    I look at this table of data and all I can see is the SGA effect. 💀

    Also, South Sudan shot 91% from FT? That’s actually crazy even if the sample size is smaller (they shot 30-33).

  2. atltimefirst

    That’s kind of misleading since they scored so many points. That said, they were not getting benefit of the doubt on calls

  3. Rapa_Nui

    Lakers tax following LeBeon in AD all the way to France!

  4. ChiRaider

    Shai on team Canada so we not surprised

  5. ScrewedUp4Life

    Corrupt anti-American refs didn’t want to call fouls.

  6. bravof1ve

    And we still had the president of Serbia bitching about refs on Twitter 😂

  7. cyb3ryung

    it’s the perimeter oriented style plus the refs weren’t calling flops like that

  8. Slow-Raccoon-9832

    Basically 25% of Canada’s points from the ft line lol

    That’s shai foul baiting for you. It’s terrible to watch

  9. Try-Imaginary

    Huh. Both french speaking countries at top of the list? Le shoqueue!

  10. binhpac

    I mean you can read any stats how you like, but if you watch some games, those blowouts, there are less fouls and fts i assume.

    for “good stats” maybe just compare close games, where it matters.

    Ethical buckets. Play the game the right way. Unlike those canadians.

    It’s the Curry effect. We took a lot more threes than mid range shots. It was either threes or dunks/layups/inside shots.

  13. e_double

    Reason why Shai is a cure to insomnia, absolute boring ass player to watch.

  14. A few of the earlier games the reffing seemed fine, but Serbia got away with a ton 3/4 of the game and France definitely got all the 50/50 calls.

  15. tingkagol

    Tbf, USA’s denominator is the biggest. The only team above 100 PPG

  16. x_TDeck_x

    Honestly I would have figured the USA would draw a fair amount more FTs with people like AD/Embiid/Lebron. A bit surprised they’re just middle of the pack

  17. Holiday-Patient5929

    Man south Sudan had the stuff of movies, why’d they get grouped with serbia and the US ?

  18. madvisuals

    I’ve been watching the LeBron and AD duo for 4 years now so I’m not surprised lol

  19. Sudden-Summer7021

    This can be due Kerr’s coaching style.

  21. ntrubilla

    Yes, yes… Let the SGA hate flow through r/nba

  22. defiantcross

    Look how ethical the team got just from having KD and Book, two ethical bucket getters

  23. Chinbie

    almost 20 FTM for Canada, Lakers now have a worthy opponent 😂😂😂😂

  24. Draycon11

    Ok, the Canada number is kinda wild…

  25. Devoidoxatom

    Cos its Kerr’s team. Lots of screens, offball movement, cuts

  26. almavid

    Can’t wait for the villain arc for SGA

  27. TheWonderfulLife

    SGA is so overrated. Fuckin free throw merchant.
