Dude, it's literally tiring replying to you. Those are fouls. Earlier in the series you guys are crying about OKC defense being too physical. If anything Spurs are as much if not more physical. I see the fouls and they are being called fairly evenly or they are not called at all. You are too biased to see the fouls being committed both ways. Spurs' guards are way bigger and more athletic.
It's the same player regardless of the series. Wemby is showing himself to be a dirty player. It's the same organization, and Pop is VERY MUCH still the grand-daddy in current Spurs' org. He's still the patriarch. When he came into the locker room after game 5, he had the doors locked and HE held sway in there like he's the godfather, over the head of current head coach. That is relevant.
I sorta like both SGA and Wemby. I am growing a dislike for both Spurs and OKC. I don't give a shit if either team goes down. But there is one sided hysteria that's diabolical and you are part of it. I am sitting here in disbelief how overblown and one-sided this is. Go ahead hate OKC. But there is no realism in the current views, yours and across the social media. Hysteria has blinded you. There's no use talking to a cult member. I'm out.
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.
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.
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).
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.
