@jay02611 @mitchrobFC23 @oliveyakim @NBAMemes Everyone single player does it that’s my point and also that’s not foul baiting

SGA tries to foulbait Baylor Scheierman twice and fails both times. Ethical hoops?

@apey59 @15_RNG @NBAMemes Unmatched delusion.

@15_RNG @NBAMemes This happened in every nba, college, high school, pickup game.This is how I know yall only watch the sport and not play it.Since the beginning of time players have been using advantages that’s not foul baiting. Foul baiting is flopping and putting your body in unnatural positions

@John_Zannis Get @royceyoung in here though. He will explain why it is actually a smart and skillful basketball play.

This is what people mean when say “unethical” hoops. This is simply not Basketball. Try to stick your arm underneath someone else’s to make it look like you got hooked. No real effort to try and get by them. Call it crafty if you want, I say it’s lazy.

@royceyoung The densest mfer in this stupid website.

So here’s my question: Why was Ajay Mitchell tossed for “escalating” after he got pushed in the face, but Nikola Jokic wasn’t after he reacted to Lu Dort’s trip? Instead, Jokic was deemed to be justified for his reaction. Why didn’t Ajay get the same line of thinking?

@royceyoung @BSolomonsHood @Marc_DAmico This is a shot that has a chance to go in. The problem people have is with the first three Shai shooting fouls and the unnatural motions. I don’t understand how this isn’t obvious to you. It is ok to say Shai is a great player and he grifts and grifting is bad.

@BSolomonsHood @Marc_DAmico It's a foul on Dort. Absolutely. Contact on the arm. But per Brown's own point, is it basketball? Is it how he defines the right way to play? The play he yelled about during the game with Shai was also a foul with clear contact on Garza.

@Charlottean28 You talking about Shai?

Says the man that delivers a forearm shiver on every pull up

@wrldoftatum @royceyoung my dog. How about this one?

@Gursshh @wrldoftatum Trip is automatic in the nba. If you don’t know what you are talking about please stfu

@wrldoftatum So there was marginal contact that the ref missed. Happens all the time in Okc games against both teams. They let both teams play more physical like a playoff game which is why teams hate playing us🤷🏽‍♂️

@HenryTheBlasian Just watch the first three Shai shooting fouls. This will give you the answer.

I don’t understand why Jaylen Brown been talking about this the last day when Shai had 0 FTs in the 4Th (8 Total the whole game) while lighting the Celtics up and Jaylen Brown had 7 FTs in just the 4th lmfao. (14 Total)

@WSpooney Is @royceyoung in here defending this yet?

It's pretty wild how much contact and grabbing it took before the refs made this call.

@royceyoung @dailythunder “Other players do the bad thing that my favorite player does. They are also criticized but it is definitely not fair that my favorite player is also criticized for it.”

@dailythunder That’s exactly the frustration here. Well put. He is the poster child for something every great scorer does, and the actual stats say he isn’t rewarded for it as much as others.

So tired of SGA being the poster child for foul calls people don't like. The evidence would say that SGA gets fewer of these types of calls than other superstars. Bro just set a record that took 127 (!!) games to achieve, but we're going to talk about 1 foul call?

@royceyoung @Marc_DAmico Oh man. Such level headed engagement with the above posted response. You really put in the blood sweat and tears to earn that paycheck.

@Marc_DAmico Everybody whines and complains about it, then moves the goalposts when their own players do it. What about this one? Not baiting a foul, right?

@royceyoung Oh damn. Yes, the clip where Caruso pushes his body off the ground using the leverage generated from two hands on Jabs body (which was not called). Excellent example. Please give us more.

@royceyoung @NElGHT_ Shai gets this call 3x a game at minimum.

@NElGHT_ 🤝

This is clearly not foul baiting why are we doing this

@royceyoung @AddiOKC @NElGHT_ It’s fully not. Obviously the hate OKC receives is not 100% warranted, but your defense of Shai and the imbalanced OKC whistle is so often totally detached from reality it is truly hard to take your advocacy seriously.

@AddiOKC @NElGHT_ Well, for one, then you do a great job curating your TL, because Thunder negativity is QUITE prevalent on Twitter. And two, because it's a completely unfair and false narrative about SGA and just conceding to misinformation, misleading clips and nonsense only furthers it all.

@royceyoung @NElGHT_ First three shooting fouls. Easy. Arguing that any of JBs shooting fouls were anything close to the first three for Shai last night is laughable. This is why no one can stand your commentary. Just Shai tinted bullshit.

@NElGHT_ How do you define it then? What play did SGA manipulate or foul bait last night? Brown caught Dort reaching and took advantage of it by going into his shooting motion. He, quite literally, baited a foul.

@RussFcb I mean he should have had 7 FTAs in each quarter. Talk about hacks.

Shai in 4th quarter: 7/8 FG, 14 Points, 0 freethrows Jaylen Brown in 4th quarter: 2/8 FG, 11 Points, 7 freethrows

@SirRobertBuford @BiggLynch Pretty obvious foul by Caruso prior to the rip through

@BiggLynch “Like let's just play basketball. All the foul baiting, I think it’s whatever for me.” Jaylen Brown has such little self-awareness it’s insane. Bro stfu and stop whining you do it too

Jaylen Brown Speaks on Players Manipulating the Game After Celtic Thunder Matchup “we commend players for playing the game the right way but we give the benefit to those who try to manipulate the game into their advantage. I just don't think it’s basketball. Like let's just play basketball. All the foul baiting, I think it’s whatever for me.”

@OfficialNBARefs your ranks are full so many small egotistical men unable to appropriately respond to criticism. Please no more Tyler ford.

This the shit I be talking about
