Once again, because it seems like Jay is the only one getting this – it’s not that he’s shooting free throws, it’s how he gets them. Game 2 of the WCF he tried flopping into a foul nearly every shot he took. It’s ridiculous.

People are a bunch of losers, whiners, and hive mind complainers.
It literally goes both ways. OKC had the least amount of FTs through first 2 rounds. SGA is the most efficient scorer even if you didn’t count anybody’s FTs.
J Will sounds like he can’t remain objective which he’s supposed to.
Never seen so much hate for greatness. Not even for the Chiefs who also get favorable calls but guess what…. They’re the champs, deal with it.

Over the last 5 years , this is a % of points scored that came from free throw line .
Nikola Jokić — 18.5%
Giannis Antetokounmpo — 24.0%
Luka Dončić — 21.6%
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — 25.9%
Anthony Edwards — 17.6%

I can’t stand Perkins. He’s ignorant and stupid. He only has a job because of personality.

Definitely a very skillful player, but he “chooses” to play this way to expose the blindness of the officials is just not respectable.
