But the more you drive the more likely you are to get fouled. There are some weird cases with it tho I will give you that like Brunson being top 10 in drives but being outside of the top 20 in FTA & Luka being outside of the top 10 in drives but top of the league in FTA

Play types. Off ball screens have lower free throw rates than PnR roll ma possessions, putbacks, post ups etc.

KrypteK1 | Heat

1 | 26 minutes ago

Rim attempts mostly. Paint touches correlate lightly, because a soft jump hook is not likely to be fouled compared to a dunk attempt.

The reason drives don’t correlate at all is they aren’t created equally, nor do they finish equally. A Tyler Herro drive and Anthony Edwards drive are not at all the same, just like a LeBron drive and Shai drive. Kickouts, stepbacks, floaters, etc. all can result from ‘driving’.

Rezrov_ | Raptors

1 | 29 minutes ago

Rim finishing/paint scoring is probably a stronger indicator that a player gets fouled that drives. Drives are defined as getting past your defender in the halfcourt, off the dribble, towards the basket. They can still end up jump-shooting (e.g. cross +1 dribble pullup).

Looking at the NBA’s definition it doesn’t even seem like you even really need to be a scoring threat. Jamal Shead (or Dennis Schroeder or any number of guards) begin their offence by beating their defender off the dribble and then facilitating from there. Just because they’re drivers doesn’t mean they get fouled a ton.

Chickachic-aaaaahhh | Thunder

Carolake1 | Lakers

Drives are just a measure of whether someone is a guard or not. They have to start 20 feet away from the rim, and fast breaks aren’t included. This is partially why Lebron, who led the league in transition scoring, does not show that many drives. He gets out on the break, gets fouled, but that doesn’t count as a drive. And guys like Embiid basically never drive, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t inside getting contact.

Chickachic-aaaaahhh | Thunder

-1 | an hour ago

Not completely accurate. They have to touch the ball 20 feet from the hoop and dribble within 10 feet of it. But yeah fastbreaks arent included which sga would get a big bump on because he participates alot in fastbreak scoring. Youre less likely to be fouled if you arent moving towards the basket which is why drives apply heavily towards free throws. A player motioning towards the basket is the easiest way to get a foul vs just putting up a shot. Yes anyone that isnt a guard is likely to have a low drive count but theres very few other statistics that could correlate to actually drawing fouls.

Rezrov_ | Raptors

1 | 27 minutes ago

Almost all guards initiate off drives, and most of them aren’t prolific FT attempters.

Chickachic-aaaaahhh | Thunder

1 | 13 minutes ago

Because most of them are either perimeter scorers or driving based. Shooting guards/ point guard that both drive and shoot great are rarer. Good ones like sga end up shining like Kobe and other legends though.

Suns in the playoffs are middle of the pack in drives per game at 46, and have shot 5 free throws/game off of drive attempts (0.11 FTA/drive). (Ironically more drives than both the Pistons and Nuggets)

OKC has 51 drives per game and have shot 11 free throws/game on drive attempts (0.22). So OKC has twice as many free throws per drive.

In other words, driving volume is not why there’s a free throw discrepancy.

I specifically stated that I don’t think the reffing is being biased, but was complaining about the fox thread that has a very notable amount of claims that it’s biased in favor of the blazers, which it isn’t by any measure.

Teams also drove less against DC, not close to the amount that wemby deters, but still a good bit, and Deni has over 20 drives a game in the post season.

Reffing for our series is bad, but not biased. The reffing for the OKC game 2 was biased as fuck, though.

You can drive 50 times a game and get 0 free throws, because a drive doesn’t mean anything except putting pressure on the defense. It doesn’t mean you took a shot at the rim, it doesn’t mean you even took a shot. Drives don’t correlate to free throws at all because of this. Shai is amazing at creating contact and selling it, that’s why he gets a lot of free throws.

Then that tech on booker last night for saving the ball off an opponent. That’s a normal basketball play. Just some really awful calls that game too.

You have to also include percentage of shots closer to basket or whatever the word or phrase is

You know these guys don’t care about facts and can’t read. Let’s talk about body language instead.

You’d never know it hearing how much the Spurs fans bitch about the refs in our game threads.

This post doesn’t fit the OKC narrative that many of us, myself included, have bought into.

The only game that was truly terribly officiated so far is Nuggets TWolves game 2, especially in the first half. The other games just have moments of questionable calls like every NBA game ever

The fact that we’re probably gonna have a free throw ladder for the playoffs is crazy. Might have an officiating problem

The smothering way that the Celtics play defense, it’s quite impressive that they have given up only 34FTA.

I’m just so tired of the discourse every single year turning into refball. Tired of the conversation, tired of hearing about them, you know they aren’t doing their job correctly when you are talking about them.

Honestly the refs could call every game perfectly and the fans of the team that doesn’t get a call they like would still complain. It’s easier than actually faulting your team.

I don’t watch much nba these days, but I love that I know if I see any post about OKC not taking the most free throws it will be from an okc fan.

Incoming Thunder fans that will feel vindicated by these numbers and pretend like their team doesn’t have the most unwatchable, shameless, flopping group of players in the nba.

my point is that guys like Jokic/Luka/Deni foul bait and flop just as bad as Shai but don’t even get half the hate/posts
