Enough of the crying over okc. Here is almost 3 minutes of the suns flopping, flailing, exaggerating contact and crying to the officials from game 2.
My favorite one is brooks dolphin diving out of bounds after chet blocks his shot at 2 25 mark
By rule, a defensive player must allow a moving player that is receiving a pass, outside of the lower defensive box, an opportunity to avoid contact. The speed of the player will determine the amount of distance an opponent must allow. On this play, Brunson does not give Gilgeous-Alexander an opportunity to avoid contact after receiving a pass outside of the LDB and therefore Brunson is not in a legal guarding position. The referees will then judge if the contact affects the SQBR (Speed, Quickness, Balance, or Rhythm) of Gilgeous-Alexander. If it does, this would be a blocking foul and if it does not then a no call would be appropriate.
William & Mary’s finest. Nineteen seasons, 200 wins, two Super Bowl appearances and a Lombardi trophy at age 36. A gold jacket career by any measure.
Despite coaching thousands of players — you made time for real conversations with all of us. You cared enough to ask about our parents, grandparents, girlfriends, wives, and so many more. Practice squad, or starter, it never mattered to you.
You drafted me, taught me, challenged me, stayed patient with me, celebrated with me, and most importantly, you kept the same positive energy, win or lose, and never blinked. You were the unwavering rock for our team and it was a privilege to call you my head coach for seven seasons.
I will miss our constant banter, your witty one-liners, and the Denzel Washington-like swagger you carried on Sundays.
To the biggest, baddest, most boisterous personality I will likely ever know—Thank you, Mike T.
KD doesn’t buy into the narrative that OKC is more grabby or foul prone than other teams:
“They play with physicality for sure, but that’s what championship organizations do.”
