"You can't be better in a loss than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was on Saturday night [in Game 7]. Can't play better, can't be a better example, can't lead better... Shai acted like a grown a*s man before during and after."

Watching OKC vs Spurs game 7 made me realize one thing:
I’ve seen Wemby try to flop for more contact than I’ve seen the entire OKC team.
But we don’t usually hear about do we? 🤔
Chuck used to be the guy who played dumb on tv to make that show entertaining and NBA has actually gotten so dumb that he needs to be the voice of reason lol
“You people at home and TV talking about they were physical with Wemby, man y’all need to stop it. I’ve been kissed harder…For you people thinking that’s physicality, y’all need to shut the hell up.”
— Charles Barkley. 🤣💀

Now NBC is crying that Hartenstein is playing too rough with poor Alien ... while the Spurs get away with playing football on SGA. Nobody outside OKC wants the Thunder to do anything but GO AWAY AND LEAVE THE NBA ALONE.
Austin Reaves has arguably been the worst flopper in the Lakers vs Thunder series.
He’s made himself look pretty silly and unserious with these antics, while laughably lecturing the refs at center court after Game 2.
Stop the acting. Play ball.
Scottie Barnes defended Shai Gilgeous-Alexander against foul baiting criticism 👀
“Shai don’t really foul bait. He’s aggressive going to the basket so they call fouls for him. There’s no reason to hate on his game.”
