My $.02 - If the color guy didn't spend every one of his freethrow attempt talking about it over and over and over, nobody would give a flying ****, and most of the fans would probably never notice it. This is Fran Fraschilla inadvertantly creating a story while trying to fill dead air during the broadcast.
Which is why it was surprising he started bricking from the FT line last night. I'm hoping it was because it was because he was gassed or something.
