My bad...I've gotten you confused with thunderup. Sorry about that.
Still...playmaker.
Again, you've added nothing to the conversation. No input or opinion on basketball. All you're capable of is attempting to insult other people. Quit wasting your time.
Every conversation you have here goes like this...you say something, you get called on, you backpedal...rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.
Ive not backpedaled on anything. My opinion is what is it. I try to explain why I hold my opinion. I don't change it. Period.

If Martin is spotted up or running a backdoor he can get to the rim. Harden can do both of those things. What Harden can do and Martin cannot is beat his man on iso's and pnr sets. Harden is elite at gribble penetration and Martin, well, he is not.
Losing to Minny. Not worried!!
Dude. We are 21-5. Are you drunk?
With the softest schedule in the league and the most home games of any team in the league so far

Is that the average FT differential between OKC and their opponents ?
indeed
27-22 is the FT differential.
In 2010
No. This season. Look it up
thunderup, answer me this - do you feel that OKC gets more than average calls in their favor?
Im not thunderup, but - KD gets some favorable calls. That's not really a news flash. He's not the only player that gets those. Besides him, no. Westbrook averages 6 a game. For a guy that is THAT aggressive offensively, 6 is a completely reasonable average. Martin can draw them pretty well. 27-22 isn't a great disparity at all considering how aggressive OKC can play. You get guys like KD and RW driving and you naturally have to foul them some unless you want them getting cake lay ins and dunks.
Tony Parker has been as aggressive (or moreso) than RW during his career (paint points, FG%, etc.). He averages 4.1 FTA per game for his career. And people say that Tony flops a lot. lol
Aggressive? Yeah, they are aggressive but most of the fouls aren't even from them driving. I've seen guys get called for fouls just for being near Durant or Westfall any time they shoot.
Says a lot about how KD and co are conquering the league on a nightly basis. Yesterday was just one of those nights.
He makes 1 more trip to the line per game than Parker. Wow.
I don't think Tony really flops a lot. He just has a bullcrap move that draws fouls virtually anytime he wants, where he drives, gets a step on the defender, then jumps sideways into the defender as he goes up for the layup and gets a crapload of undeserved and-1s. It's every bit as bogus as the "swing-through" move that guys like Kobe, Durant and Timmy would use when a defender has a hand out near the ball. Thankfully the latter "foul" isn't supposed to be getting called anymore.
Anytime an offensive player initiates contact, unless the defender seemingly goes out of their way to hit their shooting arm, or shove/trip them, there should never be a foul called.
Point is, he is in the lane CONSTANTLY throughout his career and has never averaged more than 5 FTAs per game for an entire season. His FTAs have not declined in recent years, so I'm wondering if you're exaggerating the effectiveness/frequency of that move.
Parker might be in the lane constantly, but Westbrook is 2 feet above the rim quite routinely. Westbrook is in a league of his own athletically from the PG position.
So youre saying that when Dirk throws his body into the defender, then fades away (dramatically), and rises up for the shot he shouldnt get the call? Shocking to hear that from such a homer tbh.
Correct, he should not get that call.
