their playstyle is beyond infuriating.


Playing good defense, utilizing midrange, moving the ball, being unselfish. Yeah it’s the worst. :lol:

Shai was being double and triple teamed all night and had 12 assists. People saying that’s hard to watch just don’t make any sense.
Yeah they’ve been trying to get under his feet all series. Castle finally got called for it last night.

I mean thats pretty much a given isn't it? I never bet but even I put $50 on Spurs winning Sunday.


It’s a tough call. I never expected to win both games in SA, was only hoping for one. But Wembanyama looks gassed.

This is the most minutes he’s ever played over a three game stretch and it’s showing. Dude had 4 rebounds last night. First game he had 24.

Having said that he’ll probably go off tomorrow, but only having one day between games is taking its toll.
The Spurs took a page out of the Laker playbook last night. Do whatever you can to stop Shai; double him, triple him if you have to. Just take the ball out of his hands.

Then get your balls ripped off by all the guys you leave open, and never realize what’s happening or adjust to it.
This is a very watchable game. Really enjoying watching the replay.

Turning into a whistle fest in the third but I think the refs were trying to get control of the game after it got chippy.

Loving the two heavyweights duking it out, this is some good basketball. I think either one of these teams would sweep whoever comes out of the East.

All that said: won’t be shocked at all if Spurs even it Sunday.


For sure. I was just hoping to get back home at 2-2 and we already guaranteed that so I’m happy.

The league has been around over 70 years and it took SGA to be the first guy to think about a way to minimize his own injury risk.


Wrong again:

quote:

"It was something I learned during my rehab when I was going through the foot injury, when I was trying to find ways to limit the impact on my body in 2014," Embiid told ESPN.

“I was told that every time I feel like I'm in a situation where it's going to be some type of extreme [weight] on my leg, I've got to dive or just roll onto the floor. So that's why I do it."
Hoping Arkansas can finally get past the supers. Seems like we host every year.

This is clearly a lie.

Why do y’all say it?


I’m begging y’all to educate yourselves.

quote:

Sliding or rolling after contact spreads the force across motion rather than forcing joints to absorb a hard vertical impact all at once. Players who brace awkwardly during contact are more prone to ankle rolls, knee twists, wrist injuries, and hyperextension injuries.

The idea is that Gilgeous-Alexander does not always fall because the contact is devastating. Sometimes, he may be choosing the safer landing instead of fighting physics in midair. While the visual frustrates opposing fans, the approach could help protect his ankles, knees and lower back over a long season.

How come SGA never falls in pick-up games?


The Spurs are trying to injure him by getting under his feet when he shoots. He's been falling away so he doesn't step on their feet. It's easy to spot if you look for it. His basketball IQ is on another level.

more stupid than unreasonable


The Nerd Sesh guy thinks you guys are actually insane. That would explain a lot, like rooting for Dillon Brooks and Austin Reaves while calling OKC dirty floppers.

So gtfo with your it's what all haters door just those who are pulling for the Spurs argument. I'm not either one of those.


Got it. I'm sorry I included you with everyone else. I now see that you have a unique, nuanced opinion. Have a good weekend, love you.

:lol:


Convincing argument.

Did you notice how the game thread for Knicks/Cavs was 2 pages and the game thread for Spurs/Thunder is 13?

You think that's because OKC fans are being unreasonable? There's like 5 of us. Y'all are the ones bitching constantly and running those numbers up. You're rooting for our players to get injured, but we're the bad guys for rooting for our team.
quote:

You don’t think it’s more likely that it just plain sucks and you are biased towards your own team?


The explanation is that OKC has the best record in the NBA for two straight years, they're the defending champs, and have a back to back MVP.

That's literally it. OKC fans are doing the same thing all fans do, and haters are doing the same thing all haters do. They're rooting for the underdog. It's not some new phenomenon.

How can you watch the clip below and your takeaway is that this guy sucks and OKC fans are crazy for defending him? Do your eyes work?

The one thing that baffles me to this day is why OKC fans get so triggered when someone says something bad about their team. I'll never understand it, but it's like clockwork.


First time on a sports message board?

You’d think with a name like More Sports Board, it would attract more people that actually watch and like sports. Maybe there’s a Bravo board you could post on, that’s more your vibe.
