Never understood this criticism of getting to the foul line. All the great players live at the line. With the exception of a few players. It's a skill and he creates and seeks out contact. Which is what you're supposed to do. I don't remember all this foul merchant BS back in the day

The Shai/OKC heel turn starting early





If the Knicks make the Finals and they become social media's baby faces vs those allinthecamera post game interviewing prison ball playing thugs led by their foul merchant kobe-wannabe Canadian... cotdamn,

I am rooting for OKC and SGA to go all the way, the jokic stans and white supporters clearly have an agenda against SGA because he had the audacity to rightfully outplay him in the regular season and be the mvp and then kick him out of the playoffs. Would love to see them eat crow all the way. Go OKC!

Facts, they play just like NFL CBs

LOB Seahawks shyt

I think there's a difference between drawing fouls in the normal flow of play and intentionally seeking contact to get to the foul line when you really aren't trying to shoot/score.

OKC defense has been unreal this playoffs

Can’t play the sidelines
Can’t operate at the top of the key
Can’t dribble too long

They got it right now

The ball isn’t moving fast enough in my opinion. Same thing happened with Denver

One of my boys got one of the Meta VR headsets and got League Pass, said it was a great experience. I can't do that shyt, those headsets give me a headache and vertigo

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley ‘having a ball’ in quest to make first NBA Finals

SAN FRANCISCO – Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr. danced after his pregame workout on the Chase Center floor as the Golden State Warriors’ deejay D-S…

Just as I feared, the real conference finals might have been denver okc series.

Minnesota were barely leading the game with Shai having bad 1st half. And for a young team like OKC that denver series gave them much more confidence than Wolves beating no front court having ass LA and GSW.

SGA has finally reached stardom, now starts the various agendas. Bill and them never talk about how a guard who doesn't attack the basket nearly as much as he does, Luka, has the same type of FTAs. Like why would Tatum, who shoots more than 50 % of his shoots from downtown have the same amount of FTAs.

People aren't attacking the basket as he is and are not as quick as he is. But also seems to have very high iq on how refs operate and uses that to his advantage, mixed with some flopping.

People wanna cook it down to like 1 factor when in reality it's a mix of very many factors.
When you constantly attack and also want to draw fouls, you will get more of them, like attacking big guys Embiid and Giannis who have been dominating FTAs the previous years. AI, Kobe, Dwade, and them all had the same thing.

All of that is well and good. But you shouldn't be falling over yourself drawing fouls

They got so happy calling fouls in his favor. They had to reverse an obvious challenge when he clearly tripped over his own feet
