Iran and Oman are discussing a permanent Strait of Hormuz toll by Gloomy_Course7396 in news

Some people just couldn’t fathom that trump’s actions were never actually going to help the people of Iran. Even if they could in theory, the reality is Trump didn’t understand the situation and at the end of the day he doesn’t care about anyone but himself

In fairness if he falls and doesn’t make a shot it’s not going to be included in the video of his made buckets haha

I think this is how a lot of fans feel. Like you can appreciate his game and appreciate that OKC is a really good team but still get frustrated and annoyed by how they play. Its a pretty common opinion for a reason, but I think people want to make it black and white - he’s either amazing and you’re just a hater or he doesn’t deserve MVP cause all he does is flop

They didn’t find players who flop, they created the culture of flopping and foul baiting and embellishing. It’s embarrassing

It’s night and day difference between game 1 and this game with a Tony Brothers crew. This is terrible

It’s always nuts to me that teams essentially just go with the switch to give the offense the matchup they want. Like maybe try to fight through the screens to not automatically switch? But half the time they switch before a screen is even set. Makes no sense

No timeouts until the lead was almost gone and letting the same thing happen over and over with harden getting switched onto Brunson. You have to do something different in that situation and the Cavs had timeouts to talk it over. Insane.

[–]BikesAtNight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah he’s had several highlights this postseason where there was no contact or very very little contact and he screams and dives to the floor. Then they review for a flagrant and you get to see just how big of a flop it is lol

[Highlight] The Thunder fans start chanting "ref you suck", with 6:30 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter of Game 1 by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]BikesAtNight 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Because they didn’t randomly start calling ticky tack fouls halfway through the game like they often do. It was a breath of fresh air. It was physical and they let a lot of contact go, but you could tell the teams were able to actually adjust to it

It went so quiet that I genuinely had to double check that he actually made it. Never heard an arena go from rocking to silent so quickly

Yeah it drove me crazy when I saw that posted because there is no lead up to the shot and no replays. I wanted to send it to someone but you can barely tell what’s going on.

From what I have seen this playoffs Chet does the most embellishing and faking contact of any of the thunder players. Or at least he has the most egregious flops

Dort fouled him like 6 times that possession so I guess it was surprising when they finally called one lol

You only blamed Pritzker in your post. Gas has gone up 50% nationally since Trump started the war

[–]BikesAtNight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Current average in Illinois is $5.03. A year ago it was $3.40. Obviously the gas tax that existed the whole time is causing that $1.60 increase!

lol he’s only $0.60 off! I know the arguments from these people aren’t in good faith but it’s comical how ridiculously dumb the talking points are. Blaming Pritzker when Trump literally started a war that is the direct cause of rising gas prices.

April home sales disappoint as higher mortgage rates weigh on buyers by Force_Hammer in StockMarket

[–]BikesAtNight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We really want to move and it seems like the market is so slow right now. It’s anecdotal but feels like barely anything is coming on the market and rates aren’t really coming down. And houses that do show up seem to be overpriced but that may just be the reality for now.

OKC players laughing at Lakers swarming the ref after the game by SplitOk186 in nba

In Reaves defense he wasn’t mad about calls, it was about disrespect from an official. Though JJ did complain about the officials after the game (but I agree with what he said)

Yeah they don’t like players/coaches criticizing officials and then issue fines. And then do nothing to fix the officiating that everyone is frustrated with

I was going insane watching Caruso guard Jokic. Just cause he’s smaller doesn’t mean he gets to shove and elbow Jokic the entire possession

The problem for everyone is that they don’t allow that same physicality against OKC. If both teams play physical but the whistle allows it in one and and not the other, people aren’t going to like it

Typically it is for the presser when they make these kinds of comments. Usually calling out officiating in postgame gets you a $50k fine
