The whole 82-0 phenomenon reinforces that whole bit about how the only thing a bunch of dudes need in order to have a good time is to sit around announcing the names of a bunch of old athletes.
I’m sorry all the psyops to make people hate him failed badly. He’s cool as fuck, cares about the game, isn’t an asshole off the court, and does cool mob boss shit like tell his vet bench warmers to hard foul players
He’s 1 of 1 and I couldn’t care less what contrarians say
I love the physicality but the Thunder have gotten away with like 3 flagrant fouls. The Caruso play on Castle, Lu Dort in Champagnie’s landing space, and Jarred Mcain hit Devin Vassell with a legit Judo throw lmfao
Mike Greenberg on SGA:
“Sometimes watching him play is agonizing. It is not fun…. You have to understand that for the rest of us, watching this style of play is not like watching Steph, it’s not like watching Michael Jordan. It’s just not. We’re watching to be entertained.”

Watching the refs miss the out of bounds call off Chet, then Mitch Johnson wave relentlessly in the refs face for a challenge and not give it to him, to then immediately see Shai fall down and get his 20th FTA …
That is the first time in my 15 years of watching the NBA I have legit turned off a big game of this caliber out of unenjoyment. On my way to the gym and don’t give a fuck about the result anymore.
Fix your product now Adam Silver
it’s kind of crazy how there’s like 10 clips of okc getting fouls called on flops tonight while also 10 more clips of hartenstein hooking and fouling wemby with no call.
they wonder why the 29 other fanbases in the league can’t stand this team.
the thunder encapsulate all that is wrong with modern basketball.
how can anyone enjoy watching & rooting for this team?
clearly playing dirty again with holding wemby, & foul baiting too. ridiculous.
Yes they do. They viscerally, deeply realize it.
In fact, since their wages are still the same as when these prices existed, they realize it better than older people.
