Hey, I was just wondering where does the Suns 38-40 free throw shootin tonight rank all time in the NBA. I think this might be a top 5 performance in the history of the NBA, Because not many teams that put up 40 shots usually make 38 of them.

I see Shaq didn't get to the line then...

Yeah? That's crazy. Since when can Shaq hit free-throws?

Phil Webber is working with Shaq really hard for him to improve his free throws, so I guess its paying off.

Yeah, 7 of 9 is probably average for an NBA player, but for Shaq it's a real achievement.

^^He's been shooting free throws like crap for the past 15 years, saying that he's going to improve might be an awful reach (he's also shooting them worse than in Miami

). Great team effort though. 95% FT shooting, that's just nasty.

I remember the Mavs shooting 49/50 in a playoff game 4 or 5 years ago.
Nonetheless, 38/40 is very impressive.

mavs missed the first free throw then proceeded to drain 49 free throws in a row.
