OKCEAL Team Six Hunts Down The Haliban! | Official Thunder (#1) vs. Pacers (#4) 2025 NBA Finals Thread

As a lax basketball watcher, I'm trying to understand this perspective. 23 had both hands on SGA's torso the whole play. Do yall consider that legitimate defense, while the the pushoff was illegal?
Nuggets and Timberwolves got screwed because biased officiating (Dort and Curruso are allowed to get extra physical and foul, however on the other end a defender doesn't have to make contact with SGA to get called for a foul)
The number of free-throw attempts isn't detailed enough to encapsulate....
The disparity on what's allowed on defense
Timing of the fouls when it comes flow/momentum/getting into bonus

The YT comments be killin that white podcaster for hating on OKC and SGA all season, ever since it was clear Jokic would lose MVP to the canuc
Case in point, in another video he said SGA played disastrous last night and downplayed his 4th qtr

Very fair and unbiased take. shyt has to have balance and you just kill the watch with the stupid shyt. It’s obvious when you don’t care about either team like 99% of people watching.
If Shai can push off like it’s football and travel, I should be able to guard him aggressively late without the baiting calls.
Did SGA even get to the line before the 4th Quarter last night?
I see people bringing up that he has 8FTs ignoring the FTs he took for technical fouls and the FTs he took when Indiana was fouling to stop clock/extend the game.
I think he drew 2 fouls while driving/shooting in the quarter. NBA fans are miserable

If the game was reffed the way this guy wanted then this series would have been over already. The physicality is an equalizer for Indy because they're actually willing to go there. Shai has to work for everything and they're even taking him off the ball more now. A few FTs is better than him just breezing everybody and getting to the basket whenever he wants.

There is a few OKC fans in this thread and maybe some Pacer fans. The rest is a mountain of haters. Dudes literally just proving the point they don't watch basketball. Whining about everything Shai does, the man just gets buckets. Never mind that Nembhard and Nesmith have been allowed to hold and foul him all game. He shot 50% for the game while being the sole focus of the Pacers defense. Every player does the off-hand push off, even the college players use that a lot.
