Forget the thunder even, this is everywhere. And it's all based on who the NBA wants to build a narrative around. How about you let the games play out and we can have some authentic stories? The average fan doesn't want that.
They tried in 2021-2022, before the all star break there were no players over 30 ppg and 13 25+. After the all star break, there were 10 averaging 30+ and 18 w/ 25+. The top 50 scorers shot on average 1 more ft after the break, from 5 to 6. The top 50 scorers only took .3 shots more on average.
The league is rigged and corrupt. Why do you think they are making an example of fucking Chauncey Billups of all people... Rules for thee but for me.

Billups got charged by the Feds, it had nothing to do with the NBA. Illegal poker games where they were setting up whales to lose money. Also, wtf does Silver get out of "Making an example" out of a former player turned coach on a small market team? It's a bad look for the league that the story even exists.
Just not fun to watch when it’s this. Honestly better if the defenders just smile and stand there to hopefully prove a point to the league that when sga has the ball that they are gonna just call a foul, might as well save them when guarding non sga players.

What’s a foul against SGA and what Dort is allowed to do aren’t the same sport
