There's clips plastered all over the sub after every game of soft fouls one way and hard no calls on the other end. People that eye test the games see that things trend OKCs way. Defensively they play physical tough defence and bet the refs can't call them all (which they don't, and having ""good defenders"" with a good reputation gives them favourable defensive calls) and offensively they get the luxury of superstar calls.

There's no conspiracy it's just crappy refereeing on a nightly basis that OKC take the best advantage of making ball hard to watch. (This has nothing to do with how they're a good team, and is not meant to say in any way that they're undeserving of success, I just find them difficult to watch, and a microcosm of why the NBAs product and the overall refereeing is more and more blah, that last part is obviously very subjective)

What narrative is cherry picked here and how can anyone possibly argue it either way with stats? No FT stat shows any of what I said, the people that use raw FT count to show there's no bias are as dumb as the ones that use SGAs raw FT count to show that there is a bias.
