I had to put this all in one video to make it even clearer — The NBA has an OKC Thunder problem.
The fans know it, broadcasters know it. THEY know they’re favored. When EVERYONE complains about ONE team, it’s serious. It’s not just SGA, he’s just the head of the snake.
I’m not a “blame the refs” type, never have been. I actually hate when players focus too much on that. But this just makes for an unbearable product.
The Thunder are EXTREMELY good. They don’t need extra help. They don’t need to be rewarded for their antics. A lot of it is an affront to the game. The physicality they play with needs to be allowed both ways or not at all.
This is all from one game, but it’s every night against them. It looks and feels blatant. This isn’t basketball. The NBA needs to fix this.
