It’s all about the court of public opinion.
Won’t matter in the least, and I honestly hate saying that. What Karl Malone did was horrible, he’s still getting awards.

That is a disgusting excuse to lose a game by 44 where your top 4 players all played

Losing by 44 isn't acceptable for the pistons so why would it be for the Lakers
Not when those 4 players would play a key part in.....I don't know....

Defense?

Take you for instance. You have this opinion that the OKC organization is beyond reproach and the model of virtue. That narrative is now on life support.

But you got lit up by the likes of Pat Bev Marcus Morris and Mo Bamba. Bamba and Bev came in with a chip on their shoulders because the Lakers quit on them.

Does Bogut work for TMZ? He’s the guy who says the Thunder have known about this for some time. How did they respond when notified? Did they take his word for it? Did the inform the league to look for guidance in how to proceed? Did they investigate the situation?

Those are the questions. If you think there is going to be a big thing with The Thunder you are going to be disappointed.

The Sixers lost some bull dog attitude when Tucker left. Neither Tucker nor Pat Bev are going to give you strong basketball contributions that can be measured in a box score but they bring a relentless approach to being a teammate which can’t be measured. That stuff only goes so far. Tucker was a bull dog in the Celtics series but when the series turned with Mazz lineup change for Games 6 and 7, they made Tucker be a shot maker and he can’t do that anymore.

Exactly and do you know how hard it is to lose by 44. It is just a lame ass excuse. Same bullshit excuse he used when Houston destroyed them as well

I think the NBA is incentivized to do what they can to make it go away. But you’re also battling that assumption. The court of public opinion is a bitter bitch that can turn on a dime. The absence of information can often become damning in and of itself.

Yeah. That’s right. I forget the opponent so I couldn’t cite it but we are only like 17-18 games into the season and they’ve already gotten boat raced in embarrassing fashion twice.

The Heat just went toe to toe with a healthy bucks team without 3 starters including jimmy and tyler lol yeah you can miss me with the bs thay philly won by 44 only because some rotation guys were out lol. Cam Reddish may not even be in the rotation if they are ever at full strength

I know one thing, Pat Bev will go to lengths few will to win. Not real talented but he makes up for a lot of that with shear determination.

Nope. Lakers were handled easily Monday night, no excuses. I'm just not hitting the panic button like the media seems to be doing.
I agree withh this take. I think they're a good team

This social media crap is just that, a professional organization is not going to be swayed by it in the least.
