No defense in this way too long regular season

SAS about to get paid more than every nfl rb and more than most of the NHL

The Lakers shot 5 more free throws than the Thunder and the Thunder only shot 16 that night. So weak for Laker fans to ever say a word about foul calls, sad really.

Your argument has no context. Teams aren't guaranteed equal amounts of free throws. Somebody grazes SGA on a shot, he's at the line. Lebron gets body-checked on a lay-up attempt, no call.

Lakers are a paint team first, bottom 6 in 3 pt attempts even with JJ at the helm. Thunder attempt 6 more 3s per game and as such will draw fewer shooting fouls. With Hartenstein back, that number will normalize a little.

Imagine how hard it is as a Philly fan, right in your backyard and not worth and early second? Pretty much passing on every Nova player was bad honestly.

He was a 1st round pick (30th overall)

Even so the Thunder lead the league in drives to the bucket. Pretty sure the bucket is in the paint. And your analysis of Shai vs LeBron in terms of getting calls is nothing more than homerism.

Drives to the basket aren't necessarily an indicator of being paint oriented. Drives to the basket include fast breaks and "run outs" which are often lightly contested if they're contested at all. You also have to consider that a guy like SGA can break down a defender and get to the basket relatively uncontested even in the half court.

The Lakers are a paint oriented team because they run their offense through AD who they have playing more like a traditional big on offense. It's why he is 2nd in FTA's behind only Giannis.

Ftr, SGA is currently 3rd in FTA's.

Josh Hart with 11, 13 and 10. That dude could play on my team anytime.

Wish the Lakers still had him....loved that guy.

And Shai will always be near the top and should be. Fouls are fouls but he doesn’t get all the calls that’s for sure.

We will see, I don’t expect many losses to teams with losing records without their best player.

Remember that team with a losing record you were pissed about losing to?

They don’t have a losing record anymore.
