First play he shows he says SGA is going straight up and falls for no reason, when SGA is deadass not straight up and down and is falling away to his left to create space to get the jumper off
This is shameful what’s happening in this community rn
@SpursReporter@getnickwright@FTFonFS1 The thunder actually play very physical, which is what their FT differential is connected to. It doesn’t add the context that HOW they get THEMSELVES to the FT line is unethical. They play uber physical, which frustrates the opponent, and when it’s reciprocated they flop. 🤮
@JesseCrittenden Outside of OKC blind support, everyone sees it. They take advantage of the way the game is officiated. It forces fans to ask “Who’s reffing tonight?” SGA has the best body control? Then he should almost never fall, among others. The heart and soul of the game is lost viewing OKC.
@tomhaberstroh The problem is not “falling” - it’s constant over exaggeration of contact, followed by immediate attention towards officials, with or without the whistle for him (or his teammates for that matter) - w/equal behavior on D to mirror. Performance should be what shines - Wemby’s does
@elonmusk@JeffBezos People will disagree and hate until they no longer have free next day shipping on Xmas lol - before Amazon that wasn’t even possible
@mari1million@Ballislife OKC apologists are ridiculous. If I was a fan, I can root for them, be happy at having a back to back MVP, and pray for a back to back title run - AND STILL ACKNOWLEDGE the team be on some BS. I would never raise my kid to be a flopper.
@KuKhahil Ausar, similar to a Draymond (who eventually was horrible on offense, it didn’t necessarily start that way) is a guy only appreciated by real hoop fans and home team fans. You hate going against guys like that, so discrediting their value is easy. Him and Cade are untouchable IMO
@KuKhahil What do you think is the clear offseason check list? I think it’s clear they need someone (and it’s no shot at Daniss) who can facilitate and score other than Cade. And Ausar NEEDS to shoot 3’s ALL offseason, even if it means starting from scratch with mechanics.
Brunson - Harden - SGA. It’s clear what the NBA wants, and it’s rewarding it so very clearly. Never thought I’d root for San Antonio, but boy am I ever. DET played like 💩 tonight no question, but it has to be exhausting to play against a team that gets such a consistent whistle.
@Rob_Shenanigans Cavs (minus Donovan Mitchell - #respect) attempt to manipulate the whistle. Hard and soft fouls can be called - refs are human & Detroit understands given their physical play, they’ll probably commit more fouls. It’s the flop BS repeatedly called that puts NBA fans up in arms
@nothing557642@pistons_jack If you have 👀 and no bias (doesn’t mean you can’t have a rooting interest) it’s clear one team is just playing basketball - doesn’t mean fouls aren’t committed - while one team is manipulating and hunting for calls (like this). DM however gets a pass - he just hoops. F*** Harden
@EliteComp2@TeslaaHugeBulge@the_det_times What he could have done was attempt to put the ball in the basket without trying to manipulate officials on EVERY SINGLE POSSESION. Cade was fouled multiple times and doesn’t get the call, however, he didn’t start acting like he didn’t have control of his body and flail.
Wade slippin’ is called THE BALL DONT LIE.
Teams that play straight trying to manipulate refs all fucking game instead of JUST PLAYING BALL are ruining the product. This is the NBA PLAYOFFS!!!!
