2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Think McFly Think]

Nearly 24 hours later and zero proof i complain about refs every day. Asked them to provide 15 different times in the last 2 months and been almost completely silence since

I don’t post much here but I do read the vast majority of this thread because your guys’ convos are informative and interesting and I will say your supposed complaints are exaggerated and in actuality pretty seldom.

I’ll just leave this here.

Lakers are also among the leaders in percentage of points in the paint

 

[shopson67]

Isn’t it clear what I’m complaining about? I’m complaining about a marginal talent getting star calls over the last week or so.

...while complaining about a lack of calls for Maxey.

Cool. Is the gap consistent with this gap?

 

[shopson67]

We’ve just become numb to it. This likely happens every year. Purple and gold will always get the benefit of the whistle.

Yet it's a known problem that Lebron and AD do not get the respect of the refs. Strange.

I'm not going to do the math.

Was I? I thought I was providing an example of a player I feel confident talking about because I’ve seen everyone of his games this year. I was always providing a more established better basketball player to advance my point of view.

Yet you're inclined to complain about a player's calls that you don't watch...

AkA the gap isn’t even close to the same but I’m not going to provide the evidence that sinks my claim so I’ll just let that shit sit there in the toilet without flushing.

What other team would this apply to though where a guy who is just a guy is getting star calls?

He's not getting star calls. As was pointed out a day or 2 ago, he has become very good at getting defenders off balance and also getting past a guy, stopping to shoot and having a defender run into the back of him. All NBA players who do that get calls,

You'd know this if you watched games rather than looking at stat sheets.

Might as well, since your claim probably wouldn't flush.

Who said I haven’t watched the Lakers?

You did by not having more than one example that was provided by the media.

If I’m a Laker fan after seeing that chart I say one thing, how can we still be so bad with things so obviously rigged? Seriously this is that bad.

 

[shopson67]

Lakers attempt 26.6 FT per game and allow 21.3 FT per game. Top 3 in both categories, but the difference isn't as earth-shattering as that chart would lead you to believe.

Umm the chart is the chart

 

[shopson67]

Umm the chart is the chart

...and the stats are the stats. All teams are between 20.1 and 26.6 in each category.

So what? It simply can’t be defended.

I don’t DVR Lakers games and therefore I’m unable to shoot video on my phone to capture it. It’s just not all that serious. I get it. A Lakers fan is not going to admit the existence of the purple and gold whistle.
