Re: NBA Playoff InGame Thread for Saturday
I do disagree with you. Show me the proof that the road team gets called for more fouls. You provided one data point. If you know anything about data analysis, one data point does not prove anything! So if you're going to make idiotic statements and correlations between HCA and fouls, please prove me wrong.
Sorry, I was not real clear. I made 2 suggestions; I don't watch many NBA games but after watching the refs call the vast majority of the fouls against the road team, my first suggestion (and that suggestion was made in the form of a question) was that maybe the home court advantage was related to that.
My second suggestion, which is what I asked you if you agreed with or not, was based on viewing the Wizards-Cavs game today. I watched it and I suggested that the vast majority of the questionable calls went against the Wizards...that is the suggestion I meant when I asked you if you agreed with or not.
Of course I agree with you that one game(one data point) does not make a trend. There are approx 1300 games in an NBA season, but I bet the data is available on how many fouls are called against both the home and the road team. I certainly don't have this data but I still wonder if it has anything to do with the HCA?
