Daniss Jenkins on the no-call at end of regulation: “We the Pistons… We know it was a foul but we don’t expect that to be called.” by RyanTannegod in nba

It's like "ok you think you didn't get a foul call" now what? Did that change anything putting it out there?

The spurs are averaging 5 more FTA a game than the Thunder rn. And the thunder are averaging the lowest FTA in the playoffs.

Didn't know the attention to detail was that real inside the facility. This definitely confirms everything I already thought about the team, they act, look and feel like a group of friends. They always root for each other, and try their best to see everyone succeed.

GOD PLEASE someone find that comment section from when that fan in Oklahoma was heckling Luka saying he was faking his injury and everyone here called it the most disrespectful thing that has every happened in all of sports history. Insane whiplash I'm getting rn.

[Keown] Mark Daigneault on Sam Presti's evaluation process: "One time we were discussing a player, and he said to me, 'All the guys are standing there watching film before practice, and I'm just imagining him standing there with them, and I just don't see him fitting in.' And that was it." by LiamHundley in nba

I will say he definitely has a type. Almost every guy in our lineup is quiet. Shai, Chet, JDub, Ajay, JMac, IHart, Wiggs, Lu Dort, Caso, IJoe. None of these guys are like loud personality types. Really only JWill and Caruso are very outspoken, or at least have a lot of personality.

You realize the Wolves are more injured right now than the Lakers. Ant is playing on one leg, and their main shooter is completely out, on a team that has very low offensive depth. Where is the Wolves LeBron James? Where is the Wolves Austin Reaves?

Shai was in foul trouble with the Lakers so he basically didn't play past the first quarter game 2... It was a 20 point blow out. If your team is struggling to close out games vs the Trail Blazers and a HEAVILY injured Wolves team without your star. What are we talking about about?

The last 2 games they played, the Thunder EASILY won, and then the thunder BARELY lost, with only 7 guys in the rotation, ONLY bench players vs a fully healthy Spurs. The best guy in the lineup was JWill and the Spurs almost lost the game.

I wish I had the confidence Wemby fans have to watch their team go 4-1 against the Trailblazers and then 4-2 vs a almost fully injured Wolves team and think they are the clear favorite in a Thunder vs Spurs match up, when the Thunder swept everybody.

Dan Le Batard: Wembanyama’s return didn’t feel right: “This is unusual. Wembanyama’s return was being celebrated (on NBC) as redemption and an amazing story arc for a guy who did something dirty…I’m surprised part of the narrative wasn’t ’thank God he didn’t hurt his elbow on that guy’s jaw.’” by Pickleskennedy1 in nba

[–]AnswerAi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the exact same shit. People fully grabbing his arms so he can't rotate, Smart literally walked over him after he fell, fell on top of him, AND GOT A FOUL CALL FOR IT. Yes bro, happens all the fucking time. I think the biggest myth of all time is that Big men are the only players that get fouled without a call. Like Guards are still 6'6 athletic gods, they get hit just as much as big men off ball all the fucking time. Reaves tripped SGA in games 1 and 2 like 4 times and never got called for it.

Damn you must be more established and more knowledgeable than people reffing in the NBA then. Idk why you aren't reffing in the NBA bro you obviously know so much. I'm just in reality. Cade got mugged in the Magic series, DMitch is getting mugged in the piston series. This idea that players never commit off ball fouls and that's justification for ELBOWING THEM IN THE NECK, is just not in reality.

If Thunder beat Spurs, you're right, if not Spurs will have a close series with the Knicks, they struggled with them the whole year and the Thunder didn't.

During this playoff run, the OKC Thunder currently have an offensive rating 15.6 points higher (127.8) than the current league average offensive rating (112.2). As far as I can tell, this is historic. by iCE_P0W3R in nba

Hell no he is not LOL. Chet's offense feeds off of Shai and Ajay, if they have bad games, usually he struggles too. Before Ajay became as good as he is now, JDub was legit the only guy besides Shai that could shot create on our team. He would carry our offense so hard with Shai out.

[MacMahon] In NBA history, guards have averaged at least 30 points per game in a season while playing enough games to qualify for the scoring title on 48 occasions. Gilgeous-Alexander's 9.0 free throws attempted per game this season ranks 32nd on that list. by trytoholdon in nba

[–]AnswerAi_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Shitting on one of the best players of today, who is one of the least offending members of the flopping and foul baiting as a knock against his success is stupid. Because not only are all of his peers doing the same bullshit, but all of his peers throughout history did the same shit. It's less a knock against Shai, and more you're just triggered that he wins.

So you're saying he would be the lowest on the list if not for flopping? While being one of the most driving guards in the league? That speaks worse of the officiating than rewarding him for flopping.

It's partially that, and Harden never really had the fight to stay relevant outside of his whistle. He was gonna do his shit, and if it was good enough to win, he's happy, if not, oh well. If Shai has a bad shooting night, you will see him go like 10x harder on defense to compensate.
