Eh idk. He's got incredible genetics that even his kids didnt get lol

Talent level will have them out of the league before any longevity issues come into play.

 

[shopson67]

Wow

Purple and gold is calling him...

 

[shopson67]

To be fair, Ant is probably comparing himself to Jordan.

 

[shopson67]

I mean he isn’t lying

SGA is one of the more ref-protected players in the league.

You don’t watch is all I can tell you. No one can navigate through people like he does and a foul is a foul.

 

[shopson67]

Stats ain’t backing him up.

OKC is 2nd to last in ft attempts per game while they allow their opponents to shoot the 3rd most free throws per game.

Shai is currently 2nd in the NBA, behind only Giannis.

He did say the Thunder foul constantly.

People get frustrated with great defense, everyone does.

If they called his level of fouls for Lebron, Lebron would average 40 pts per game.

If they're at the top of the league in fouls called against, he's not lying.

Give me a fn break, Shai does not get LeBron level of calls. You are delusional. Just watch, a foul is a foul.

OK, now you've revealed yourself to be the one that doesn't watch. Lebron is forced to endure more contact than most because of his strength and build. It's the old Shaq argument, the contact isn't as obvious because he can absorb it. Shai goes to the line for a loose jersey grazing his off arm.

The NBA is clearly out to support the massive market that is Oklahoma

Lebron can’t navigate through a crowd like Shai, it’s really. A dumb argument.

lol. Wow

You do know Spring Training facilities for the 40 man roster and the respective organizations minor league teams are located miles away from each other , right?

I can say I did not know this....if it's even true.

 

[dtgold88]

The Pistons coach should really get COY if we are being for real

Don't even remember if COTY has 2 winners...one each conference. If so, would tink at this point it's him or Atkinson. If 1 for both then add Daigneault (sp?).

And as a team they rank 29th in attempts. I’m also not complaining if I just got to the line 16 more times than them in the 3 games played including 32 second half fts last night.

Yes they are , one of biggest reasons was at time I was there is because they don’t want you , minors, to be influenced in any way on how the big boys are treated

And that’s where I tried to get my point across about how professional athletes train ,even tho baseball and basketball are different sports, conditioning is as important for both to prevent injury

The big boys were not watched , or made to do the things that we, minors, had to do

They were making commercials, interviews all the things you could imagine a major leaguer would be doin.

Minors were in freekin boot camp, we were so watched we were not allowed to get a ride to facility, which was a 20 minute walk, not even a bye cycle was allowed, you’d get fined or sent home

Kind of. It's may be a similar approach to what the Seahawks used when they had the Legion of Boom defense. It's the "they can't call everything" approach.

They got called for a lot of PI/defensive holding, but they got away with more because they established a style of play.

Maybe the Thunder have decided to play a more physical style on defense?

You got it Wamu
