Can’t believe how obvious the refs are in favouring the big market Trailblazers over the small market family run Lakers. It’s always the little guy that gets trodden on amiright guys!?

In FTA or FTA differential? In differential it was the Bucks last season. When most people talk about having a foul advantage, they’re talking about differential. Doesn’t matter how many fouls you get if you give up just as many, which is why FTA total is a bad stat to use

It’s cause LeBron was still insane and we had AD tho the team is totally different now the defense isn’t good because LeBron is just a normal defender just a few years ago he was leading the league in defensive win shares

Blazers are just elite at defending without fouling obviously.

A 41 y/o running an offense headlined by Marcus Smart and Jake LaRavia should be shooting more free throws.

Shit lineups should be committing more fouls though. Skill and the ability to not commit foul is correlated.

Charlie_Wax | Warriors

Their record is wank against the East, though most of those losses were by razor thin margins. They also haven’t played any games against BKN, WAS, CHA, or IND yet. That’s a lot of presumptive wins.

Blazers have had a pretty tough schedule and some significant injuries with zero PGs for most of the season. I actually do think they stack up pretty well with DET and that it would be a tough playoff series.

Charlie_Wax | Warriors

Yea, you caught them twice without Jrue or Scoot, and once without Clingan and Grant. Won by 6 at home and 8 away. I’m not sure beating them by 8 with no Grant, Holiday, Clingan, or Scoot is quite the flex you think it is, especially when the only DNP for Detroit was Sasser.

Drew Timme and Kleber are trying to guard Clingan/Timelord and a hard cutting Jerami Grant. Whistle was a bit generous but not a lot the Lakers can do down low.
