Another regurgitated false narrative is OKC & San Antonio were built similarly through tanking.
OKC missed the playoffs 3 years:
#6 Giddey (traded for Caruso)
#2 Holmgren
#12➡️#10 Wallace (play-in)
Spurs missed the playoffs 6 years:
#11 Vassell
#12 Primo (play-in)
#9 Sochan (play-in)
#1 Wemby
#4 Castle
#2 Harper
@BallOnceLied@tomhaberstroh@HPbasketball@YahooSports Make-up calls play a roll. Refs are influenced by the miss call and the chirping. Happens in every team sport.
Knicks/cavs: refs missed egregious And 1 dunk for Anunoby. Called ticky tack next time.
By end of game, calls will balance out, unless it’s Scott Foster…
@tomhaberstroh Outlier stat? Opponents should be capitalizing on the advantage playing 5 on 4 on the other end. SGA not getting to the free throw line more than others in the playoffs and his falling to the ground is defensive disadvantage.
What’s the issue here?
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.
NBA league pass might be the worst media package available. Every time I’ve tried to watch @okcthunder they are “unavailable” on @NBATV. For league worried about declined in media ratings, they might bear the blame for not making games available to teams fans.
