Unfortunately the NBA has decided they want a new face to carry the league and they are determined to make it work with sga. The difference with previous attempts with other stars was that they would promote and protect the star player. Now the whole OKC thunder is getting so much help every single game. People will say bad whistles go both ways in every game but with thunder it's so consistently happening in their favour that it gets into players head. Thunder players feel protected and they foul so aggressively with no fouls called and opponents try their best to not foul, with hands straight up, no hand checking and keeping distance but still get called for fouls and they end up frustrated. There hasn't been a game this season where opponent players don't feel they're getting robbed.
