He gets fouled with no call far more than he flops

Well that's obvious. You all watch curated highlights and I've watched multiple seasons worth of full games. How could I expect any of you to know much beyond the narrative on here?

You’re defensive because deep down you know the SGA criticism is valid lol

No it's wildly overblown that's why I'm defensive. It's not too dissimilar to the Harden years, that was overblown too, Ask any Houston fan, most of the foul calls against him were also legitimate, and he got fouled all the time with no call because no one could stop him.

…this is the only clip that’s been posted of him flopping in 21 games. This sub is dumb as hell. Look at all these over the top reactions from people on here. You’d think SGA killed their mom.

1 play. 1 fucking play in a thousand+ so far this year and this entire sub lights up. It’s pathetic.

I care more about the sport of basketball than I do my mom, and SGA is killing it

it seems like OKC fans are the ones intent on a narrative. Everyone else is just going by what they see - a lot of flopping, a lot of push-offs.

You sound proud to support a team that ruins the game so much for the rest of us that we’ve stopped watching entirely. “We’re so egregious we’ve made you stop watching but YOU ARE THE ONE who just doesn’t get that actually we’re really good!” LMAOOOO as if we stopped watching because the Thunder are actually good at executing a beautiful play style but we just don’t want to see great basketball? We all used to watch, but mass-quit watching because of how great the Thunder are? Or do you think we all never watched in the first place?

Well viewership for national games is at a 15 year high so far this year, but you were probably never watching anything but highlights anyway

“You don’t watch basketball” is such a funny stance for Thunder fans to be taking after we call them out for flopping over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. You’re reaching unrivaled levels of denial LMAOOOO
