Interesting to see Shai(13th with 6.3) & Luka (8th with 7.4) out of the top 5 this year after they were 3rd(10.9) & 4th(10.5) last season

So the Dame free throw merchant narrative is here. Ah well, Milwaukee, the merchant capital

[–] BucksFan654@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s kinda nice having a free throw merchant next to Giannis. Jrue and Khris would combine for like 5 FTAs a game.

Dame is the biggest foul baiter in the league.

A 6ft guard that’s predominantly a shooter averaging almost 10 FTA is disgusting.

Him vs Kyrie yesterday was two opposite ends of the spectrum in ethical hoops.

Now that I watch him every night, I would say it’s wrong to call him primarily a shooter. He drives just as much as he takes long shots.

[–] SonicdaSloth@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He does hunt for the 3 point fouls that the league was supposed to phase out. Jumping into defenders.

Don’t hate him if they call it. Just wish they didn’t call those

The refs are screwing over Shai. In the last game that went to OT he only had 2 free throws the whole night. They gave him a great whistle last season (10.9 free throw attempts per game) and have completely swallowed it this year (6.7 FTA/game), despite him still leading the league in drives and taking more shots than last year. It makes you think about what kind of narratives the league wants to push by giving and taking away free throws from certain players.

Zion has taken 4 shots outside the paint all season and shoots 2 less free throws a game than Dame. And I dont even think his whistle has been that bad this year compared to last season.

Fans of ethical hoop have no choice but to root for Boston in the East.

[–] FinanciallySpiritual@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

nah we rooting for Jimmy, the Celtics father

[–] honestnbafan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If Jimmy shot 20 times a game he'd probably lead this list lol

[–] GenericDarkFriend@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

especially now that you guys no longer have smart lol. I know Celtics fans miss him, but they are way more fun to watch now imo

[–] PhreakOut4@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Boston just does their flopping on defense

[–] Necessary_Initial350@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Giannis FTAs are self-evident…, Dame tho is a master baiter.
