    Game 1 - Utah 63.2% Rockets 62.1%

    Game 2 - Utah 71.4% Rockets 61.5%

    Game 3 - Utah 60.6% Rockets 72.7%

    Game 4 - Utah 77.4% Rockets 68.0%

    Game 5 - Utah 56.5 % Rockets 78.9%

    Game 6 and Game 7 - ? Better practice those free throws.

    (btw, utterly surprised at how poor of an FT shooting team Utah is also..)

    wow, this is a good stat.

    how about breaking it down even further and lets analyze the number of free throws attemped per game?

    Yeah, Yao deserves a lot of credit for the Rockets wins.

    He's obviously the catalyst for their victories.

    They couldn't have done it without him.

    Jazz could shoot 100% today and still get blown out.

    Who knows. But for some reason, FT% has been an eeriely good indicator for this series. In other series I've checked FT% hasn't been this good of an indicator for who wins or loses.

    FT% doesn't meant much by itself.

    obvious factor just from observing, Rafer Alson.

    game 1, 2, weren't even competitive.

    game 3, 4, 5, 2/3 wins.

    this is coming from a statistician. :D

    T-Mac didn't get to the line too much. That drives our percentage up a bit.

    As they like to say, free throws win championships.

    as of right now -

    Game 6 - Utah 83.3% Houston 69.2%

    enough said.

    Also ,Utah already reached 95 points. We had to keep their points down, but our defense sucked ass tonight.

    It's been a good season though. And when T-mac did his best 13 in 35 reenactment, we gave a run for their money.
