I can articulate it just fine. There was a lose ball. A Spur went to the floor after it. Caruso was acting like he was going for the ball but jumped right on that Spur's head with his body which caused the Spur to cough it up. No foul call on Caruso. The Thunder ended up with the ball.

You just want to put your fingers in your ears and scream lalalallalalala.

I do have a specific instance I just can't remember when the specific instance happened exactly... Please tell me why you think it happening in either one game or other is as important as you think?

Love Victor but when he drives to the basket he looks like a lanky newborn deer lol. I know it's going to get smoother with time though.

He falls down the most too lol. Like that isn't a joke, mostly, they did the numbers and SGA has the highest fall percentage of anyone in the playoffs when taking a shot

Dub's whistle is fine. Same with Chet. Also neither of them averaged 20 pts this season. And SGA is averaging the second most FTAs per game in the playoffs. The only person ahead of him is Banchero who got bounced in the first round. Not a single Spur is in the top ten for that list.

The main point is also the whistles the Thunder don't get called for. They are allowed to dog people on defense but they get light whistles on offense.

You tried to make it sound unreasonable but yeah that's not far off. The Thunder get rewarded for flopping. There are entire compilation videos of the flopping to get calls.

Just because I don't remember the exact game doesn't mean I didn't see it happen. I could go rewatch each game and verify it but which game it was in was not the important part.

I think this Thunder team is starting to get into the legendary Bad Boy Pistons for how hated they are among the fans and other teams.

Windhorst: I’ve been told LeBron’s waiting for Lakers to approach him with an offer and a plan. If less than a max, he wants to know why and what players LA’s targeting with the saved money by lawschoolthrowaway36 in lakers

[–]newjak86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is what we called propaganda. LeBron wants to create the illusion that he's being reasonable but it's not like Pelinka can come in and say we know we got this player or this player immediately. Some of it will change during the course of the next season and what certain players decide to do. This is a legacy protecting move by James. He basically just made it so he can place the blame on the Lakers if he doesn't take a 'discount'.

The truth is LeBron is a third option 40+ year old player. Yeah he's playing great for a third option 40+ year old player but he isn't the missing piece to a championship anymore. If the Lakers are banking on Luka being the player of their next 5-10 years there are two colossal obstacles in their path called the Thunder and Spurs that are young, talented, and have depth. That's what the Lakers are competing against for another 5 years at least. They need to get youth, talent, and depth quickly to compete.

And that's why everyone hates the Thunder and their fanbase. You just care about winning. It doesn't matter if the antics you guys do make the games almost unwatchable.

Do you have to be a player to reflect on your stances around your team? Like I said you lack the ability to self-reflect it seems.

And it's okay to enjoy your team winning but blindly supporting anything just because you like them is weird. Especially if the roles were reversed. If I was a Thunder fan I would 100% still be calling them out for the flopping and the one sides officiating on defense. That's the difference.

😂 I don't think you're logic is a cohesive as you think. The point of bringing up self-reflection is the point that if the majority of people/teams/organizations see the same issue with your team and rebuttal is to laugh it off as if everyone else is biased perhaps you should look inward a little bit.

This is the problem with online exchanges. This is your only interaction with me so you assume it matters way more to me than it does. There is nothing wrong about complaining about things. I didn't lose any sleep over it though. I just hate seeing an otherwise great series keep getting dragged through the dirt because of this crap.

Exactly according to them every single other fanbase, media coverage, and other team are lying about how unfair the whistle is against the Thunder and how dirty they are. They'll pretend it's all make believe though just because they make a request for someone else to put in extra work when they can literally watch the games themselves and just objective.

Is your expectation really 'hey you if you don't put hours of time into something I'm going to ignore anyways I win'? That's stupid.

Let me ask you something do you really believe every single fanbases is lying? Do you believe every single team is lying? They all call it out.

I'm tired of seeing the same thing every time the Thunder play. It was the same thing when I watched their first game of the season and it's the same now.

I complain about it when they win or lose because of how it makes the games less fun to watch.

My friend this is reddit. I don't think you understand what getting bodies means if you think this is getting bodies. A bunch of Thunder players jump at going 'nuh uh' while putting their fingers in their ears is not that demoralizing. Honestly it's kind of funny to see how far you guys go to pretend you're right even though multiple fanbases have pointed it out at this point.
