@HoopsReceipts@ZachNBA_@BreakingKevin Was mainly speaking on the discourse from okc centered accounts. Was a twitter observation about twitter but didn't weird it that way lmao
@MattSandersNBA Feels worth noting this. What people hate is the flopping. One teams drawn foul calls are mainly in the painted area. One team's is not. It's not the amount. It's watching plays where the only goal is to draw a foul, not score, not play defense, game the official. It's ugly bball
@priceacarter Sadly, as a spurs and chiefs fan (KCMO family raised in SA) it’s exactly the same. Finding little edges within the rules and taking full advantage of it. I think it’s exactly like the NFL, the officials are going to miss (sometimes egregiously) and vets know how to exploit it.
@killianhayes77@DalkeKong3@LaffyTaffy0112 It’s a compliment. It feels rigged to the average fan but it’s just an elite team knowing the situation, knowing the official, and using that knowledge to get an extra edge. Yes they’re “flopping” but it’s when the spurs put themselves in bad spots. Can’t criticize gamesmanship
@killianhayes77@DalkeKong3@LaffyTaffy0112 This is what harden started and has snow balled to here. brons been flopping for 20yrs lmao. it’s not rigged, it’s bad officiating and okc is by far the best at taking advantage of it (and that’s what vets do). The casual fan sees it as rigged, but it’s just smart
@DaigMuse It was. The spurs had no business winning the game but those calls at the end of the third slammed the door. Props to OKC because they are great at winning and sadly taking advantage of bad officiating is part of that.
@DalkeKong3@LaffyTaffy0112 They don’t do it every play, they do it in the perfect moment or when they need momentum. And like clockwork, the questionable call/flop happens. End a run, steal a possession, etc. They are elite at fooling officials. That’s what pisses everyone off
@DalkeKong3@LaffyTaffy0112 Nope. Cuz they are a good team with talent, they can win without it but have learned to take the extra edge, and even over rely on it at times. It’s not unethical it’s a good team taking advantage of blind old men lmao
