Comment on NBA Playoffs: West Conf. Finals - May 28, 2026
scytale@piefed.zip 2 days agoyou guys are crying about OKC defense being too physical.
Nope, not me. OKC’s physical defense was already expected. Any NBA fan knows that facing OKC meant you’re gonna be in for a hard, physical series. What people were complaining about is the flopping on the other end, and the specific dirty shit they were pulling (foot stomp, hair pull, etc.). Hell, nobody was complaining in game 1 because the refs let them play.
That is relevant.
Again, the elbow was the first time he did anything dirty. Until there is a pattern from him specifically, I will reserve judgement. OKC can’t say the same.
you are part of it
Like I said, I don’t care about OKC’s physicality. I just want them to quit flopping, and having their cake (allowed to be physical on defense) while eating it too (getting an easy whistle on offense).
Hysteria has blinded you
Says the guy who’s calling out all the Spurs’ physicality while completely ignoring OKC and their history. I’m not blind, I see how the Spurs are pushing back on the physicality and roughing them up. OKC just needs to cut the dirty shit and the flopping, and this will be an even greater series.
I don’t care if the Spurs lose at the end, they already overly exceeded expectations and I’m sure they’ll be right back at it next season.
SGA is no doubt one of the best players in the league right now. He doesn’t need to be flopping and falling every time he shoots.
Anyways, see you on the next game thread.
