    I didn't even know of this free-throw rule before this.

    Everyone should take a second and watch that video, note that Violet Palmer is on the court. I dunno if she's the one who made either call, just saying, this should be taken into account...

    I think his faith says it quite clearly. He is not a Christian.

    Matthew 7:16 - "You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?"

    I would say his actions demonstrate he is not a Christian at heart. At best he is like a seed that has fallen by the wayside, being choked by the thorns of the worlds worries and desires.

    D.Howard is the Kingof Technicals. I would love to see Brooks in Orlando too. They can both have a technical orgy with the refs.

    I remember when Jermaine O'Neal played for Indiana he would have the longest free-throw routine. He would dribble a couple of times and just hold the ball prepared to shoot for like 10 seconds. It was ridiculous.

    I feel bad for players like Howard and Yao. They get punished by the refs for being big. They get pounded and get no calls while perimeter guards get touch fouls. The NBA really needs to do something about consistency. I know refereeing a basketball game is difficult but seriously...stop punishing certain players and call a fair game.
