Even though Cassell's data says otherwise, I'm with you. I have great recall of Mauer screwing us. Can I name you the instances? No. But this guy is as disruptive to us as Steve Javie but without the attitude.
Maybe the FT differentials weren't great in our Mauer games, but I don't think Cassell's formula takes into account the one-off screw job that can occur in the last minute or two of a game. You can call it even for the first 45 minutes and then still foul out Bogut at the end of the game on a phantom call. The damage is done.
