Yeah, the vibe officially shifted last night


I think it started last year when they shot the most free throws in a Finals in the last 40 years.

Dort is disgraceful

One of the dirtiest players we’ve seen in a very long time

The Rui screen in Chet turned into a joke too, on second look.

And Shai spearing whoever down low was WILD.

Go out and forcing the contact, and in that manner, was sort of shocking tbh.

And look, plenty guys walked so Shai could run. I don’t even get that annoyed at him. But we’re way past fixing this shite and the league needs to do something before people check out.

People are close to disregarding his legacy. I know OKC fans won’t care. And he won’t care. But I doubt the league wants all time greats being looked back on as jokes.

You've got to laugh at Austin Rivers running full speed into the paint, losing his balance and throwing the ball behind him for a turnover as he dives out of bounds though. That was hilarious.

This shite sealed the deal for me last year in the Finals. I still can’t believe it

Beyond pivotal game 4, he makes this shot to take the lead after a goddam WWE forearm shiver combined with the Cupid Shuffle

His legs gave out more than once out there

I was shocked when I saw he had an efficient 31. He looked terrible to me.

Holy shite I see the next evolution of drawing fouls right there.

Get a step on the defender, and do the shove with your right foot/leg between theirs and they’re tripping 10/10 times.



I have faith ball handlers won’t be allowed to push off at all soon. It’s a way bigger issue than just Shai. It’s a big talking point in every corner of the league too. The athletes talk about it at the podium, fans are losing their minds over it, and coaches have even broken down, at the podium, how defenders can’t play defense anymore.

The Lakers admittedly great defense against SGA is hurting the Thunder a bit.

Their offensive rating has dipped from 128 in the series against Phoenix all the way to 125 through the first two games of this series.

That takes them all the way from 1st among playoff teams to 1st.

So they are doing exactly what the Thunder are doing but not getting the calls?

Why wasn’t there a thread today?

Also. I tuned in to bits and pieces or Knicks/sixers and that is such a better watch than watching the stuff we had to watch last night from okc/lal

Brunson gets actually hit, and doesn’t flop:

It’s so much better of a watch.

Knicks vs Spurs would be a pretty good watch.

Silver would nut


I don’t think anyone wants to see a team from middle America v NY

Wemby v NY is a wet dream for the nba

I hate the Lakers. But OKC is flopping all over getting lame calls

Lakers do the same and get no calls
