[@Prodigial]

White players don't get credit for defense. You can have 2 identical players and have 1 black and 1 white and the black player will be seen as the "better defender". Old heads hate that two white Euros are the #1 and #2 and so have to peddle false narratives of them sucking at defense.

[@abdullahkaanturker4656]

Only in this 8 min video, Dort hit with his knee to Doncic's stomach, Shai hit with elbow to Doncic's face, Dort jumped into his landing spot which is called as flagrant foul many times after Zaza injured Kawhi in 2017 playoffs and here we see that as a no call. Flops of Dort has no tech call, elbow hits of Shai's has no flagrant call, Chet's push offs in the rebound fight have no call, same screening positions called Dallas as illegal screen/moving screen meanwhile OKC getting away with it again and again. I understand they push to play hard and not calling easy fouls in this playoffs but it has to be two sided. It's like this with Knicks as well. When Knicks plays hard, they are allowed to do so but when Pacers tries to do the same thing, they call the same positions as fouls. Knicks got away against 76ers and they seems like having the same treatment against Pacers. I don't know why but refs favors some teams for no reason.

[@LR-77]

They been giving up easy corner 3s so I guess they thought Luka and Kai both known for big time clutch shots (clutch 3s usually) so they said they’ll just foul their worst free throw shooter. They really just a bit lost on the defensive end against Dallas and they tryna figure it out

[@LR-77]

@Prodigial Absolutely. OKC played really dirty today. And I’m basically 100% sure that if Luka went down and got truly injured during an away game, the OKC fans would rejoice.
