@PWaynorth @YanPeronn When a defender enters your space and you’re forced to change your natural shooting motion it is a defensive foul.

@Nixnac85 @YanPeronn "If the defender lunges into the air, at the shooter," would you say the shooter jumped straight up, towards the basket, or to his left?

I’m honestly interested in seeing how OKC fans defend this one

@dude123654789 Yeah that actually makes sense. Cheers.

@Nixnac85 Dude, what is this your guy, I'm not a spurs fan, just calling it as I see it. Just take the loss, regroup and hopefully Chet can have a better game 7 next year if you make it back.

This guy mixed up SGA with Wemby*

@dude123654789 Your guy threatened legal action. Our guy intentionally sent his team to hurt ours. Then told his rookie how proud he was of trying to injure ours. Then elbows every person he possibly can. Then flops the entire series. See how that sounds?

@Nixnac85 Na, when an MVP threatens legal action for a game, dude know how his bread is buttered.

@PWaynorth @YanPeronn If the defender lunges into the air, at the shooter, with his back to him, altering the available shooting space it is a defensive foul. Period.

@Nixnac85 @YanPeronn "then you take a shot after that" and when you take the shot, are you looking for a good shot, or just any shot that makes contact with the guy you pump faked? regardless of if the defender jumped to the side of you

Refs won this game..people talk about okc flopping and fouling but the spurs get away with dirty elbows to the face. Sports entertainment is corrupted.

Well there’s a new Western Conference champ. Lead by the dirty, mob boss, elbow-happy, flopping king of the Spurs, Wemby.

Wemby with a CRAZY flop 😭

I still don’t understand how Wemby can hit people in the face consistently and never get a flagrant. It’s wild to me.

Wemby FLOP.

Faint chants of "flopper" for Victor Wembanyama from the OKC faithful.

Bismack Biyombo to Wemby: “Point him out. I’ll handle the rest.”

@StevePopper Are you sure you weren’t watching a replay of Castle from earlier?

My NBA rules have to even out for the defense rant of the night: SGA extends an arm and shoves Carter-Bryant out of the way and hits a 3. Official closer to the play than Carter-Bryant, not a flinch of a call. I had to rewind to make sure I saw what I thought I did. I did.

They’re called pump fakes. The intention is to get the defensive player in the air, then you take a shot after that. Some defensive players aren’t disciplined enough to not leave their feet or they jump towards the shooter.

I’d rather see this than if Wemby had won and he’s out there sending his bench to injure OKC, telling his rookie he is proud of him for hurting SGA, and flopping like crazy.

@hymnduncan Legal guarding position*

Shooting motion

Wemby hits Caruso in the face “I didn’t do anything”

Spoken like a true Spurs fan, lead by their elbowing, flopping, mob boss Wemby

“Not a flop” from Wemby
