    Food stamps from the league, fake tough players, en led meth-head fans, and the fake squeaky-clean image of Durantufactured promoted by Media despite how he's a ref-reliant crybaby beta, tbh.... it's also annoying how other players get called out for their flops but Durbeta gets a pass for his cheap-ass rip-through move....

    I think they're extremely talented... which makes it just ridiculous to see the amount of help they get.

    Durant is an absolute beast, but halfway through the season he has over 120 FTA more than Lebron? Over 100 more FTM than the next guy (Harden)? Ridiculous.

    And it's not just dominos, their defense reminds me a lot of the '08 Celtics. Moving screens galore (probably something Perk brought with him). They get away with a lot of crap, especially at home.

    As a result, their games are borderline unwatchable (unless you're a OKC fan, I guess). There's little mystery on a close game when you know the rip-through will rear it's ugly head.

    tbh, it's not even because they're good (and they are), because Indiana, the Heat, they all have more or less unlikeable players, but neither of those teams get the amount of help OKC does.

    Oh, and Sonicsgate made them extremely unlikeable even before Durflop became the league's golden boy, chief foodstamp recipient and manufactured superstar

    agree with this and other points on Sonicsgate, having a team with Chimpbrook, Fisher and Perkins on the same team. They are easily the most annoying team that I recall, but it's ultimately the en lement and food stamps that piss off fans. I felt the same way about Kobe during their championship runs, yeah he was a piece of but the worst was the coddling by refs. Some players, for whatever reason, you can't lay a finger on. This and excessive FTs ruin the flow and energy of the game.

    Also, how does Perkins and his Xenomoroph grill not get T'd up more for always staring down the refs.

    Nailed it.

    I had league pass a couple years back and chose the Thunder as one of my 5 teams. Huge waste of money.

    It's the same playbook... take a guy that's clearly talented, and try to manufacture a superstar. Durant is riding it in style though, it's not really his fault.

    That said, he's is probably the only guy I can remember that forced the league to change the rules because that cheap rip-through move is so egregious and getting widespread. But without relaxing hand-checking rules you really can't stop it.

    At least now he waits until his team is in the bonus... like I said, without changing hand checking rules, it's not going away...

    I really don't think they go far in the playoffs.

    They beat the Spurs in 2012 when we choked. Then they choked against Memphis last year (even with Westbrook out, how did they lose that series?). I think OKC chokes a lot when it matters.

    They easily have the most unlikable group of players (Westbrook, Ibaka, Perkins, Fisher, Reggie Jackson) and Durant's free throw gifts are unbearable. That being said, they're a great team. Unless the Spurs get their together, I see OKC making the Finals.

    This or unless the Grizzlies make the finals and Westbrook can't get back in time.

    Their quick ascendency to being a top team is annoying, but that criteria applies to all teams (like GS for example). They're talented as and they receive a favorable whistle on 99 out of 100 nights. They also have the most hideous looking creatures donning that uniform.

    Is there any non-OKC fan that could reasonably make the argument that the Thunder don't receive a shocking amount of ref assistance?

    The only "argument" would be the typical "stop being a sore loser, he earns his free throws!" from the gullible morons who think this isn't rigged

    Do people who "respect" Durant count? Because I hear it all the time in my hood ol' sport

    It is really shameful that a 7 footer who already hasna length height advantage over everyone would need to do that move.

    Honestly, Durant is a class act. I think its Westbrook that makes everyone hate the organization.

    They need the help because the league had to justify the move.
