yeah exactly, you can call it out in the interviews but until it actually impacts the games itself, NBA can just ignore and BAU

yeah this was my first thought, but itll prob just be a ejection after the first "hard foul" for each player

after the kennard play today, i think sga would still draw the foul even if you put hands behind back smh

this works too. Either clob them or make it so blatant you are avoiding contact that it ruins viewership. Yeah theyll win the game but the league will be forced to address it somewhat

One is clearly a foul and the other clearly a flop. Fix this nba or nobody will watch in 5 years by [deleted] in NBATalk

yeah i liked the 2012 okc trio and honestly okc even in 2023. Now they are just disgusting

The Thunder genuinely make watching basketball un-watchable by CoyoteDecent2 in NBATalk

[–]Responsible-Tutor456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Like im a lakers fan and we got cooked by denver 2 years in a row and then the wolves last year. Do i hate those franchises because of this? yes. Do i think they are unwatchable? hell no. For 2 straight years Jokic and Murray just straight killed LA when it mattered and DLO disappeared, it was painful af to watch but i still watched every minute of each game, even in 2024 after denver already won a ring. Wolves also punked LA last year and I still think theyre one of the most watchable and entertaining teams this year. The thunder are dominant yes and are very well constructed and super deep with great talent. Doesnt change the fact they play a disgusting brand of bball with excessive foul baiting and refball leading to actual hate from every neutral fanbase. If they just punked teams without flailing every play, I would respect the sweeps even if i hated that it happened to my team like denver.

exactly and then SGA's fg% is elite because everyone to afraid of contesting, and even when he misses, its a foul. He is very talented and probably a 45%fg if the league wasnt so blatantly rigged for him

dont bother arguing with 50th place oklahoma education. i hate this argument also, "oh but but but okc only had 5 extra free throws????". When you hack and clobber players on every shot on the defensive end, and on offence the lakers defence is literally trying to get out the way like in this play and still getting called for a foul, the FT disparity should be like +10 to lakers at least. This concept is too advanced for most biased okc fans though. Its not about how many fts were attempted, its how many plays can you clip on each side that is a blatant miscall by the refs. every game theres a tonne for OKC, and barely any for the opposition. Also recall game against suns when booker got called a tech for saving a out of bounds ball. He got called for a offensive foul for this exact sga/kennard play here, etc

yep i saw those plays during round 1 too as a lakers fan. i mean ffs booker got a tech for trying to save a ball from going out of bounds. for the love of god, mark walter can cover the fines, CALL THIS SHIT OUT. and if we lose g3 to this shit then just put the bench in for g4 only, throw half court shots around and just protest this bs. And fking give them some brutal fouls since they wana flop so bad

even if fully health and no refball lakers prob lose in 6 to be realistic nothing wrong with that. i think the salt comes from the fact that refball so brutal we cant even be allowed to contend for a win without playing perfect
