@Joehawk23@HPbasketball This is the issue. They aren't upset because it's "tough basketball" they're upset because it's not being called evenly. Let them play or don't but don't allow Wemby to shove players and stick his feet in landing zones but then turn around and call Brunson for a lesser offense.
@hottakejose@andrewsharp I'm a Sixers fan btw and can fully admit Embiid's flops and antics are tiresome. It's just weird that Spurs fans want to pretend they aren't getting a GREAT whistle. We can all see it.
@hottakejose@andrewsharp I mean NBA discourse is cooked so it's all whatever anyway but Spurs fans spent an entire round complaining about OKC even though they've certainly had one of the best whistles in the entire playoffs this year. Wemby flops all day but then does bush league stuff like the above.
@andrewsharp Sixers fan here so I'm predisposed to hating the Knicks but a flagrant on Brunson for his close out when Wemby did the same to Hart and got nothing. Also the Wemby shove to Brunson's neck was very bad. The 2nd half free throws disparity. I mean there was A LOT to sideye...
@BenHowardOPT@HPbasketball Yeah what a weird way to phrase that. If Castle was injured I'm sure the Spurs would "cite injuries" as well. The OKC pile on is so silly.
@LisaMikol3369@Wilson__Valdez She absolutely rubber stamps his transformation of the courts which is generationally damaging.
Susan Collins voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh knowing he would repeal Roe and knowing he was credibly accused of sexual assault. She does not get a pass.
@Wilson__Valdez Yeah I'm not defending Platner. That dude sucks.
I'm saying that Collins cosigns fascism at every turn so in practice she's every bit as evil as every other Republican. She does a great Charlie Brown missing the football routine though. "Aww shucks they tricked me again..."
@Wilson__Valdez I HATE how much Platner sucks but let's not call Collins "honest" here. She is forever "surprised and disappointed" every time the party she rubber stamps does heinous shit. It's almost like she likes to appear as "one of the good ones" while she cosigns their fascism.
@bballbreakdown The Spurs are getting a better whistle overall but the narrative is already set in stone. The OKC flop narrative is boring. If Spurs win the series I can't wait to see if everyone keeps this same energy for Brunson. Spurs fans are going to HATE him.
