[Lowlight] Julian Champagnie hesitates on the three-pointer, allowing Isaiah Joe to sell the flop
Call what Reggie?? There was nothing to fucking call
Reggie is legitimately insufferable. I hate listening to him and his bullshit so much, it’s made me hate him even as a player.
Remember when he got so audibly upset at the refs not giving Chet an and 1 that Tirico just started laughing at him?
Yes, what was that about? Does hate the Spurs or he just loves flopping?
When they were plying the Hartenstein holding reel and Reggie said “It’s so fun to see these vet moves”. Sends a horrible message to casual fans who might not know holding is a bitch move (despite how many bigs do it)
Those dirty tactics were huge when Reggie played. He used to push defenders into the off ball screen , hold guys on defense , sell the foul. For everyone who says Rodman was the best defender , watch his actual games (not highlights) , he perfected the art of getting ‘tangled up’ with an offensive player. Reggie came from a different era. Winning at any cost.
He’s my least favorite commentator. He is so fucking dumb. I hate his god damn voice.
I’m okay with his voice. I hate the words that he says tho.
He’s such a company man.
I loved Reggie as a player. One of my all-time faves.
I fucking despise him as a commentator.
Him trying to get Mr Chaos off the ground is making my ears bleed
Reggie was an OG flopper. That dumbass leg kick and fall was the primitive version of this hyper-advanced, next gen, floppage.
Flop respects flop lol
it’s cruel and unusual punishment that he does so many knicks games in the regular season
Glad he never got a ring
It’s oppitsite of Stan van gundy. Stan is kinda overly critical, it’s just not fun to listen to negative stuff the whole game. But at least he’s correct about it!
Reggie has this weird toxic positivity thing where he has to admire everything, even when it’s clearly dirty or lame or anything.
I miss Jeff
I agree
He talks too much, doesn’t let the play breathe if that makes sense
Y’all still not realizing the announcers are told not to question officiating at all. Why Doris got the axe.
Reggie says shit that’s dumb as fuck regardless of reffing. He doesn’t get that grace because he’s just ass in every part of the job.
silver linings
OKC type shit
The Spurs need to very publicly submit a tape to the league office.
Hate that about Mitch, he talks about protecting his players but bro doesn’t wanna send the tapes or complain to the league and letting them get abused
I guarantee spurs send tapes to the league like everyone else does
Mitch said they don’t
That’s insane and I dont believe it
It’d be a weird thing to lie about and it’s not like he complains like the other coaches either lol
He actually doesn’t complain at all, even during the wolves series he didnt complain about the reffing he only stood up for Victor.
Or tactical, because it would be know to refs he’s complaining about them
Finch does this and everybody hates him for it lol
They are who we thought they were
It really feels like OKC have become a team of rage baiting teenagers who giggle in the locker room about how hilarious this shit is. And I get flopping has happened for years, but usually its one player on a team or an infrequent occurrence at most for others.
OKC is 24⁄7 “get down Mr. President” … As fans of other teams its just obnoxious to watch. We watch for big moments like Wemby splashing a logo 3, not to watch dozens of free throws awarded for phantom fouls. The league is selling a product, which is watching immensely talented players demonstrate their craft against eachother. OKC flopping is like cheating at Monopoly, even if you get away with it no one respects you afterwards.
Why would Barnes one inch punch him like that?
didn’t you see, he has a fucking gun pointed at him!! Joe just tried to avoid it.
Barnes was like shoot the ball you know they are going to flop for calls…
This flopping is pathetic, it’s quite literally everyone on their team
At least they’re not fouling on the other end, like holding down Wembys arm on every play to make them look like bigger losers.
and even if they did there’s no way they’d resort to something completely non basketball like pulling hair.
and even if this happened, if a ref was looking directly at it he’d definitely call a foul
and even if all of that happened, it’s not like they’re an unwatchable group of clowns falling down after every jumpshot for no reason at all.
