Ok, take a look at his last few games then.

All below his season average. What does that tell you bud?

Utah: 6
Cha: 6
SA: 5
Hou: 4
8 game stretch - 4.75 per game

The last 3 games Anthony Davis is averaging 7.3 personal fouls drawn... exactly his season average.

You are looking at free throw stats. I’m talking about personal fouls drawn.

Even with that, we are 16th in free throw attempts per game and averaged 12 over the last the games. Hilarious you are basing thoughts on an info graphic from ESPN

Points in Paint
2. Pelicans - 51.6
27. Rockets - 41.1

% of Points from Free Throws
2. Rockets - 17.8%
24. Pelicans - 14.7%

Not a good look for you PTM to compare the NBAs premier bigs who will get fouled rebounding and off ball, which obviously doesn’t translate to free throws.

Nice to see you watch ESPN though.

Anthony Davis didn’t have a great game... and he put up 26 and 13. Regardless of the bitching that guy is amazing. When you don’t watch someone every night you forget how good they are sometimes. Anyway sorry to interrupt the complaining.

Hey, let’s be fair. At least Eric Gordon became slightly less of a pussy after joining the Rockets.

He’s a bench player, but at least he manages to actually play.

I’m not. I’m basing my thoughts on stats.

Fouls are fouls regardless of where they occur.

You and others complaining that their players don’t get calls is absolute bullshite, as proven by the numbers.

#1 and #2 in the league at drawing fouls both play for the Pelicans.

That does nothing to explain last night's bullshite.

Why can Harden get away with holding AD under his armpit and cause him to fall without getting a call? That inbounds play was right in front of the ref. And y'all really tried to defend Ian Clark getting his legs taken out as a no call. Pathetic.

Alvin is right. Our guys don't "bitch and complain" like other players so I guess that's why we don't get calls.

No spinning your way out of this one dude. All your post did was regurgitate the ESPN graphic in longer form. Fouls are not all created equal, which is somehow the basis behind your spin.

Now see I know what your first hope was to not look like an idiot. Surely the Rockets shoot better from the line enough to make a decent difference in % of points from the line. Nope. 78.8 to 77. Swing and a miss.

Despite having two of the most physically dominant players in the NBA on their team, the Pels are horrendous at getting charity stripe visits.

Considering how many wins the Rockets have, they often have a lead in crunch time and other teams purposely foul them, adding to their free throw totals.

Teams sometimes “hack a Capela”.

All of the Rockets’ players attack the rim when they aren’t shooting 3’s. It’s their whole offense.

There are a myriad of reasons the Rockets as a team shoot more free throws than the Pelicans.

Assuming those really were fouls, refs miss calls all the time.

I can point to calls they miss against the Rockets all the time. But I don’t dwell on it because they win.

The reason you think the refs have it in for the Pelicans is because when your team is fighting for their lives constantly, you dwell on every little thing as a scapegoat.
