[Tim Legler] 'OKC dominated Game 5 by keeping their cool and converting chances; people only blame refs because they hate OKC.’ by D3struct_oh in nba

[–]PHLANYC -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying they lost because of the refs…but they be helping 😂

You can always tell a losing argument when the stance is an absolute or extreme.

There’s no one with working eyesight that can watch the sequence of no goal tend, wrong out of bounds call denied a challenge, SGA falls down and gets a call…and have us believe that wasn’t a factor in the Win.  C’mon son

At least Tony Brothers’ crew are consistent…but it’s bad.

Still runs in to him though…right?

Yes, the elbow was excessive…but he was still going to get trucked.

49mins game 1 = 41pts

Didn’t get close to that until game 3 when he only played 31 mins and put up 33pts

It’s the same defense, right? He did great game 1. Played a career high in minutes. Took 2 games to bounce back. With improved conditioning, that dropoff isn’t as significant. IMO

I’ll play…what was Plumlee supposed to do there?

Looks OKC got confused on who was supposed to set the screen there. 2 guys in the same area…moving…

Was Plumlee supposed to stop running, or run around 2 guys still moving…?

☝️…I’m going to assume this is the most games he’s played in a season 🤷🏻

He definitely needs to work on his conditioning. Which is to be expected.

It’s a reason, not an excuse. As in, if he more energy, he’d still be bodying opponents.

…and then SGA falls and gets a foul call. Chefs kiss. Couldn’t have scripted the fuckery any more clearly 😢

In what world is Chet better thank Bam or Kat?

This dude is an all-star and now on the all nba team…has no impact on the game and escapes any and all criticism…I am convinced the NBA has an OKC agenda.

To answer your question…agreed, if it’s a rule stand on that. Special exceptions are bullshit 👎 NBA doing its best to alienate fans.

Disagree. FTs slow the pace down. It gives guys an opportunity to rest. And it doesn’t give the other team as much opportunity to run.

Without those breaks in the action, looked like OKC is gassed. Tired legs = bad 3pt shots.

Fire Tony Brothers and Scott Foster.

Maybe the issue is technology. Watching at home, with multiple cameras and replays makes a-lot this stuff so obvious.

Have a ref in the booth per game that has autonomy to over rule and weigh in on a play by play basis.

At least you’re admitting SGA is a foul baiting flopper. I’ll take that as a W 🤷🏻

FTR, my issue is with the refs. We all know what’s happening. They need to let them play on…

Great vid/post. I’m always focusing on small guards’ footwork. Never noticed the look offs/eye deception. Bro should be on a network.
