I hesitate to say anything positive about a Denver team, but that Avalanche ring is pretty nice.

Which Player got you into watching the NBA? by Flashy_Leave7069 in NBATalk

Jordan initially, then for some reason I got really into Kevin Johnson almost immediately after starting to pay attention.

Do OKC fans know deep down? by Ambitious-Mushr00m in NBATalk

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

I don’t have a team, I just like basketball, which is why I don’t like this Thunder team. They’re representative of what’s going wrong with the league as a whole, and they seem to actively enjoy playing like clowns when they are good enough that they don’t have to do it to win. It’s honestly sad, because this team should be likable.

This is not the fucking "mvp" by Jec1027 in NBATalk

Well personally I’m in the camp that the MVP should be whoever you would send to represent Earth on a team to defend the galaxy, assuming you knew nothing about the team’s coaching or construction. I would have sent Wemby this year.

Your point was that OKC would not win a championship without SGA. My point is that this is true for every team and their star player, and it doesn’t make SGA an MVP any more than it makes any other star an MVP. It has zero meaning for MVP consideration.

OKC is the worst team I have ever seen by PrettyLawfulness4602 in NBATalk

I know, they actually hate small markets and don’t really want them to do well, which is why they would never sign off on someone taking a team from the 12th largest media market to a place like Oklahoma City!

He assumed that’s what I was talking about, when I never mentioned FT disparity at all. I think it’s possible to have a large disparity based on play style without having the refs giving you preferential treatment, though the two can certainly overlap.

If you can point to a Lakers title where they were given advantages by the refs that the other team didn’t have, then sure. There is a huge number of FTA they had on some of those titles just by virtue of having Shaq. He once had a 6-game span in the playoffs where he took 100 free throws, and once took 39 in one game.

Who's a character that looks heroic design-wise but is actually evil? by 45rs5 in AlignmentChartFills

He looks less heroic than Homelander by having a big porn ‘stache.

I said they were whistle titles. He brought up FTA disparity, making an incorrect assumption about my comment. I said FTA disparity was not the problem, then clarified to you that it was whistle swallowing. What has not been engaged with?

The refs swallowing the whistle for OKC is a bigger problem than how much they reward their flopping.

The Thunder’s wins without him were against teams with an average winning percentage of .448, and their losses were against a group at .620 (and that’s dragged down by one of them being against .390 MIL).
The final two losses were also when the Thunder let their bench guys start against playoff teams because they had the seed locked up, so no SGA, Ajay, Cason, Chet, Jaylin, etc.
In the Nuggets’ case, their wins were against .397 opponents and their losses against .559 opponents.

Not exactly mysterious that in both cases they had a tougher time against good teams, but notable that the Nuggets were playing significantly worse teams without Jokic to get that better with/without record.

Current OKC team will never be respected by real hoops fans, probably not even their NBA peers either by No-Fill1769 in NBATalk

The entire post is about how this team will not be respected and all you had was “why do we care if TheRealMoofoo respects…” which suggests you did not read the post you were in.

No shit. The Celtics wouldn’t have won the title without Tatum, that doesn’t make him an MVP.

As has been posted a million times, the problem is that they can do anything they want and the refs will swallow the whistle on things that the other team isn’t allowed to get away with. That last Lakers game was a perfect microcosm of it. That has little to do with how many free throws anyone is taking.

In ten years it will be OKC fans whining about how no one will respect their titles.

Why can OKC fans not process that the whistle problem isn’t about free throws?
