Nuggets had their chance but their young guys made some dumb moves at the end to seal it.

young Devin Booker! impressive! in spite of a loss! 32pts with the 6 3s! he has more than 3s in his game!

Nuggets lose, Bucks win, Pelicans win. Good news for the Thank Nation, aside from that atrocious mess Phoenix has become.

Hoping the Bucks and Pelicans can figure it out and put together a solid run toward the end of the season and catch the Knicks. Phoenix is too talented to be this bad, but they're an absolute disaster and I doubt there's any fixing that this season.

What does that mean? That the other team makes more FTs against the Raptors as they do with the Bulls? Or is it because the FT% is skewed because the Raptors give the other team so many FTs?

Has anyone ever done any research into if the ball, in fact, doesn't lie?

That's a lot of missed free throws (7 of 24) by Drummond tonight. It's still on the 3rd too.

A college group did a study of this. They found that if a player was unjustly sent to the free throw line, there was a good chance they'd miss the first free throw.

Bulls getting destroyed, helps the Raptors remain in that 2nd Seed.

The guy's high on meth.

6 mins left in the 4th and majority Rockets fans have already left the building... holy, 15 points isint that much of a hole.

At least the majority of Raptor fans will stay in the same situation.

Drummond 33FTs made 13 LOL

Must be infuriating as a Pistons fans giving up so many points every game. The one thing I like about the Raptors bigs is that they are generally good FT shooters. I think being a team that cant be hack-a-shaq'd is beneficial than say the Rockets or Pistons, who likely have to make that much more shots, or reluctantly leave their big on the bench in crunch time.

Yes everyone thinks Drummond is better than JV and yes he is a outstanding rebounder but that's where it ends.
