    What's the record for the longest time not having a free throw in a playoffs game?

    Part of it is Paul and Booker like to shoot fadeaways.

    They’ve had two 0 FTA halves this year, and ten with only 2 FTAs. Rank 29th in FTAs.

    Can’t rely on cp3 at all. Great player but not reliable

    as someone who is rooting for the lakers, i have to say that was one of the most well-called halves of basketball i have ever seen. you don't usually see such expert officiating this early in the playoffs.

    Vogel has to tell AD to take it into the paint and stop shooting jumpers.

    You bail out AD's defender by doing so, and then Drummond gets swarmed so that he can't get the rebound.

    Schroeder is a ball stopper.. Usually that term is used for great iso players... But in his case, he gets it then wants to play at his own pace... Which is fine if it's at the beginning of the shot clock.. But he does it when the ball is swinging ..

    Just don’t ask him to win in the playoffs (or make the Conference Finals, let alone make or win a championship). ;)

    As much as I want to see Phoenix beat LAL... it just ain't gonna happen.

    I'll watch this series. They should milk this every ounce, stretch it out 7 games.

    But the people who thought LAL would get eliminated 1st round? SMH...
