    28 is actually the record for FT made in a game so Durant was 4 from tying it.

    Most free throws made, game
    28-Wilt Chamberlain, Philadelphia vs. New York, at Hershey, Pa., March 2, 1962
    28 - Adrian Dantley, Utah vs. Houston, at Las Vegas, January 4, 1984


    34 is the record for FT attempts. Durant was 8 away.

    Most free-throw attempts, game
    34-Wilt Chamberlain, Philadelphia vs. St. Louis, February 22, 1962

    For those who didn't watch, I assure you KD's FTs were legit. The Clippers have to be the least intelligent defensive team in the league. Brutal. Just get a 1/2 step on your man and go straight towards the rim.

    Did you mean to say they were NOT legit because of the bad defense? Or were you saying he was truly getting hacked, not bad officiating?

    It sounded like you might have missed a word and meant to say that him getting so many FTs was not legit due to the piss poor defense of the Clippers. I saw it as somewhat ambiguous. No big deal.

    And they still lost? To a crappy, injured Clippers team? Jesus, that team is even worse than I thought.

    Earl Watson was called for carrying the ball what seemed like 10 times. Between Watson, Westbrook, Green and Durant, there was just too much one-on-one basketball. Their poor defense also doesn't help them get key stops late in close games. The Thunder have a long way to go but they do have some nice talent in Durant, Green and Westbrook.

    Durant also played almost 46 minutes and all of the 2nd half, I believe. I could see him lagging a little bit early in the 4th quarter. I think Brooks should have given him a few minutes of rest.

    Have to give much respect to that young gun Eric Gordon.

    41 tonight, he can dead set go.

    As can Al Thornton.

    Clippers could be really good next year if they can get healthy...

    man I really feel like the clips woulda done something if they could stay healthy!

    baron
    gordon
    thornton
    Camby
    Kaman

    Bench
    Randolph
    Rick Davis

    Thats a good front 7 and gordon is a stud for a rookie, Camby down low is a great rebounder and randolph and ricky off the bench can score they coulda been a nice 8 seed this year with utah and boozer not living up to expectations o well thats why they play the game
