The 2006 NBA finals turned me into the bitter sports fan I am today. I had just turned 18 and the consequences were never the same. Fuck David Stern. Fuck him in the dick. The same dick that Dwayne Wade has his lips wrapped around ever so tenderly.

Wow, I'm a heat fan but that was fucking wrong!

lol how bad can a referee be??? just because you move your hands forward doesn't mean the foul did happen...

[Ben Davis]

LOL! another obvious foul... just because you pull your hands back doesn't mean the foul didn't happen.. Next!!?!

The discrepancy comes from blocked shots. These are certainly missed shots, but the entries do not contain the word "miss". There were 10 blocks in the Lakers/Suns game, and Lebron blocked one of Terry's shots at the end of the first quarter.

By the way, the game you gave me a link for, the play-by-play misses a missed FG by Jason Terry which resulted in 2 of his free throws. Let me know if you and Simmons have any more crazy theories. Wade and LBJ weren't drawing any fouls in this series so it's a bad example and I still found one.

I don't know why you and Simmons don't understand basic rules. Go to any game play by play. Let's take the March 22nd, 2011 Lakers-Suns 3OT game. Count how many FT's were missed. There were 7 total. The play by play lists all 7. Now look at shots missed. The play by play lists 112 missed shots, however both teams missed 122 combined. I can look at that play by play and know exactly where those missed shots are not listed, right before a free throw attempt. great game by the way.

No, he's disputing whether or not the foul was a shooting foul, i.e. whether the fouled player should be awarded free throws.

Here's an example of a play-by-play: tinyurl(.)com/3uej2x9

This page lists every play, including missed shots and shooting fouls, that occurred throughout the game. Notice whenever a shooting foul occurs, no missed shot is charged. Your challenge is to find one example, in this game or any other, where a missed shot and a shooting foul are listed together.
