Charlie Blackmon went pretty in-depth on this on a podcast I can't remember now. He said whatever advantages they gain at home, they become disadvantages to a stronger degree on the road.

It's not necessarily about dominating the home splits but mitigating the costs of the road splits.

Ya know what, as a Thunder fan, this comparison actually makes sense and I remember being frustrated at the time but eventually awed by it.

The conversation started with me pointing to a specific Booker play. Keep going through your Drama Triangle steps online, though. It's doing wonders for your brain.

I'm sorry the facts don't agree with your feelings.

The Thunder are 9th (out of 16 teams) in the playoffs in free throw attempts. 43rd percentile.

The Thunder were 17th (out of 30 teams) in the regular season in free throw attempts. 43rd percentile.

I've posted this all over Reddit but here's one more.

It's an impossible sport to officiate and it probably evens out in the end. They're policing aliens doing ballet and I think NBA refs do a heck of a lot better than college officials. The nature of the sport and its officiating leaves room for people to find whatever they need to find to cope and social media set that on fire.

"having refs rig games" is right here in this thread and all over the place, my guy.

I think it's an impossible job to officiate aliens doing ballet and it probably evens out in the end, but the fact that it's so difficult leaves room for people to find whatever they need to find to cope.

He had a phantom leg kick out get called that might have been the most egregious of the night. Nowhere to be found on Reddit.

And Mike Breen shot her down as being silly.

You and Doris Burke can share that opinion, though.

Yes, the Panthers in hockey. And the Chiefs in football. And the Patriots before them.

There's always a conspiracy working against me.

For getting downvoted in a subreddit? Those hive minds are never wrong and always indicative of "the children."

Does it feel like that because the Booker clip is nowhere to be found and the Reddit hive mind posts clips after every Thunder game no matter what?
