martin up because it's a national broadcast and nobody outside of Houston gives a ****. I'm sure the point of bringing up the stat was to heap some praise Durant and using the opportunity to bring up another player would diminished that.

    If somebody brought up that Dwight Howard was 3rd in free throws made, I wouldn't really expect them to mention that Durant and Martin made more. And next year, I wouldn't be surprised if Bill brings up that Martin led the NBA in free throws without mentioning that Durant did too.

    I agree that some announcers are bad and I hate Doris Burke on ESPN but that last play of the Denver vs okc game was NOT a foul. JR smith took a terrible shot and Harden played great D.

    I agree, Burke is trash, but that wasn't a foul. His hands were straight up and he didn't lean into him.

    Durant did lead the NBA. He was tied with Kevin Martin.

    I don't see how ESPN did anything wrong

    Man, this saying is losing all its context. Next, it's gonna be, something like "You know, I don't like the vanilla flavor of ice cream." And someone will say "You mad?"
