Thursday 10/23 NBA Game Thread

sometime hart just needs to grab the board instead of swatting at it.

SGA tried to flop his way to the foul line instead of just laying it in to win the game like a normal basketball player. So bizarre.

He expects a call every time he initiates contact. It’s ridiculous.

Dude has 51 points but 22 ft attempts. Its unbelievable

By the book, SGA is technically getting fouled. BUT it's such a hard watch. It's watching the worst brand of basketball. Not enjoyable.

Umm... by the book, nearly every player driving the ball is technically getting fouled in this day and age.

Not when he pushes off, that ain’t by no book I’ve seen that’s not written by James Harden.

[RookieStar]

As a Magic fan, i endured LeWhistle and D-Flop a lot. Then i got soured on Hardens shenanigans and then watever crap this is now with Jimmy Brunson and SGA free throw mercantile.

Thats why i really cant root for these guys..

This OKC-IND justproves it.

Can’t stand SGA’s flopping. It’s incessant. It literally never stops. All he does is flop and foul-bait. It’s awful to watch. And the worst part is the NBA continues to reward it.

It's a feature not a bug. The guy has 50 points and that is what the highlights will show, not the 22 FTAs.

My problem is he pushes off on nearly every drive to create separation for his mid-range shot and nothing is called. What are defenders supposed to do?

Not only that, his teammate, Luguentz Dort, gets to play tackle football on his opponent every possession.

Welp. Mathurin and Sheppard fouled out, Nesmith fouled out in regulation and none of our 3 PGs are healthy. We officially have no guards left other than a rookie second rounder

now 26 free-throws, and also the Houston game was decided by KD fouling SGA at the end of the 2nd overtime...

[Indomitable]

Lakers should trade for Dort
Reaves for Dort

Why would OKC?

YOU HAVE NOTHING THEY NEED. PLUS Reaves wants a payday.


Dort is under contract 3 more years and is 2 years younger

Because Reaves "Is Him"

Oh this is you just being a child.


Nevermind

[OldSchoolNoBull]

Oh look, SGA getting FTs. Hasn't happened in a while.

[Wallace_Wallace]

Did the Nuggets increased their lead with Jokic on the bench? Not a bad debut for Valenciunas, hit the shots he’s supposed to hit, 8 points so far off the bench

[Jeremy Lin 7]

LOLLL 24 FREE THROWS THIS IS A JOKE

[Indomitable]

I was wondering why Ben was guarding the foul magnet before he fouled out.

[Twizlers]

Let’s see how the Nuggets can hold up during these non Jokic minutes. JVal’s first minutes

I'd say he's playing phenomenally for Jokic. The rest Jokic is going to have this year is insane. Won't make MVP numbers but who cares if your team is well rested for the playoffs.

Because those in charge are too worried about manufacturing offense and high-point totals. Refs in college and the pros reward offensive players that initiate all the contact. It’s not right.

[Patches Perry]

Thats a makeup call for the end of OT lol

SGA wasn’t fouled at the end of the first overtime. Also, if the refs called the push offs he does, he would foul out every night.

Replay showed otherwise and I was just going by the replay showing the forearm in the back, but you could be right I suppose. I'll look at the replay closer after the game.

[Nuntius]

Wait the **** up. Did they just call a timeout right as OKC was turning it over?

[ArksNetsSince99]

This refs needs to be investigated

[Memories]

24 free throws lmao!

The most unimpressive, inflated 53 point performance I have probably ever seen.

[Memories]

This refs needs to be investigated

Ref definitely bet on the Thunder.
