@27_DMAC @Dastrunk @CoachDiesel Other teams match OKC’s physicality from the jump and have success. This is seen most notably with the spurs. The suns have played with fear of getting a foul call instead of embracing it. I guarantee you if they started playing like OKC from the start of the game, it would work

@Dastrunk @CoachDiesel EXACTLY....THAT'S WHY EVERYONE HAS HAD ENOUGH...THAT'S WHY BOOK WENT THERE ON THE REFS...YOU CAN'T BEAT THE THUNDER WHEN YOU ALREADY KNOW IT'S GONNA BE CALLED ONE WAY. AS SOON AS PHOENIX TRIED TO BE PHYSICAL...WHISTLE BOWIN'.

I want people to stop complaining about the way OKC plays and just match their intensity. People been asking for 90’s basketball… OKC doing it 82 games, 48 minutes, all 94 feet and now everybody crying about it. Don’t ask them to stop… match their energy!

@Dice63080636695 @Nealerrr @Soucer23 Analysts said the same thing about the canes playing the senators this series and the canes are up 3-0. This team is just playing really good hockey right now

@Nealerrr @Soucer23 Your shitting me right you think your gonna sweep the hottest team in hockey

The NHL playoff format needs a serious change. How is it fair that the Carolina Hurricanes got a first round bye, but all 14 other teams have to play a best of 7 series?

@Galloweynba @nateoatz @alexcruzrd @MasterClutch_ Luka does everything that shai does but is even worse about it. I am not even that big of a shai fun but come on, every superstar drives to get contact. Like this post said, shai does it even less than Luka does because shai’s game is predicated on being shifty. What a wild take

@nateoatz @alexcruzrd @MasterClutch_ No, Luka y Jokic NO! De esa forma tan descarada y absurda NO ! Quien realmente no está viendo los juegos eres tú. Botcito

Este es un tema que he evitado desde hace bastante tiempo, pero me parece que es tiempo de hablar de él Shai Gilgeous-Alexander se está convirtiendo por escándalo en el jugador más odiado en la historia de la NBA Y solamente por tirar tiros libres Shai ni siquiera fue el jugador que tiro más libres por juego está temporada (Fue Luka) Shai es el número 29 en la lista de tiros libres entre los jugadores que promediaron +32 puntos en una temporada Flopping? Digamos que si lo ha llegado a hacer, pero realmente es tan exagerado como lo dicen? Te armas un recopilado y no pasa ni los 30 segundos, además ni siquiera es el único que lo hace, si no pregúntenle a Doncic o Jokic...ojo SOLO FLOPPING, no me vengan con un vídeo en dónde todas son faltas claras Eso me lleva al siguiente punto...muchos se quejaron de los libres de Shai del juego vs Suns, con un vídeo en dónde el 100% de jugadas eran faltas...y si reclamabas eso, alguno llegaba y te decía que no era cierto...nos estamos volviendo locos? Se quejan de que Shai "manipula" las reglas y todos literalmente ignoran las reglas REALES para solamente tirarle hate...es que no tiene ni sentido Es que estoy ya no es hate lógico, antes había cierto argumento real sobre ciertas faltas dudosas, pero ahora hemos llegado al punto de solo odiar al jugador porque si Que se quieren hacer los jueces y los justos? Por ejemplo, los Push offs de Shai, ok, digamos que están mal, pero por qué no critican así a los demás? Porque claramente NO es el único que lo hace con regularidad Ahora que ganó el Jugador Clutch del año, había gente que no irónicamente decían que era un robo, cuando Shai hizo literalmente la mejor temporada Clutch de la historia Dicen que es un jugador INMIRABLE, que se caiga al suelo 3 veces en 1 partido lo hace inmirable? Que tire 8 libres en un juego, que son como 2-3 minutos en un juego de más de 2 HORAS...lo hace inmirable? Se dan cuenta del poco sentido que tiene esto? Por qué no critican a las defensas por no saber defenderlo como se debe? O a los árbitros por no hacer su trabajo? Dicen que está arruinando la NBA... como carajo está arruinando la NBA cuando literalmente está haciendo lo mismo que cualquier Superestrella histórica para llegar a la línea de libres Saben lo que arruina la NBA? Todos los que fomentan este odio ilógico, están expandiendo una mentira que está arruinando la visibilidad de uno de los jugadores más generacionales que nos ha regalado la historia Y lo peor de todo es que la mayoría que critica todo eso, no ven la mayoría de juegos y se guían por highlights, que en general es muchísima gente Se que no podré cambiar la narrativa de odio irracional a SGA, pero simplemente no puedo seguir ignorando este escándalo colectivo Y no es solo para Shai, es para todos los jugadores de NBA que son odiados por razones muy tontas Por qué no podemos disfrutar de una de las mejores épocas para el baloncesto en toda la historia? Por qué siempre tenemos que buscar odiar a alguien? Se que es mucho texto, pero es una frustración que llevo acarreando desde hace un par de años...y llegué al límite

