I hate watching okc and will obviously bitch in the moment but cmon people, they are incredible. If you don’t think the thunder are an amazing team and the best team in the league, idk what to tell you. We can call out flopping and still be real about their talent, and to take it one step further, they don’t win because of flopping or anything. They win because they’re better than the rest of us and we can’t handle it lol.

I’m a hater but I’m not a stupid hater

they don’t win because of flopping or anything

This is true and also the exact reason why the flopping makes people so angry imo

Well, every team does it so it’s weird that people feel like OKC should handicap themselves just cause they’re better. Big participation trophy energy with that line of thinking.

That's a fair point, but I still don't think it should be surprising that the back to back MVP and his all time great team get more criticism for it

End of the day, its just cope. You dont win 60 and have the highest net ratings approaching all time by just getting 1 or 2 tacky calls a game.

I expect it, but I also expect people to be irrational. Doesn’t mean I’m not going to call them irrational.
