OKC highlights

I've seen the very same kinds of videos about Lebron.

It's pretty close.

I know it's still definitely fashionable to hate on LeBron but man, if he shot even half as many FT's as SGA, his PPG average would be literally unbeatable

@Tw3ek I think you forget just how much Taiso hates Lebron

Not even remotely, that first part was thrown in there just for him haha

 

[Taiso]

All I'm saying is that for Lakers fans, of all people, to dare to call another flopper worse than Leflop is rich. If anyone ever DIDN'T need to occasionally engage in theatrics, it SHOULD be James.

I mean...all that old bitch is playing for now is longevity. And in flopping, no one has pile up a bigger quantity of them than him over the years.

He’s basically Skip Bayless

 

[Hattori Hanzo]

Huge win without OG.

cavs just disappeared in the playoff they might as well go for a rebuild . Spida Too soft as leader .
Fox might be expendable for the spurs. His chemistry with wemby is not as good as the younger castle and Harper .

 

[100proof]

I mean if you're going to complain about the Lakers and fouls, Luka is among the worst offenders in the league. That motherfucker spends more time whining to the refs than he does playing basketball.

At least he’s trying to shoot when he flops. SGA is fucking Monday Night Raw. Luka , Harden and Embid it’s exaggerated but it’s some form of contact. SGA is on some paranormal activity shit

The Cavs have vanished and the Reds are on a 10 or 11 game losing streak. Does somebody in a high place have it in for the state of OH?

You're not wrong, but I'd also argue that complaining to the refs is also different from straight up flopping, even if both are annoying

At the end of the day, it's all the same shit: dudes trying to manipulate refs into giving them calls they don't deserve. Not trying to excuse SGA, Harden, Embiid, etc. who do it with soccer-style flopping and flailing. That shit's weak and the league should retroactively punish players who do it egregiously to curtail it.

Just saying that maybe a dude who's already a known negative on D should spend less time crying to the refs after every play and more time getting back on the other end (and, more broadly, that Lakers fans need to shut the fuck up until the end of time about preferential refereeing).

 

[Hattori Hanzo]

First flopping yellow card
Second flopping red card

My 2 (football) cents.

But what am I gonnna do with all these fun SGA memes?

 

[Taiso]

The Lakers are fags.

But at least they aren't the Nuggets.

 

[dollfucker+]

Didn't see the game but I saw an amusing compilation of Thunder defenders sidestepping Lakers players trying to bowl into them/kick their legs out/etc. to draw fouls and then the Lakers players bitching about not getting a call. I know SGA is a master foul-baiter (lol) but this should be the new defensive strategy moving forward to clown these assholes.

got a link?

 

[100proof]

got a link?

Nope. Don't remember where I saw it. Probably the nba subreddit or one of the discord channels I'm on.

Lakers lost by 23 at home and shot 15 more free throws tonight. It's almost like all that whining was irrelevant... they were getting boatraced regardless.

 

[Hattori Hanzo]

It's not over but rip Sixers.

 

[100proof]

Can't believe the Wiz got the first pick. They always get dicked when there's generational players in the draft.

 

[wataru330]

Jeebus Herbert Monte Cristo.

4-nil sweep?!

My lucky 6ers hat, is now my *unlucky* 6ers hat. We crying crocodile tears in the 215/484/610.

 

[Fygee]

Seeing the Lakers whine about ref calls now that they're not going their way for a change is just awesome.

OKC sweep is a lock. They haven't just beaten the Lakers every game, they've won easily.

Spurs and Timberpups are tied 2-2.

Pistons are up 2-1. I honestly don't see either team being the Knicks, but we'll see.

Pacers got super boned in the Draft. They were one of the worst teams this season, and since their pick was top-4 protected and went 5th, they have absolutely jack and shit for 1st round picks.
