Since Anthony Davis' last game as a Laker, the Lakers have had a -13 free throw disparity
Can we please put this dumb narrative to bed. The Lakers disparity was directly impacted by their inability to shoot 3s, their statues on the perimeter, and AD being otherworldly at contesting at the rim without fouling.
Now, the Lakers are a team that shoots a lot more threes, has hyper physical wing defenders active, and can't rely on an AD type rim protector.
Scheme was always the explanation, not some dumb conspiracy
