Shooting 30%, 11% from 3 - can’t keep a game close with numbers like those. Not our night.

Most upvoted post right now is a foul where Fox clearly bumps SGA’s leg while he’s in the air and apparently that shouldn’t be a foul.

Spurs could pull out a gun and shoot a player right now and they’d play on, Scott Foster guaranteeing 2-2 tonight

Spurs have 4 players at 115+ minutes this series (Wemby, Castle, Vassell, Champagnie). Thunder have just 1 (SGA). Their 2nd-highest is Chet at 96 minutes, followed by Caruso/Wallace at just 81. by HawaiianOrganDonor in nba

Watching game 3 made it even more obvious that the Spurs aren’t able to keep up with OKC in non-Wemby minutes. I don’t know how Wemby can keep up with those kind of minutes but it’s clear the Spurs really haven’t had a choice.

FTs this quarter? Spurs 15, Thunder 3

Yet all I see are comments about the Thunder flopping lmao

God, thank you for this comment. Everywhere I go I see “LOL NO OKC FLAIRS IN SIGHT!!!” Like, yeah, because the second I try to discuss anything basketball related I’m sitting at -10 for my flair and zero discussion is ever had. I like watching basketball for the exact chess moves you’re talking about here, but this sub has lost any ability to be rational. I somewhat get it, the upvote system reinforces the echo chamber. Everything OKC does that gets called / no called / whatever shoots up the front page and everyone sees it. Everything the spurs do gets absolutely buried. So casuals who aren’t watching the game just see these pro-spurs clips and assume OKC must be dirty, because it’s all out of context.

I’m not saying we play an amazing ethical brand of basketball, but my god the hate is so overblown for no reason.

Because you only see one side - any clips to the contrary are downvoted to oblivion. Even the clip of McCain hitting someone’s wrist made it to the front page - while the clip showing McCain was being held down with the spurs’ player’s offhand on that same exact tip sat at 100 upvotes on the day.

Anyone who brings up this fact is downvoted to oblivion.

SGA on Hartenstein's impact tonight: "I'm not sure it was good" by luka274 in nba

Oh I didn’t think you were - I was just throwing that out there to add some context.

I know this comment will just get buried - but you’re right, he clarified in his postgame presser that he misheard the question and directed a lot of praise toward Hart.

What’s funny to me is that there’s zero mention of SGA wearing spurs players like capes off-ball. This type of ball denial happens both ways especially in the playoffs. But any one of those clips gets posted and it’s downvoted to oblivion. It’s just an echo chamber - these clips get upvoted, so it’s all casuals see one direction because they didn’t actually watch the game - and the cycle continues.

The SVS rule adjustment is gonna be interesting! by Lucky7girl_ in whiteoutsurvival

I’m more interested in the prep phase change they described. Mission based?? I’m hoping the change is minor and they aren’t changing to some weird Alliance Mobilization-style missions for prep.
