Ant will never reach Kobe’s level with being this passive. Kinda pathetic to be honest.

Shai didn't grab Rudy's arm with his off arm ?

Rudy did foul him, though. You can't reach across with your off-hand when someone is driving into you.


they weren't gonna call it though unless Shai did something about it. lets be honest.

If Minnesota played Shannon over Conley they would be winning this game.

They were a +31 with him on the court in the first 3 games.

They definitely should address Shai’s way of pointing that out to the refs.

I'm not even mad at SGA. He's flippin' great... it's the refs and the league that I have a problem with. Every one hand checks these days but SGA gets more rip through calls than anyone else. As I type this, Randle got hacked the same way by Dort but didn't get the same whistle. It makes me hate the league.

It's disgusting knowing if you don't take a dive like a fish out of water you don't get calls. I'm a Raptors fan and Scottie Barnes doesn't flop and he is strong so he is out of luck. They should hire him an acting coach so he score more points. That is what this has come to now. Don't drive to score, drive to take a dive or hook the defenders arm.

Minny should feel good being down only 8. That was probably OKC best half in the POs.

Perfect example of what I’m talking about actually. One step away from starting an SGA burn book.
