YOU ARE THE WORST COACH EVER MET": BOSTON CELTIC STAR PLAYER DISPARAGING HIS COACH FOR....

Which NBA team has profited most from bad calls made late in games as revealed by data.

Since 2015, the NBA has been issuing last two-minute reports to promote transparency in light of the inevitable officiating errors. This season’s data unveils a notable trend where one team appears to have benefited more than others.

In total, the Nuggets have experienced 17 instances where errors favored them, while encountering only eight cases where decisions went against them. This discrepancy of -9 in errors aligns them with the Atlanta Hawks for the most in the league, with merely nine teams exhibiting a disparity of -4 or higher.

It’s commonly observed that successful teams and prominent players like multiple-time MVP Nikola Jokic tend to receive favorable calls, so it’s not entirely surprising to see the Nuggets topping this list. However, what might raise eyebrows is the presence of certain teams on the opposite end of the spectrum, seemingly missing out on calls that should have gone their way.

The Boston Celtics, who boast the best record in the NBA (59-16), find themselves among the bottom five in this regard. Likewise, the LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers (43-33) share this unfavorable position, challenging a prevailing narrative.

Surpassing both teams in error differential is a rival of theirs, the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite enduring a prolonged absence of reigning MVP Joel Embiid, the 76ers have amassed the most significant error difference in the league, standing at 11.

However, it’s important to note that the data provided lacks essential context, such as whether these errors substantially influenced the outcomes of specific games.

Nevertheless, the fact that the defending NBA champions find themselves at the top of this list, albeit coincidentally, adds an intriguing dimension to the conversation. While the implications for the league or officiating as a whole remain unclear, this data could spark compelling discussions.
