    Pretending their team isn't stolen
    Pretending that they don't get every call from the refs because Stern has a vested interest in OKC winning enough to make people forget said theft
    The entire pussified, flopping roster of the Los Angeles Clippers.

    The Clippers must REALLY suck at flopping then, because every single stat shows that they get shafted by the refs

    Naturally. There's always people in this world who do nothing but and point the finger at someone other than themselves when things don't go their way. Something tells me you're one of those people.

    It blows my mind that noone here can see the drastic differences between the individual and team play that OKC possesses with that of some other teams and cannot seem to come to the conclusion that OKC's play individually and as a team would naturally lend itself to higher free throw attempts. I have no idea how anyone could argue this fact. Perhaps you still think OKC gets to the line too often, but how could anyone deny that they're naturally going to get there more than other teams legitimately?

    Ok, you've got your stats. Now translate them. I'll do it for you - OKC shoot 6 more FT's per game than the league average. That's 3 whistles. When you have two guys in KD and RW who play the way they do, that is completely reasonable. I don't disagree with the stats, but there's always context around stats. You can't compare OKC's rate to the league average and then not put things into context just to support your argument. On top of that, the lower the FGA #, the higher this rate is going to be. When you're fouled on a shot attempt, it's not a shot attempt for statistical purposes. Naturally, if KD and RW are going to the rim and getting hacked much more than your average NBA player, the FGA # is going to be lower and it will skew the rate even more. You've got, arguably, the most unguardable player in basketball and, arguably, the most unguardable point guard in basketball, both of which are near tops in the league in FGAs at the rim, and you want to about 3 more trips to the line per game over the average NBA team?? News flash - KD and Westbrook are far from average.


    Nothing like refuting historically potent stats with anecdotal "context".

    "But we're athletic!"

    Cha. And the NBA over the past 10 seasons has been just a bunch of Shawn Bradley wannabes.

    Do you have the ability to express a thought or are you limited to emoticons?
    Sure, check a few posts above that.

    Nearly forgot: Collison

    The Dallas Mavericks would each give their left nut to have Nick Collison on their roster at this point.

    Well, here's some numerical evidence: Westbrook is 7th in the NBA in at rim shot attempts. Needless to, #'s 1-6 are not occupied by a point guard. Athletic is an understatement. Foul him or you get dunked on, period. They foul him. Deal with it.

    For you conspiracy theorists out there, the numbers also suggest that if the Lakers get preferential treatment, it's by getting away with fouls on defense (low defensive FT/FGA) as opposed to getting iffy calls on offense.
    That makes sense, the refs have stopped gifting Bryant free throws whenever contact is made. I guess they just forward them to the Thunder.

    Bryant's old. You don't have to foul him anymore. He's slower than .

    Numbers are numbers. What a player does on the court tells the real story. Refute that fact.

    Statistical evidence suggests KD is the best offensive player in the NBA. I provided video evidence of one of the reasons that is the case. THe video also clearly shows why a guy like KD must be guarded very aggressively and often times fouled. The result of not doing either of those things is well do ented.

    Attempts at rim per NBA team:

    OKC: 24.7

    League average: 25.4

    League high - Denver: 35.1

    League low - Washington: 19.1

    Let's be honest, the beef here is with KD and Westbrook's free throw attempts. KD and Westbrook account for half of those team attempts at rim. The remaining are usually dump off for easy flushes or lay ins after the defense collapses. As I stated before, KD and Westbrook (along with Wade, James) is easily the top 2 guard combo in FG attempts at the rim.

    I rest my case. You reply with emoticons rather than any type of thought out opinion...the reason being you can't refute the statement.

    They already have one scrub named Collison, they don't need another one

    Entire team? . Martin shoots 4 a game. Beyond him there's nothing noteworthy whatsoever in terms of free throw shooting. This is all about KD and Westbrook - and if you're denying that their style of play doesn't lend itself to getting to the line a lot, you're nuts. I'm not suggesting every single foul they draw is legit. They get some freebies, and there's also some that go uncalled. In the end, they get fouled a lot and, in total, their trips to the line are legit.

    LeBron is averaging more FGA at the rim per game (6.5) than Westbrick (6.2) or Durant (5.1), yet averages the same amount of FTA per game (6.6) as Westbrick and far less FTA than Durant (8.9)...

    In fact, D-Wade also gets to the rim more often than Durant (5.5 FGA at the rim per game), yet averages about 3 less FTA per game than Durant... so-called "flopper" Blake Griffin gets to the rim more often than Durant (5.3 FGA at the rim per game), yet averages about 4 less FTA per game than Durant...

    Basically, your argument is bad and you should feel bad...

    Clearly, the players you list just aren't as "athletic" as the Thunder, since that's his rationality for everything.
