Its frustrating b/c what can you do? NO statistic or trend is going to point to a team coughing up a 16 point lead and missing free throws and fouling a 3 point shooter when you are up 5 with 15 secs left. Just like defensive TD's in football. Like free throws in bball, they literally make the game impossible sometimes.
Supposedly, it works both ways. I won a pacers halftime bet this week cuz someone fouled with a second left and both were made. I lost with the lakers last night +3 cuz they fouled iverson with a tick left and he made both. I dont come here posting that stuff because when you have a line of 8 or so and under you EXPECT free throws to screw you one night or help you the next. NO big deal. Its like turnovers in football. You know they happen, will screw you or help you. But the turnovers going allllllllllll the way back for scores are NOT factored into the equation. I got burnt by 3 in two games tonight. Impossible to win going against that crap