And with all of that said, it’s not like the whole league will just let it slide, heck even their own fans would call them out if they’re being dirty themselves
At least with the prime warriors it was JUST Draymond. When your superpower is Steph, it feels earned.
When flopping is encouraged 1-9, its so lifeless.
Thats what these trash OKC fans dont get. They think people hate them cause “they’re on top”. No, everyone wanted you to lose last year too because your team is a bunch of pussies. No one said this shit about Denver. Warriors had Dray but Steph has one of the worst whistles in the league. No one said this about Bron’s teams. Your team is the direct reflection of how much of a bitch Adam Silver is.
And like I get it, living in OKC is punishment enough. But why are we rewarding them for that? This team is talented enough to win a Championship enough on their own, why ruin the game like this?
Are they? They don’t beat you or the Pacers last year without an INSANE whistle and lack there of on defense. They aren’t beating this Spurs team without it. They are a second to third round team with a proper whistle.
Indiana probably wins if Halalburton didn’t go down
Indiana wins if refs don’t pull an all timer in game 4
Caliber? Absolutely.
Beating us or/and Indy last year without the whistle or healthy players? Def not.
Nobody hated Milwaukee either, hell we lost to them in the finals and I just had to appreciate what Gianis did. I didn’t think it was unwatchable bullshit.
100% - we have ABSOLUTELY seen better and more dominant teams, more ‘hateable’ teams on the surface, but no one despised them like this because the issue is the style of play.
the warriors are one of my least favorite teams but the only flopper on that team is podz, who wasn’t there for the championship run. draymond commits lots of flagrant fouls, but he isn’t sneaky dirty the way dort is, or a flopper like SGA. he tries to inflict pain but doesn’t try to hide it
Wait what? I thought y’all hated draymond for being dirty, not flopping.
We hate draymond for plenty of reasons dont get it twisted
is it that he flops and flails around when he kicks people in the nuts and steps on their chest and hits them in the side of their head?
What kind of victim blaming is this when Champagnie has someone throw themself towards his feet, so he steps aside to shoot his 3 uninterrupted and thats a somehow a mistake on his part? These commentators are just horrible
Their reactions to the compilation of Holdenstein “defense” was just embarrassing
There was a play where Cason Wallace shoved Castle to the floor, and the commentators said they were surprised they didn’t call the foul on Castle, while the replay was showing him get pushed
Hell he basically wrapped him up like an NFL tackle lol
The worst was they were trying to frame it has “he’s frustrating Wemby”. No, he’s fucking fouling him. It takes zero basketball skill to grab and hold someone like that in a basketball game.
It’s a subtle nod to the increasing risk of getting a foul called on them the longer a possession goes. They should be chucking it up and slowly backing away from Thunder players with their hands up whenever they touch the ball over half-court, just to be safe!
You hit the nail on the head
Normalizing the flop.
I don’t think it’s even remotely conspiratorial at this point to just admit commentators have been strictly commanded to sell the narrative. And the narrative is that the refs are never wrong, but occasionally they are a little wrong when OKC doesn’t get their way. It’s so obvious at this point. I was watching a game in which (as usual) a player took 6 or 7 steps and no travel was called. The announcer said something like “a nice move that wasn’t a travel.” Like. No one said it was. The fact that you went out of your way to defend the league’s apathy about rules means you KNOW full well it was a travel. It’s getting really hard to watch NBA but it’s all I have until college ball comes back in November.
Can’t challenge it because the Refs already forced the Spurs to burn both! Worst officiated half I’ve ever seen and i’m not even being hyperbolic
Seriously why do we even have flopping technicals if this isn’t a tech?
Why can’t this be automatically reviewed? What is happening.
Shouldn’t lose a challenge when it’s successful
Yeah. OKC fans will complain that it’ll make their games 5 hours, but honestly fuck that let them suffer.
