An awareness that since you know you are going to be rewarding FTA’s flops, you have to be consistent and call similar stuff the other way too otherwise it will look too weird

Le'ts just be honest about Minnesota. When you are paying that much for a center you have a ceiling. They are trying to get around that albatross contract.

Should I start talk about how Timberwolves now have the home court advantage? We could be down 0-2 but we just need to win one away game and we win the series :lol:

I think the foul was on Rudy for... existing?

SGA really gets a different rulebook. Wild stuff.

Only problem is Boston might be hamstrung by being over the second apron.

The team is built to weather 3 maxes (2 rookie and the super max starting two seasons after this coming one) by churning draft picks to replace role players.

Wiggins locked up four years. Dort and Hart are cap casualties in a couple years.

This could be a trap though. Dort and Hart type players might be more valuable than a Jalen Williams max contract in this new CBA. Like, these super role players are what makes OKC a juggernaut, and finding players like that is always harder than it looks.

Luckily OKC has insane draft capital, so they have a better chance and finding those players than anyone...

Can't really blame McDaniels...you play like SGA does and you're going to get some players that just get sick of the BS.

How the hell is this a fun product for NBA when 1 team gets mugged and the other they get a foul by breathing on their neck. smh

Worst WCF to watch since idk when. One team shouldn’t even be here and the other teams player is the new age James Harden. I’ll never hope a player who’s game incorporates flopping to the max wins a championship

It didn’t get called on Rudy, got called on the defender behind SGA

Who wins?