@ardeekay1 @_anthonynash This is said everytime but the Thunder are good at drawing fouls and understand the rule book. Very rarely are the given calls that other teams don’t get as well. Green and booker do the same stuff, so do the heat, wolves etc. officiating doesn’t make a team lose by 30

@_anthonynash The lack of consistency is an issue but when the lack of constituency consistently goes against one team, it needs to be looked into. I watched the game and frankly, was disgusted at the officiating.

Remember when they said they were going to take this out of the game and you'd get a tech for doing it

@stretchgoose @BrickCenter_ What he is doing is much more ethical than harden. He is statistically the most efficient guard ever on one of the best teams ever. I think you are misremembering how bad the harden stuff actually was, they had to invent rules to stop what he was doing, shai isn’t there

@BrickCenter_ Its not that sga gets fouled its how its happening thats gross. He is seeking out the foul rather than just playing and if it happens it happens. Its a young version of harden

Offensive foul on Devin Booker vs free throws for SGA 🤔🤔🤔

@Betsycashmoney @Watchin_Wemby We agree on this by getting a big guard who can play defense. Brunson and curry are the only two small guards who can exist on a playoff team and hurry is still out about Brunson being a lead guard in a championship team. The rockets lack of shooting is the bigger issue.

@evyn_good @Watchin_Wemby Then get a better guard & more shooting? Like wtf kind of logic is this? "It's better to just suck indefinitely & never advance in the playoffs" Like what?

We do this like clockwork literally every playoffs: Sept thru March, everyone's saying "Small guards are dead! Wings & switchability are all that matters!" And then the playoffs start & everyone is like "Wait, so it turns out that halfcourt creation actually matters"

@Betsycashmoney @Watchin_Wemby Houston has their own small guard in Reed Shepard who is unplayable if his shot isn’t falling because he gets destroyed on defense. Creation is important but all of the best teams have jumbo guards and playmakers(Cade, shai, Luka, hali when healthy)

@Watchin_Wemby This isn't a logical counterargument. You're arguing against a point that no one is making. No one is claiming size doesn't matter-- size is always an advantage, at every position. But we gotta acknowledge that offenses like Houston's are literally nonfunctional in the playoffs.

@shagssportstalk @kick50 @TheHoopHerald I think the bigger issue is he had 5 fouls in 7 minutes of play and stood over the Michigan state player. Nobody should act like that when you commit a hard foul and you certainly shouldn’t do that when you are down 27 points in the road

@kick50 @TheHoopHerald If he did cross that line then you have a conversation with him about it you can’t preach about guys being soft etc then that happens and immediately flip out. Also puts a bad look on the program for other recruits or transfers who see that thinking about going to UCLA.

Can’t embarrass your guy like this This is insanity May have been worse than it looks here, but he actually looks like he is going for the ball Hard foul? Yes Worth all of this? No.
