@DeanBlevins You’re missing the most important angle.

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

How IN THE WORLD is that not a flagrant foul!?!

That’s wildly dangerous.

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@pilgeousx With the exception of a hand check, I see very little contact initiated by Castle..

75% of this video is just sound defense.

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@sharpestsharp_ Cuz it was worse…?

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@HistorianUSA1 One is borderline disqualification. One is never get to participate again.

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@TravisSkol Imagine a flying squirrel flying at you and the internet thinks leaning into harsh contact is a flagrant foul ON you of some sort.

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@GottliebShow He stepped out of the way.. 🤷‍♂️

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@TheTruth8240 KD is petty and immature.

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@NBACARTALK Defense. Which is literally half of the game.

OKC whistle algorithm is miserable today.

Just a reminder, OKC would’ve swept Suns or Warriors, no matter what the whistle was..

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@Jessicaoma_ He.. shot.. the ball.

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@MasterClutch_ The narrative isn’t wrong, and there are far too many examples of flailing arms and flop-esque movements pushing and proving the narrative.

Harden went through this too. Maybe the best player in the league, does not have to mean people must like him.

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@MasterClutch_ I appreciate your passion and attention to detail. Shai is an excellent NBA player and sure fire HOFer.

He can still be the poster child for why the NBA viewership has fallen so hard. We lack a face of the league, so the MVP on the championship team is the next best thing.

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@S_U_Network 4-11 are interchangeable. They were all great at the highest clip for their respective generations. TD and Curry were generational players.

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@_NBAESP_ It’s petty, but funny. Who cares, ball in, game on.

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@Hero_OfThe_Day I’m a busy guy, and sitting down to watch a game is few and far between these days. The flopping and traveling are hard to watch, frankly, across all leagues.

If I’m watching the NBA, it’s to watch one of about 10 polarizing players.

[Matt Akins @snikastyle]

@Betsycashmoney Agreed. He was the fifth pick. Probably the fourth best player and career in the class. At worst, he’s like 6th…

Bad at defense, yes. Perennial all star and great at offense, also yes.

Best player on a championship team, no. But how many are? One player every three years?
