During the Nash suns era they also never fouled. It’s not necessarily some conspiracy. And Celtics have a lower ft/fga rate allowed than LA. That’s where my number was from. Maybe the Lakers commit less non-shooting fouls.
And the roster make up makes sense for LA, they have an elite defensive rim protector and quite unaggressive perimeter defenders. They give up a high amount of jump shots which don’t generally end up in ft’s and also low amounts of rim attempts.
I’m no Laker fan, just think it’s dumb to cry conspiracy.
