Here’s a breakdown of multiple times Phil Jackson complained about the refs and the subsequent results. 7 times it worked, a couple times it didn’t, and a couple times it was inconclusive.

So then if it works sometimes and doesn't work other times, then my question would be did it actually work? It sounds like exactly what would happen if he did not complain, sometimes you get more calls the following game and sometimes you don't or just randomness from game to game.

Sometimes we shoot 12 FTs then the very best game we shoot 28 FTs with no one complaining, just randomness. Another question I'd ask, don't we all, myself included, complain that the Lakers almost always get the calls? So then isn't it skewed to say it worked because the Lakers got the calls the next game, when 1 of our arguments is that they almost always get the calls?

Why did it work sometimes but not others?

And 1 more note, to the other poster flipping out about this, he specifically said it wouldn't happen the very next game, and your link uses the next games results. It was mentioned CJ complaining on the national Windhorst pod and Zion has since shot 3 FTs in 2 games and that poster stated it would take more games, so only specific to that poster, his logic or actual direct words were that the very next game would not see results since it takes time for that word to travel to the refs or some shite, I don't know.


But given the CJ complaining, the Embiid fine, the Shaq fine, your posts where sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't work. Kinda feels like it's all random to me.
