It is unbelievable to me that this wasn’t a red card + penalty kick
Balogun was completely obstructed here and still hit the crossbar
He earned two PKs that weren’t called
This didn’t get VAR but an irrelevant midfield tangle led to a red card
Unreal
Draymond on SGA's Foul-Baiting And Flopping
“Shai, you've reached a new level of greatness my man... you got sports media coming out and talking about what they don't like about your greatness, as if Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is running up and down the court with the whistle in his mouth calling a foul for himself... you all think the NBA is that easy to where this guy just flops and goes to the free throw line and he becomes the back to back MVP? We really gonna dumb the NBA down to that?”

Yep! We aren’t going to win over non Thunder fans so let’s just block it all out and enjoy the Thunder. We know we have great guys. We shouldn’t need outside validation.
What other direction does "hard fouls" go other than the purpose of making sure OKC players get injured?
It's garbage time and you lost, this holds no strategic element other than hoping that a player gets injured.
It can't be more explicit.
