You only get 6 fouls. They cant call everything

And the job is only harder when players are trying to bait calls

They need to be more consistent. That's the main problem.

The Thunder plays defense with the logic "they can't call everything" so they mug the shyt out of the other team and then flop on the other end. It's diabolical but it works because the refs are WWE level.

FIBA refs do a good job not falling for flops. Why can't NBA refs do it?

That’s more his game than a spot up jump shooter.

He’s a very average shooter even when he’s on.


I think dude has crazy potential but he’s very frustrating to watch. Super talented but he doesn’t play to his strengths at times in my opinion.
The man is shooting 40% from 3 on damn near 9 attempts a game and you're calling that average? Those are great numbers even for guys that are being set up shooting wide open 3s. Ant is doing a lot of his off the dribble. nikkas just be saying anything on here lol.

:what: that one ejection doesn't have any huge bearing on his status as a MVP candidate what are you talking about.

Just cuz Shai had a statement game last night for his case doesn't mean every game for other candidates is also a statement game now :dead: nobody wants that reactionary bs after every game.

Most of the season is already over, they only stand a chance if the thunder go on a losing streak at this point, Wemby directly whooping on them might help his case but that's about it

Denver losing with joker back
Pistons went around losing this past week

JB's numbers are guaranteed to go down with Tatum back anyways he wasn't gonna win it.
Talk about missing the forest for the trees :what:

This wasn't a match-up against the bum ass Pelicans or Wizards. This was a marquee match-up against one of the best teams in the league with a viable MVP candidate. The perfect showcase to augment your own MVP candidacy versus getting thrown out over a missed call. Shai's game winner hit way harder due to the fact it came against Denver, who also have a legitimate MVP candidate in Joker. The noise wouldn't have been nearly as loud if it came against a lower tier squad. All match-ups aren't the same bruh. It has nothing to do with being reactionary.

Still tryna figure out how the Pelicans have 6 guys who can damn near get a double double all in the same game and somehow still lose :jbhmm: it's amazing for fantasy league but still pretty weird
