@BrickCenter_ How dare shai play basketball and drive to the hoop when he sees a wide open lane! You're beyond parody. Generational hatred. Just enjoy good basketball. Is that too much to ask?

SGA stat padding vs the Wizards, bro wants that MVP 😭
English
@TheJobIsDone Thanks for clarifying. I disagree you saying it's bad for the game. People, like my dad and other old-heads, were complaining about the game not being "physical enough" and all teams do is jack up 3s during the mid to late-2010s. OKC is delivering a more physical basketball
English
When is parade?@TheJobIsDone
@UnusualCub_ I def don't think it's that at all though. I think it's just that Daigneault, an excellent coach who knows the game, crafted a strategy through which his young and extremely talented team can exploit existing officiating loopholes. I think it sucks for the game though.

Fascinating comments saying "why are you blaming Dort; blame the refs"
That argument basically gives the game away: that OKC’s whole defensive identity is built on pushing illegal contact past the enforcement limit. One reason why so many fans dislike them.
Niko@nikotaughtyou
This clip was egregious lol But realistically a foul should’ve been called as soon as two hands went on the offensive player
English
@MorganW77528331 Wrong and wrong. Does not claim a bias towards OKC. And what it references is not relative to opponent performance.
English
@WaterJugPapi @NugsGetBuckets @BrickCenter_ It means Dort let the clock wind down before committing the intentional foul so Boston would have as little time as possible to get a shot off.
English
@MorganW77528331 @NugsGetBuckets @BrickCenter_ What does that mean? The Ref didn’t call a foul until Dort swiped at PPs back when he got passed him
English
@BrickCenter_ Dort got called for the foul on this play. OKC had 1 more foul to give in the half, and Dort purposefully fouled him. But it was called. So please stop presenting it like they didn't.
English
@NugsGetBuckets @BrickCenter_ Dort got called for the foul on this play. OKC had 1 more foul to give in the half, and Dort purposefully fouled him. But it was called, so this is rage-bait that you are falling for
English
@BrickCenter_ Nobody else in the league gets away with this
English
@goldenspirit155 They didnt try to injure him once. Ya boy just afraid of physical basketball.
English
Mfers are mad Wemby didn’t handshake OKC after the game lol they aren’t friends and OKC tried injuring him numerous times. Get over it.
English
@SpursCulture Because the world's biggest feet are half a centimeter from his balls, and squeezing your legs is an impulse reaction to protect your sack.
English
@RealTomPetrini I saw him try to protect his balls with those size 25s half a centimeter from his sack
English
Y’all saw SGA squeeze his legs and trip Wemby right
English
There are real Thunder fans who will tell you that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander doesn’t get a good whistle 😂
English
@run_bull_ The free throw disparity was 7 to 24. What are you even talking about bro? Refs clearly arent favoring him. This clip is just undisciplined defense and it got called.
English
OKC and SGA fan club have completely lost the PR battle.
No coming back from this. Harden hasn’t even years later
NBACentel@TheNBACentel
Spurs fans chanting “FLOPPER” at SGA 💀
English
@bballbreakdown "I dont like the way he falls" is a personal opinion, but is not a particularly strong argument
English
Almost every complaint I'd see was some version of:
"SGA is constantly foul baiting"
After it's pointed out that the volume of fouls drawn is not that high, the focus reverts to the way he draws fouls
Ēli Yiphthaḥ ʾĒl@TheEliad
@bballbreakdown Newsflash: the issue was always how he draws fouls, never ever was it the number of foul attempts PER GAME at any point in time.
English
@Will_d_jones "The way Shai falls is bad" is a very weak argument.
English
This is great example of a foul but also a flop. Shai did not need to fall there. He reacts so late. The way he falls doesn’t match up with the push at all. His knees buckle for no reason other than he’s flopping
Fullcourtpass@Fullcourtpass
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to Anthony Edwards after he fouled him “Come on, come on” (h/t @NBA__Courtside)
English
@NugsGetBuckets He pretty clearly got pushed in the back here, brother.
English
If you breathe around SGA it’s a foul every time
English
@whatsontapnba "The way Shai falls is bad" is a very weak argument
English
I’ll say this before Thunder fans misunderstand and get mad. Shai receives criticism for HOW he gets to the line (flopping extraordinaire), not because of his actual free throw numbers. Thank you
English
@bballbreakdown @coach_paint Can you break down what Minnesota HC Chris Finch was so mad about that he was willing to get ejected over it?
English
There was a lot of strange strategy going on down the stretch of the Kings vs Blazers game that led to the wild ending. Here's an example with the help of @coach_paint You're gonna want to watch the whole video, link below 👇
English
@Hero_OfThe_Day Every player knows that you need to catch the ball if you bounce it in frustration like that. Its not new. Its a rule at every level. Players get T'd up for this anytime they do it.
English
WATCH this garbage!! You’ve gotta be kidding me!!
Luka Doncic got a technical foul for BOUNCING THE BALL 😂😂
This is why so many people have stopped watching the NBA 🗣️🗣️
English
@PerSources Shai has scored 90 points the last 3 games combined...on 11 combined free throw attempts.
English
When your peers say this about you, I dont wanna hear OKC fans telling me its not true
BrickCenter@BrickCenter_
Jaylen Brown says SGA is a flopper and a foul baiter 😭
English
@KingPillXVII @itsjwills Yeah dude, this is SGAs shooting form. Its kinda funky, but its not like we haven't seen it before. Lots of guys in NBA history kick their feet out like this: Reggie miller, ray allen, Kawhii, and Kobe are the first names that come to mind. Defenders gotta respect the space.
English
@MorganW77528331 @itsjwills Intentionally landing on his feet and potentially destroying your ankle is trying to fall safely? Harper does a good job closing out here but shai decides to kick his feet out recklessly. If you play ball you know that you don’t land that far out on a shot even if you’re fading
English
This should have been a flagrant….on Shai. Nothing about that landing is natural. We need to start penalizing players for trying to play the refs instead of basketball.
