Richard Jefferson is the most embarrassingly biased announcer I have ever had the displeasure of listening to

Foul baiting

Worst MVP the league has seen.

The NBA can now begin the healing process.

@Kalalautrekker @brutalcams Illegal by whom? This is the argument

@MiyagiTexas This is exactly moment I decided to move on from the NBA for a while.

[Jo @MavsStan41]

They gave Carter Bryant the Lu Dort green light Lmfao not so funny when it’s against your team huh

[coopz @Coopz___]

If the Thunder go back-to-back, I genuinely think a lot of people are going to tune out of the NBA. Nobody wants to watch a team built on favorable whistles, theatrical flopping, and algorithm-driven hype masquerading as basketball purity

[Johnny1thousand @johnny1thousand]

@NBAOfficial NBA is full tilt WWE. Yes it’s real basketball. Yes they are tremendous athletes. Yes is scripted.

[Dustin Taylor ⌚️ @DustinT_NBA]

It’s too consistent with OKC as a unit.

This is something that they’re coached to do.

Any contact you don’t like? Fall.
Make a bad play? Fall.
Defender too close? Fall.
Get boxed out? Fall.
No one touches you? Fall.
Get hit in the chest? Hold your neck and lay on the floor.

ONLY MASON PLUMLEE CAN SAVE THE NBA.

[SpursRΞPORTΞR @SpursReporter]

Here’s a crazy idea several fans have sent me and posted on our Facebook group:

“Put Mason Plumblee in there next to Wemby or Luke.

Dude has experience and lots of NASTY plus he can grab loads of rebounds and run in transition faster than any other big. If he gets a technical or thrown out, oh well.”

My 2 cents on foul-baiting/flopping:

It’s always been perfectly within the rules to do it. But it’s always just been up to players to have the self-respect and integrity to not over-do it.

Like, honestly, a well-timed occasional strategic flop, I can accept.

But when it becomes a hallmark of your whole game, when you’re seeking it out every time or every other time you touch the ball…

That’s when sportsmanship is killed by gamesmanship. That’s when winning becomes completely divorced from ethics. That’s when the game becomes unwatchable.

That’s when the rules have to change.

When players can no longer be trusted to reasonably govern themselves, that’s when official governance has to be increased.

Same thing happens in all aspects of society, when you think about it. And that’s just unfortunate.

Something here has to change.

I’m done with basketball. Between NIL and OKC. It’s just not fun to watch anymore.

[NBA Courtside @NBA__Courtside]

Jay Williams says he can’t root for the Thunder because of all the foul baiting:

“As a fan of the game, I just want to see the game respected. There are times where I watch OKC play, I don’t feel like they respect the process of the game. It’s too much foul baiting. When you fall down 95% of every shot you take in the 4th, I get physiologically exhausted”

[Johnny1thousand @johnny1thousand]

NBA has a huge problem on their hands. This should verge best series in years but OKC and the way these refs call games makes it almost impossible to watch.
