Sunday 11/09 NBA Game Thread

[QMemphis]

I think the fact that Memphis only made 12 FGs in the last 24 minutes is what tells the story.

Again both things can be true but actually have watched the full game. The Thunder are able to defend with a different set of rules while Shai offensively is given extreme benefit.

I guess that explains Memphis' 14 straight losses to the Thunder. Hopefully the NBA refs quit conspiring against them.

Again both things can be true. But your inability to acknowledge the Thunders advantage when it comes to whistle lets me see your bias on the topic.

I understand benefits of tanking and all that, but I also wonder what these 5 rookies on the Nets will even learn, being on that team. You need some kind of competence and leadership even during tanking period.

I think thats part of the reason they have Mann and Haysmith. At least those players play consistently hard.

My bias, huh? How about your unstable relationship with reality? Memphis attempts more FTs per game this year (12th vs. 19th) than the Thunder as well as last year (5th vs. 18th).

Let me ask you a question, "Are the refs against you every game or just when you're playing the Thunder?" Or maybe even more appropriately, "Are they just against you when you lose?"
