Exactly. For the record I don't like either team between LA and OKC, but seems like a lot of whining for a series that hasn't even started yet.

Was it tho?

Laravia just ran by him. Leg kick by Williams and "bang"

Again...another timing

score was 81-74....

No call on 1 end, man down and numbers the other way... you get a 4 point play to extend the lead to 85-74







**Not complaining, just showing the facts inside the numbers. Most will just see the numbers.

Honestly SGA isn't even a factor or an issue if you look at both games thus far.


It has been the crap surrounding the over all efforts.



The Lakers have done a great job of SGA just being his own story.

1) Foul Trouble because he is frustrated

2) Pulling the rug and allowing himself to expose the flaling

3) More of a factor on the bench smiling than actually participating.



***This type of approach is the reasons why Curry did not win Finals MVP during the stretch against Bron because they took him away. You still have to account for him and do your job, but take him out of it. That is what they are doing...

He had 4 fouls 2 minutes in to the 3rd quarter. 4th foul was Austin Reaves hugging him from behind and then being upgraded after review to a flagrant.

Weird way for the refs to be taking care of him!

These cats either have the memory of ants or weren’t alive for any of that. People bitched about the following’s whistles:

Jordan
Kobe
Wade
LBJ
Pierce
Ginobli
AI

That’s just off the top of my head. There were plenty more.

I’m old enough to remember when he had a better whistle than Ajay Mitchell.

Double teaming him every time he has the ball, leaving other guys with wide open threes isn't a factor? Interesting take.

And getting blown out.

He’s taken more hacks to the arms and head without a call than anyone in the history of the modern game.

And generally moved through contact where smaller guys react and get calls.

He ran by him and swiped his hand, Williams didn't kick him.

OKC had the ball. SGA got a flagrant on this play



The difference between OKC and other teams is coach does not play into any ref bitching by players. You won’t find any Thunder player press clips talking about bad refs.

Last night after SGA got the flagrant, Caruso got a tech for saying something from the bench. Coach Mark immediately told Caruso “Don’t do that, I got this”.

Coach never complains about refs and never uses it as an excuse after a loss. Its why he’s respected in the industry.

SGA was asked his thoughts on the flagrant at the post game presser:

"I didn't get an explanation. But I also didn't ask. I'm not going to be able to change the call, so...

I didn't want to use it as a distraction."


When other team coaches bitch about refs they are letting their players off the hook and not holding them accountable. LA had 20 turnovers last night leading to 26 OKC points. Not a peep about that by Lakers and their head coach. His actions encourage Laker players to surround refs post game like a pack of animals on a hunt.
