@BenHowardOPT Especially true when all these fans are consuming the same engagement bait. They say "all of us coming to the same conclusion can't be wrong" like they came to these conclusions independently.

Do you really want an explanation for why the OKC and SGA discourse is nonsense? Because I can do a 15 tweet essay on confirmation bias, selection bias, priming, the availability heuristic, and self-serving attribution bias if you want. Because YES, you can all be wrong.

@OKCskittles Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, or the frequency illusion. Like when you buy a new car, then suddenly start noticing it everywhere. There aren't more of them, you're just primed to look for them.

@mikeowens1 @FrankBurner222 Oh I see we're back to totals, hence my original LeBron comment. IF ONLY THERE WERE A "PER GAME" STAT lol You likely know this already, but "per game" over last 2 years RS + PLAYOFFS, SGA is not the highest. If he was, OP would have used per game. The dishonesty is intentional.

@solaravoss @FrankBurner222 Brunson and KAT have played three fewer playoff games than him and have 87 and 131 fewer FTAs than him in the playoffs.

What we all learned in the playoffs this year: - Embiid will never make the ECF - Thunder are better if SGA’s on the bench - Jokic is the best player in the world by far

@mikeowens1 @FrankBurner222 Agreed! So then circling back to the SGA stat in the OP, do you think its relevant that hes played by far the most minutes and games in the period cited?

@solaravoss @FrankBurner222 Of course it matters because of course LeBron has taken 10x the amount of him because he’s played 248 more playoff games than him.

@FlaggMavs This would go the same way tanking fines go. People like them in theory, but in practice, once one of their guys gets a fine the outrage becomes "NBA is targeting my team because look at these clips from other players that weren't fined"

If you want to get rid of flopping the solution is incredibly simple. $10k fine for your first offense $25k fine for your second offense $50k fine for a third offense $100k fine for your fourth offense 3 game suspension for fifth offense Make the NBA watchable again

@SteveThunderfan Terrified of the Spurs doing this and just living with the 4 on 3 with Wemby at the basket. Cason/Dort/Caruso will be taking those shots. Patented OKC ways to lose games

It honestly does seem like the Lakers have “figured out” how to stop Shai lol the problem is it’s approaching levels like that time Loyola doubled Steph fullcourt the whole game at Davidson and lost by 30. Like congrats you held Shai down, bravo, at what cost?

Luka Revenge Tour@Kyrie_Doncic·
For the 1000th time: Number of free throws taken or fouls drawn are not an indicator of fairly called games The only indicator would be - # of fouls called that weren’t fouls - # of fouls committed that weren’t called But those don’t exist
T-Bob Hebert@TBob53

All these Lakers fans in my mentions bitching at me The facts are the facts Luka led the league shooting 10 free throws per game NO ONE GETS MORE CONSISTENTLY FAVORABLE CALLS EVERY SINGLE YEAR THA YALL DO So miss me with your bitching at the refs

@KevinGraySports Shai is the Tim Duncan of guards. Just a boring (to casuals) ass whooping. I disagree the SGA doesn't make people feel anything. He has NBA fans in their feelings 3x a week lol.

The best way I can describe Luka Dončić (besides an absolute playoff soul-snatching killer) is that he makes me FEEL something when I watch him play Whether you love or hate Luka he elicits a reaction; SGA is a great basketball player, but Shai doesn’t make me FEEL anything in that way (he just pisses people off with his foul grifting) there’s no indelible playoff moments that stand out…

@sirlofin He admits Shai is a better basketball player, so I don't really care what aesthetic things get you excited or whatever. Give me the Tim Duncan of guards over the Dirk Nowitzki of guards.

As someone who’s been to @BillSimmons home and watched games with him and is in a text thread with a bunch of ringer staffers where we talk about games together, I can assure you guys, Bill IS watching these games. Besides the mistake didn’t change the point he was making. He’s NOT a box score watcher……..I just don’t think people realize how tough podcasting is and that anyone can make a mistake or have brain fart, even a GOAT like Bill who has 50 million things on his plate from running a company, being exec, doing a bunch of pods and having a family. He’s allowed to make a mistake.

So either.. An MVP voter doesn’t know OKC’s All-NBA forward has been out the last 4 playoff games.. or he’s getting JDub & JWill mixed up 4 seasons, 3 playoff runs and 1 championship into their careers.. or he’s analyzing a game he obviously didn’t watch.

@BrandonRahbar These guys are box score and clip watchers. Its why they love Jokic so much because he dominates box score stats (PRA).

@1ketamine1 @NotLikeAr double teams aren't an excuse in basketball, Players only get doubled if its a good coverage against that player. Others don't get doubled at all because its a bad coverage for that player(LeBron)

@WaryNiklas @1ketamine1 @NotLikeAr SGA IS punishing doubles by passing out of them and his team gets a 4 on 3 advantage. They've won both games by 18 and everybody on OKC getting easy looks.

@1ketamine1 @NotLikeAr Don’t mean anything, good players (LeBron, Luka, Jordan, Kobe, Steph, Dwade, AI) all punish double teams with ease, shit players lose performance from it.

@AndrewDBailey Being in league with the prime LeBron Wade "Heatles" is such a compliment to OKC

This is definitely the closest I’ve seen anything get to universal agreement in all my years covering the NBA. First year of the Heatles might be the only other contender.
Jeff Morton@jmorton78

I've been watching the NBA as a fan since the 1987-88 season. I don't think I have ever seen an entire league unite in their disdain for a single team more than I have this season. The way the Thunder are officiated might have reached a breaking point.