Never understood why a team gets punished for correctly calling out the ref
Exactly! Losing challenge when succesfull is fucking idiotic
So he CAN keep getting away with it 😭
This is why Tony brothers and crew can’t ref OKC playoff games. He gives too much credit to “vet” teams over up and coming teams
It’s night and day difference between game 1 and this game with a Tony Brothers crew. This is terrible
What does the city of Oklahoma City even offer to the United States?
definitely not literacy
they receive federal aid with the taxes me and you pay in california my friend
On the plus side, they make sure that goes to oil companies and not the people.
Try the entire state
Entire state is a shit hole. Watching basketball and college sports is the only thing they have to look forward to.
They constantly give oil companies free reign of their state while charging them squat
Republican voters
i mean, look up how they got the name Sooners. it’s in their blood xD
Pre-K education system (it was legit a great development in the 2010s)
Classic OKC. Genuinely one of the most vile teams I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching.
No you don’t understand theyre not liked because theyre too successful. Even though they have no where near the amount of sustained success to support that.
You just dont watch the games obviously
It’s funny because watching the games would expose you to how great of a whistle they have meanwhile their players can apparently just keep on holding/pulling someone’s jerseys or arms constantly and then someone can flop literally in front of a ref and they’ll call an offensive foul in favor of OKC.
But I’m sure they’ll say the refs are just being fair and letting both teams play physical lmao
And the Spurs can’t challenge because they WON TWO CHALLENGES in the first quarter after this refs asterclass
Assterclass is right
Harrison Barnes is just standing there. Pathetic that even the scrubs on OKC get these types of calls.
I’ve been saying this since last years playoffs, it’s not what whistle SGA gets, it’s that everybody is getting the superstar whistle, Dort, Caruso, now Hartstain and Joe.
SGA isn’t even the biggest flopper on their team. It’s Chet easily. Dude spends half the game on the floor
He acts like he gets hit in the face so much that when he does actually get hit my first reaction is “stop selling like a bitch”
Refs just need to stop the game and review when they can’t see something like this. Immediate ejection with a flop, takes 30 secs to review
It’s so funny how all the Thunder flairs have fucking vanished the past few days lmao.
Embarrassing. Fucking sweep these bozos Wemby.
Whole team of floppers, not even just on shots, on rebounds, on box outs, middle of the floor doing nothing. I swear these mfers practice this shit LOL
Absurd flop
This shit is actually pathetic. Refs need to be fired.
The OKC sub is delusional , they all were yelling “finally!” When they called this lol
And the Oscar goes to…
This is an egregious flop
This the type of shit that makes OKC so hard to root for even though I’m rooting for my fellow Canadians.
Remember that a thunder flair will gaslight you and spill whataboutism
Should’ve never been called at all even with him hesitating, how the hell you fall for that weak flop as a ref
This clear flop combined with 2 successful spurs challenges and the compilation of Hartenstein holding Wemby they keep showing makes watching this a rough watch
Game 1 was phenomenal but this just feels like trying to artificially make it a back and forth series
OKC going 0-2 on the road to San Antonio wasn’t in the league’s interest. Hopefully we get better officiating now and the Spurs can go 3-1 after their two home games.
Spurs will win game 3 to go up 2-1 and then they’ll bring Foster in game 4 to keep it tied just like the finals last year.
Ok like whats the point of having a flopping technical if this isn’t a tech
I’m full blown conspiracy theorist man. how do the announcers not respond to that at all and continue to blame Champagnie for dribbling? Also, Joe flopped right where into Champagnie’s landing space would’ve been.
Fkng crazy flop
You get a whole ass replay and Jamaal and Reggie still want to blame the call on Champagnie not shooting the ball instead of the egregious flop. Smh
OKC is fucking trash.
Remeber for 2 weeks when they called techs on flopping
That’s crazy and no more challenges for the spurs.
That seals my nominee for the 2026 NBA Fallon d’Floor
Dear thunder fans,
There is no conspiracy here as to why every other neutral fan hates this OKC team. You’re witnessing why with your own eyes.
