    With this in mind and seeing a lot of games with crazy FT numbers and fouls called - for Shai - for unusual players - Reaves comes to mind. Also FTs are of course easier to influence the score. Then there’s the new TV deal and good scoring numbers, in terms of 40-50 point games and as well as high scores might be exactly what the new partners ordered.

    So how much stock you putting into the refs being instructed to call a lot of fouls, potentially influencing the final score and or make sure guys get high numbers, and it being tied to the new TV deal, Prime & NBC benefting from this as well as gambling being a huge factor here?
