@stanfordkp Have to think FO was hoping this is what Jabari would (and maybe could) turn into. I don’t know if he’ll ever have the strength/lateral quickness, but he has the length in spades.
I'm seeing a lot of this and it's driving me kind of crazy. Someone just scored 83 points in an NBA game! Who cares how it happened? If you could BS your way to 83 someone else would've done it. Nobody's out here saying Bam is better than Kobe. Just let the cool thing happen.
I would like to know how Giannis would respond if someone did this to his team.
If I recall, wasn’t Giannis the one who said “I believe in being humble in victory….thats the way I am”?
If more coaches react the way Chris Finch did to how OKC is officiated, it might force the leagues hand.
OKC is a great defensive team, but their reputation allows them to get away with committing fouls other teams would never get away with.
Not to mention that SGA gets one of the best whistles in the NBA, when he’s barely touched or flopping to get a call.
I think teams would be less frustrated if the game was called evenly. Consistency is key.
