Looking for any advantage over the Thunder in Game 4 of their first-round series on Sunday, the Houston Rockets repeatedly intentionally fouled Andre Roberson in the fourth quarter. Roberson shot a dismal 42.3 percent from the free-throw line during the regular season and he had missed all five of his free-throws in the first first three games of the series.

Roberson went 2-of-8 from the line during the Rockets' intentional fouling stretch and his only two makes, were cheered loudly by Thunder fans:

Yet while the Thunder fans were happy to see Roberson make his free-throws, NBA fans everywhere else were angry with the quality of play with the game all of sudden becoming stilted thanks to the Hack-A-Shaq strategy by the Rockets:

Fans have the right to complain but the Rockets weren't doing anything wrong by intentionally fouling Roberson. Houston was just using the rules to their advantage and until the NBA makes some changes, the strategy of intentional fouling will continued to be used.
