2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Come on guys. Austin Reaves getting superstar level calls is ridiculous. One game is one thing. But even for a non star like a Jaden Ivey (homer example) who is crazy fast off the dribble he doesn't get that kind of love.

Thus funbags example of Maxey.

There is no question Maxey should be getting fouled more often than Reaves.

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.

Nope.

 

[thunderc]

Nope.

Feel free to elaborate, if you want to look stupid. Some things just are what they are. We are spending a lot of time acting like this is honest competition, it’s not.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Nope.

There's no way allowing 21 a game is top 3. The bottom free throw team is 20 with GS.

I assume top 3 in terms of least not most?

Last 3 games Lakers averaging 36 lol

I read that it’s because Austin Neo Reaves has been able to unlock some Matrix contortionist shit and be able to draw fouls that way. It has nothing to do with the Lakers needing wins to get into the post season.

AD, Schroder, Reaves, Russell and Vanderbilt are all players that attack the basket....and with no Ayton you know that was going to be the gameplan.

 

[DJ Fieri]

It's a full on conspiracy according to these folks....

LOL.

LOL.

No that was the chart. Honestly it says all that needs to be said. It should say “Live With It”. That’s what we are doing.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

To be fair it is exceptionally more interesting in the West with LA going forward. So I don't hate the plan

@thunderc is killing it today.

I actually graduated from St Joes though.

UD owns St. Joes.

Stats prove Lakers get NBA's most favorable foul calls from LeBron James to even Austin Reaves | Sporting News

The Lakers have been getting an extraordinarily good whistle this season relative to their opponents, and the rest of the league is starting to take notice.

Everybody owns St Joe’s these days.

Honestly I’m shocked with this. Shame on me, I normally know what’s what. That chart slaps you up side the head.

 

[fightinfunbags]

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

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Wow.

There were a few actual fouls at least.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Ramming the defender in position with your shoulder is now a defensive foul.

Who knew

I think we just need to respect the greatness.
