    But see thats my point. we seem to run a bit more than other teams but are drastically losing the foul calls. After a while a trend would arise and the biaseness would rear its head.

    Meh. This is soft talk. Dame has a Jordan mentality. Jordan missed games when he was hurt (very rarely). Go out, back to back or not, and win the game. Fuck the Clips.

    I would think we would be considered a running team over a half court team? We certainly aren't Utah. lol. Id say we are probably one of those combo teams, Not a true runner ,but not a half court team either. The athleticism on this team says we should be running alot though I think.

    We play at a fast pace, but our idea of a fast break is pushing the ball up the court and finding the open shooter for an uncontested 3-pointer.

    Teams who aggressively attack the basket will always draw more contact and get more whistles. Dame is getting to the FT line much more this season, because he is attacking the basket much more, but the rest of our team is a bunch of jump shooters. So, we still suffer a free throw disparity, but its more about style of play than anything else.

    You want to see something cool that explains all this? Compare our FT disparity to our 3FG disparity. They basically cancel each other out. We shoot a lot more 3FGs than our opponents and therefor, shoot a comparable number of fewer FTs.

    3FGA:
    POR = 236
    Opponents = 193
    Difference = +43

    FTA:
    POR = 198
    Opponents = 239
    Difference = -41

    They are almost a mirror image of each other.

    Want to shoot more FTs? Shoot fewer 3FGs and attack the basket more. Simple as that.

    We could always just put harkless on Blake, it's not like he's much different than aminu. Layman can guard mbah moute or however you spell it.

    Actually, Dame will be guarding Mbah Moute. Or he has been in the past.
