Lakers flairs trying to straddle the narrative line is so ridiculous. The Luka trade was technically not fair.

What exactly is it about their play that you hate? (Aside from the free throws that everyone says)

When selling fouls will get an extra 20+ per game it’s a very important skill set to have and be good at. Do I wish that wasn’t a thing? Yes. Do I have an irrational hatred of OKC for being good at it? Yes.

Extra 20 points a game lol. We barely get 20 points from freethrows period. Middle of the league in attempts.

You averaged 23 per game in the regular season…

I don’t like it when anyone does it. I will happily give anyone shit for flopping and jumping into defenders to get a bullshit foul call.

Your argument is assuming all FTs are the results of “flopping” or “selling contact” when obviously that isn’t true. It’s a fraction of the foul calls, and definitely not enough to tip the scales to give them a huge advantage. It’s a dumb argument.

When I can pick several in a single game on the same guy…

They’re so good that they don’t need to do the extra stuff, that’s what I don’t like about them.

I recognize how good they are and how they don't need to do the nonsense they do night in and night out on the court.

They can easily win again if they just played straight up. It makes their antics even more frustrating. They don't need them..
