these guys.Rockets analytics team is really on some next level ****. How do you calculate all that? at least we got proof.
Still shouldn't have missed 27 straight 3s though.
"As we told the Rockets, we do not agree with their methodology," Mike Bass, an NBA spokesman, told ESPN on Monday.
Trying to change the narrative on why they didn't go to the finals. You literally couldn't make a 3.
Edit:
The league cited Harden's attempted block as a potential infraction -- a possible foul, but one the league could not say conclusively was a foul even upon review, according to Houston's analysis. Houston concluded that the non-call cost them two points. Had the officials called the foul on Harden, Looney would have gone to the line for two shots. He is a 61 percent career free throw shooter; Houston attached an expected value of one point to a Looney two-shot trip to the line. But the foul was not called, and Durant hit a 3-pointer -- two more points than the Warriors would have been expected to score, under Houston's accounting, had the officials whistled Harden.
These dudes really want it both ways. They're mad a foul WASN'T called on them because the result of a non-call that in the moment favored them, went away from them because KD hit a 3. Good god.
