    It looks like he's a lock to make it. Sorry, Murph.

    I'm actually more intrigued by the fact that the league-wide free throw percentage is higher this season than ever before. I hope that record gets broken, but they're only ahead by 1 one-hundredth of a percent right now...

    It wasn't too long ago that people were a b****ing about how the league lacked fundamentals, like free throw shooting.

    I wonder if the emphasis on three point shooting is giving the better shooters more PT and thus rising the league average FT %.

    It really speaks well of the Rockets, if we finish in the top five in FT% in a year that the league sets an all-time high for FT%.

    Go Winston Garland! #4 all time rookie FT% single-season (assuming Augustin doesn't fall hard out of the 3 spot)

    only averages 2 fts a game and no where near the talent level of Calvin Murphy.

    Calderon has only missed three free throws all year. That's incredible.

    Murphy is no less of a douche.

    He was celebrating like a classless doofus when MAR missed the FT to break his record some years ago.

    Murphy is more of a douche than Calderon. Murphy said he was going to put a hex on Calderon before he beat his streak.
