@OkieFBfan Do people honestly need to be told that flops and free throws are different things?

*spurs shoot almost double the amount of FTs than OKC in game 1*
No one bats an eye
*OKC shoots 8 more FTs than spurs in game 2*
“OMG UNETHICAL BASKETBALL!!”
NBA fans are a joke

@wizkidelay Fair play to Shai if he wants to fall over and potentially hurt his wrist every play. But you can’t seriously watch him kick his legs out and fall when no one is around him and talk about landing space.
These are flops.
Refs made no calls on them because they were flops.
English
If people woulda use more than 3 IQ they would understand that he’s doin this after every jump shot cause he doesn’t wanna get hurt. Curry made a living out of that, to not put pressure on your legs when u landing and fall to the ground, cause in the playoffs u don’t know what is under u after u shoot a jump shot, especially if u are a ISO player like SGA. This whole Shai flopping narrative is just lazy and dumb at this point
House of Lowlights@HouseLowlights
Shai flopped on every single shot attempt.
English
@RjDaGoatedOne @SGAisGoated None of these were landing space fouls and refs correctly didn’t blow whistle on the flops.
That’s the whole point of the flop - to try and get that call even when players don’t go in your landing space.
English
@SGAisGoated No one cares about landing space fouls until a player lands on a foot and has to come out of the game

1. Pushed by Harper
2. Foul + Flop
3. Foul + Landing Space Infringed
4. Landing Space Infringed
5. Avoiding Contact
6. Landing Space Infringed
7. Landing Space Infringed
Posted a Highlight clip of 4 missed calls and 2 fouls but Okay. Dumbass.

Shai flopped on every single shot attempt.

@SGAisGoated @RealAzariahWolf As if 7 flops isn’t bad enough? If he flopped 10 times…15 times?
To be fair there’s a couple that were fouls here so it’s a 2/7 foul/flop ratio.
Question - When would you actually step back and say “this is pathetic”?
Or is this just basketball now?
English
@RealAzariahWolf Exactly, just nitpicking. He shot 24 shots in total and these 7 are the only ones they try to use. Just for them to not even make a point.
English
@SGAisGoated Landing space is the new gather step.
Definition - someone invokes landing space where their favourite player flops and they want to pretend it’s a basketball move.
Gather step - a gather step is when someone travels horribly but you want to still like the NBA

@ThunderHusky17 Can you tell me the bit where he gets held? I don’t see it.
English
But we’ll act like OKC got away with too much… look at how the Spurs grab and hold Shai. And this is only the possessions he scored on.
English
@nwaegbojnr Probs because it doesn’t show a single shot of Shai being held by OKC 😂
English
You won't see this go viral

Ado, Nigeria 🇳🇬 English
@praisepierre @SwipaCam He flopped on 12/24 shot attempts that’s not cherry picking.
And it’s every night.
And you can’t cherry pick other players because they don’t do it as often as he does
He had a great game - he just doesn’t need to do this every second shot attempt
English
@IknowBall206 @bballbreakdown if you’re saying because he had a low FT/flop ratio that its not bad then I disagree. Flopping 12 times on 24 shots is pathetic to watch.
I’m just glad the refs have finally stopped blowing the whistle on it like they did all season for him.
English
@Pynchon1 @bballbreakdown Tbh no lmao I was typing fast. You understand the message though.
English
We can see Castle pushes SGA in the back for a legit foul. Was the push enough to force SGA to fall? Probably not. But it doesn't bother me what a player does or where they end up after a legitimate foul.
English
@isaacindica @JDinOKC42 @ianmSC If you look closely you’ll see every clip is actually me videoing my iPad.
He fell on more than half his shots which is pathetic. The refs only called whistles on a couple of them thankfully.
If you think this is normal basketball I can’t help you.
English
@Pynchon1 @JDinOKC42 @ianmSC He shot the ball 24 times yet you’ve shown him only fall 5 times but in “one game” as if he fell the whole game lmao you didn’t watch this game
English
You can not watch the NBA for years, tune in for about 5 minutes of an Oklahoma City Thunder game, and immediately remember why it’s no longer a serious sport
BrickCenter@BrickCenter_
OKC is SHAMELESS Refs called a foul on Harrison Barnes 💀
English
@WuinnsBurner @geola388 The fact you think these are fouls is actually crazy.
Only one of these was called a foul - the flop at midcourt into Castle when he lost control.
English
I see how it goes.
San Antonio Wins:
"Wemby is the GOAT. I can't see how OKC can win"
OKC Wins:
"A bunch of floppers, holders and cheaters"
L vibes on the TL 😂
English
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.
Hater Report@HaterReport
The Thunder must take 30 minutes every practice to just work on flopping and foul baiting 😭 This is INSANE
English
@Pynchon1 @bballbreakdown 30 piece chicken nugget and a W. Only shot 6 freethrows yall just wanna find somethin to cry about. Wemby 7’5 and foul baited is very first shot of both games and yall ain’t say shit. Take the peen out ya mouth
English
I give up defending Shai & OKC . The grifting for clicks pays too good for it to ever stop. What all started from @IcyVert clickbait has turned into a full blown false propaganda campaign by the entire basketball world. It’s so nasty & unfair for Shai man. All he does is hoop & be a family man with 0 off the court issues in any way. I cannot wrap my mind around how hated he has become for simply being a good role model on & off the court. His prime unfortunately arrived with the start of the podcast era
English
It’s crazy what NBA postgame coverage has become. It used to be about game stories and interesting storylines and columns and analysis and coach and player quotes.
Now online postgame coverage is mostly deliberately misleading clips to bait engagement.

@Pynchon1 ...what they want to observe.
I finished it for you.
Of course, you could find 28 secs of Spurs video. If you wanted but I assume thats not the agenda 😂
English
@CAlmanza1007 I’ve seen about 15 clips of different Hartenstein fouling and 2 of Shai. I see lots of people talking about Castle on Shai and very little video. Happy to take a look.
English
How can people watch tonight's game and complain about Hartenstein's physicality yet not say a peep about Castle's defense on SGA?
Everybody loves to see old-school defense being played in the playoffs until OKC does it
Jacob Kniffen@JacobKniffen
I didn’t think Castle was playable this series — but if he’s gonna be allowed to maul and grab Shai like this on every play he should play 48 minutes. This is hilarious.
English
@M___D____M_____ @Jacobtheclipper Thank god because the regular season is abysmal.
English
@Jacobtheclipper According to NBA rules...
There were 3 fouls on this play
I think the problem is the NBA has two sets of rules for the regular and post seasons
That's the issue
