Shameless stuff. He ranks them from most reasonable to most egregious and a good 75% of them are Shai doing nauseating foul baiting or just falling down for absolutely no reason.

That was the cheapest, dirtiest shot of the series. That really pissed me off.

This was worse... and it wasn't even called for a foul. OKC got a 3 on this play.

You notice how Wade never fell to the floor in those clips? It is a shame on what has happened to NBA basketball.

The fact that it was SO noticeable is alarming.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Thunder likely without Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell again tonight.

Man… SGA is such a damn flopping joke. He’s too good to play like this.

Easy for me to say but he's left handed and it's his pinky I would think they could tape it and he could play?

I LOOOOVE how pedestrian FTA and OKC look without help from their 6th, 7th, and 8th man.

I LOOOOVE how pedestrian FTA and OKC look without help from their 6th, 7th, and 8th man.

But those guys will be back for Game 7 in OKC. Count on it.

 

[Russ Smith]

I love Dylan Harper but you could argue this year if they had taken Knueppel they'd be even better offensively but not as good defensively?

Knueppel starting instead of Champagne would be scary. But I think the reason Harper is the right pick is DeAaron Fox. With his ankle issues possibly being recurring(he had some ankle issues with Sac too) you can argue that having Harper as an heir apparent is the right move

I've never seen a team more reliant on the refs. I am not saying the league rigs it for them, I am saying the refs are bad and OKC utterly relies on them making bad calls by flopping at every single opportunity.

And what makes it really revolting is that they're simultaneously the dirtiest team in the league on defense... dudes taking cheap shots, Dort is out there rolling up legs and diving through knees, they're pulling hair, they're stomping on feet.

Just pathetic trash. It's embarrassing to watch.

He does this stuff all the time... it's disgusting. You'd think he's the least coordinated player to ever play the game, even someone NEAR him causes him to go completely off balance.

If they play a team that is near their talent level and the refs don't give him whistles on this complete nonsense... they lose.

He's a great offensive player and to have built his game almost entirely around tricking the refs into awful calls is pathetic.

 

[leclerc]

I played basketball growing up. Just an average guy, nothing special, but I never flopped or foul baited. Cannot remember that was a thing in the nineties, at least not in Norway and basketball. It's not that common in (Norwegian) football (soccer) either, at least that is my impression. What this OKC team is doing is truly disgusting on both ends. Flopping and dirty play. Hope they lose. Trash team.

 

[leclerc]

Not a fan of Harden either, that scores maybe half or 1/3 of his career points on pull throughs and FTs and this Shai guy is even worse. Please land on your feet. Use your legs young man. There are kids around the world watching. This is not the way to play sports. This is not an idol.
