Embiid gets 3.4 FTs a game on 8.6 drives a game.

SGA gets 3.0 FTs a game on 21 drives a game.

Weird how SGA's game is the exact same as last year, yet his foul calls plummeted

[–] tr1vve@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Deservedly so when he pushes off every drive

Same with Luka

[–] egirldestroyer69@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Its because they normally try to make the shot instead of pure theatrics

[–] GotKarprar@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nah Luka definitely foul baits he just isn’t getting it called anymore this year. Although idk if it’s rly baiting since he’s getting hacked everytime he drives

[–] Sorry-Mushroom-8800@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

embiid made the most shots in the nba last year

[–] Angelic_Phoenix@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Refs obviously trained their "anti-flop" measures on some of the big offenders from last year. Its obvious if you watched him last year vs now that the same exact drives that make contact are now no-calls

[–] TdotSkunt@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Same with Pascal. the league is a fucking joke

Dude could average 35 a night on high efficiency with the middy/drive game. In this day and age that’s wild to see. SGA averages more drives per game than anyone in the last 10+ years by far

Ja Morant...

There’s less people packed in the paint to foul him when playing OKC because their perimeter shooters have improved

[–] bkbeam@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

More like he forgot to compliment the refs this year

[–] HippiesBeGoneInc@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Most impolite Canadian.

[–] VoidMageZero@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Maybe it's because of that house issue. Dude is stressed at home. 💀

[–] IzaacLUXMRKT@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He's getting fouled on almost every drive, they just straight up aren't calling them

[–] Sorry-Mushroom-8800@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

now you understand why embiid sells contact as much as he does

[–] jocro@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It def is a little of that, but he's also night to night just not getting the same whistle. Is what it is, and should even out a bit over the season.
