Such an obvious bad call. The Lakers must have challenged it, right? Right?
Hmmm… wonder why they didn’t…

LeBron touches SGA and he just IMMEDIATELY falls down 😂

Reaves has shot more FTs than anyone in the entire series.
LakeShowYo@LakeShowYo
Austin REAVES after the refs overturned the call and took away his 3 free throws He knows the OKC whistle is just too good 😭
English
The Lakers shot 15 more FTs than OKC last night. Lost by 23. But, sure, because of this clip you knew it was over. 😂
LakeShowYo@LakeShowYo
I knew the game was over when I saw this This has ALWAYS been a shooting foul. But not for LeBron… Not against OKC.

Austin Reaves led the game in Free Throw attempts. 😂
Legion Hoops@LegionHoops
Austin Reaves and the Lakers just had a meeting with the refs after the game to share their frustration with them.

@JonesOnTheNBA Agreed they’ll have to make choices. Just not sure how significant. They for sure have to make a choice at the draft, assuming they keep the lottery pick. They’ll also have a choice with Dort this offseason as well. Will be interesting to see how it shakes out.
English
@AndrewDoutey I believe they are $25 million into second apron if they bring this team back before they account for this years first round pick. And the following year, Shai’s salary jumps from $40 million per to $60 million per. They’ll have to make choices.
English
People that hate the Thunder should love the 2nd apron lol. It’s coming for them too
English
Why is this a big deal?
Show me other schools that are fine with their ADs not increasing revenue and not balancing the budget…
Seems like pretty standard expectations for an AD at a P4 school..
Eric Bailey@EricBaileyTW
Chad Weiberg must keep a balanced budget, increase revenue annually — or face termination. The Tulsa World obtained Weiberg's new AD contract via an open records request. There is specific language with fiscal challenges that must be met. #OkState tulsaworld.com/sports/college…

Wemby had the same amount of FT attempts as he did FG attempts vs the Nuggets. 17 FGA & 17FTA.
Where is all the outrage?

They get away with it? And you shot the most free throw attempts in a game for your career?
Make it make sense . . .
Riley ❄️@rileysbetter
Jaylen Brown on last night’s game vs OKC “I shot 14 fts, that’s probably the most I’ve shot in my career, and honestly I probably should’ve shot even more. They play some of the most physical defense in the league and get away with it a lot”
English
Fouls:
Boston 18
OKC 18
Free Throws Attempted:
Boston 20
OKC 18
Jaylen Brown 14
SGA 7
What are we talking about…

Jaylen Brown: “We commend players for playing the game the right way, but we give the benefit to those who necessarily are trying to manipulate the game into their advantage. I just don't think it's basketball. Let's just play basketball.” espn.com/nba/story/_/id…
English
The Thunder shot 1 more FT than the Pels. So, this is obviously a reasonable take that should be taken very seriously. 😂
Chrissy@SportsChrissy
What happened at the end of the OKC/Pelicans game last night is a result of the referees letting OKC get away with everything, protecting SGA from getting more fouls, and not blowing the whistle when Zion, Yves, etc. got hammered in the paint. That led Saddiq Bey to be completely frustrated with a little over a minute to go (a guy who never loses his cool), and then entitled Lu Dort to think he had the right to shove and then grab rookie Jeremiah Fears by the jersey. Something needs to be done about the inconsistency in the NBA by the refs.
English
Everyone gets mad at the offensive player. But this is undeniably bad defense. Stay disciplined and this isn’t even an option for the offensive player..
Sports Season@SportsSeason_
This is objectively terrible basketball.
English
Foul baiting?
This is taking advantage of undisciplined defense.
BrickCenter@BrickCenter_
foul baiting is getting out of hand 😭
English
Oh no. We are losing players from a 1-11 team. This is very dire. How will we recover?

But… but.. but… SGA and the Thunder are ruining basketball
Andy Bailey@AndrewDBailey
Free-throw attempt differential over the last five seasons: 1. Lakers (+1,460) 2. Bucks (+699) 3. Knicks (+698) I swear that Lakers number is real. And it includes the playoffs, so they’ve played fewer games than the Bucks and Knicks.
English
4 FT attempts last night. 4.
All this fuss about someone attempting 4 FTs in 30+ minutes. Wild.
Ryan Rueda@PlayoffDude
You honestly can’t defend SGA. If he creates space, it’s a no-call. If you actually play solid defense, they whistle a foul. And if you contest and he kicks his legs out, that’s two free throws every time. It’s ridiculous.
English
SGA:
36 Minutes
4 FT attempts
Wemby:
20 Minutes
12 FT attempts
When narrative surpasses reality🤷♂️
Ben Golliver@BenGolliver
Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama after upsetting the Thunder in the NBA Cup semifinals: “I’m just glad to be part of something that’s growing to be so beautiful — pure and ethical basketball.”
English
He shot 4 FTs last night…. 4. 😂
Of all games to push this narrative you pick this one 😂
John@iam_johnw
You literally can’t guard sga . If he pushes off you it’s a no call if you play defense it’s a foul and if you contest a shot and he kicks his legs out it’s 2 shots lmao
English
Signing 3 young star players to long term contracts after winning a title = title window closed. Got it.
NBA twitter literally hates hoops.
Everyone trying to be a “smart guy”, so they turn everything into a negative.
Frank Michael Smith@frankmikesmith
OKC spending $822 million to lock up SGA, Chet and Jalen means their title window is almost closed To keep this team together beyond next season, OKC's ownership (which is one of the poorest in pro sports) will have to set the record for highest NBA luxury tax ever paid
