So what would you anticipate as a reasonable estimate of FTAs per game per team in the Finals? I'm actually thinking the average will be pretty high, around 55-60 between them, on a total of 194 or so. Something like 35-22 in favour of the Heat wouldn't surprise me.
You're saying the phantom fouls won't happen in the Finals, but they're fair game before then?
