Wild hyperbole? https://x.com/AndrewDBailey/status/1772275077280858370

Being +1017 in FTA differential when the next closest is +358 isn't explained by whatever crap you're selling

I don’t see any probability analysis in that at all. If there is something about a team composition and strategy that leads to a large free throw differential you’d expect that to persist across consecutive seasons. Going back further you see other teams with similar strategies and free throw differentials.

Your link doesn't have any probability analysis either. Just supposition that the raw data isn't valid because it looks similar to a 2 year run the Hornets had.

Is it wildly inconceivable that the refs propped up the Hornets for a couple of years? No. Does the only quantitative evidence presented in this thread suggest the refs are propping up a below average Lakers team? Yeah.

What the fuck are you saying that’s such a huge disparity nothing can explain it.