Notice how none of them are here
Not being able to handle valid criticism of your team is pretty wack
yOu JusT hATE tHeM CuZ thEY’rE suCCEsSfUL
Wow that is a crazy ass flop. LMAO
The last few minutes of both the 1st and 2nd quarter were made nearly unwatchable due to the refs. They seem to be letting them play for the most part and then suddenly calling everything, foul or not, and seemed to be extremely one sided for those stretches. Wemby had to get bailed out of two fouls by challenges because Brothers is so bad at his job. I don’t normally complain about refs, in fact, this might be the first time I ever have in this subreddit, but this shit is terrible to watch.
And OKC fans will eat this kind of basketball
Most unlikable team in recent memory. Just insane levels of flopping and other bullshit.
I dunno, starting to think NBA history at this point. I’ve never seen 31 teams so united in calling out this bullshit. I just wish the media would pick up on this instead of dick tickling OKC
Fire Tony Brothers. Let him run for mayor early
League is such ass.
Are these referees blind cunts or just plain cunts. Are they not seeing Wemby is practically forced to play with one arm as Hartenstein keeps dry humping his other arm?
OKC will go down as one of the least enjoyable champs to ever watch
Horrible (to watch) flop
someone needs to replace Reggie ASAP
That’s actually wild
Should get fined for a flop
the absolute audacity to blame Barnes for the flop. fuck floplahoma
I think the Spurs are the only team that can expose OKC for the floppin ass hoes they are like this
Fuck Mark Daignealt so much. Seriously how do these players even take pride in their craft. Fake ass manufactured success right here
If video reviewers can retroactively rule a 3 a 2 I don’t know why they can’t retroactively rule a foul a flop.
Take a team foul away and erase any ft points. Not that hard.
This is why nobody likes OKC.
should change it from the okc thunder to okc floppers at this point
Wonder why Champagnie has been so hesitant on all the 3s he’s gotten today. So weird
I really don’t like these guys
Blows my mind that anyone can watch this team full of floppers and bitches and want to give support. Then I look at the education rankings and it all makes sense.
The league should grow some balls and start issuing retroactive punishments for this shit.
wemby please save basketball
Barnes with the unc strength flicking Joe away
Egregiously shameless.
what the fuck is this?
OKC is the worst watch in the league man. Insane to fully commit to just straight up fouling Wemby every defensive possession and then go on offense and do this. Robbing us of an all time series.
I hate OKC more than I hate anything.
This might be an all time flop, fucking hell
To quote the bill simmons sub. “This shit is unwatchable.”
I’m tired of these flopping betches.
Fuk OKC.
Disgusting behavior
Reggie miller is a bum announcer fr
If OKC wins this series and the finals then the terrorist win
Their entire team is perfectly coached to be as soft as possible
Tony brothers is retiring he’s just getting his bets to hit
The thunder are purposely being cunts right?
OKC is so shameless. Like this is just horrible basketball. Who the hell likes watching a team flop to try and get unearned fouls?
On defense it’s “they can’t call all of them” as well as “they will call some of them” lol
haram ball
pathological pump-faker
everyone wants spurs in 4
who called it? didn’t even look like tony brothers who was closest to the play did?
was it tiven that did? cause that ref is also a hack
Flopkohoma Shitturds
Man, shit like this makes basketball so tough to watch at times. So fuckin’ corny.
Pathetic
What happened to flopping being a technical foul
Like Julian had anything to do with that flop or terrible foul call.
Just fuckin disgusting
this is actually hilarious and maddening
Every highlight of OKC doing dumb shit is already deleted by the time I get to it
Tony Brothers is a star. Let the star shine!!
RIDICULOUS!
Honestly the refs should just assume okc is flopping and not give them anymore calls.
HB grabbed Joes arm slightly (not at Hartenstein levels) and as a result he tripped over his own feet
Barnes : 🧍🏾♂️
Could have killed him /j
OKC has no shame.
I’ve seen enough, 2 free throws for SGA to start game 3
Until they start calling flops everyone should be mimicking okc and just be on the floor all game
Look at who calls that shit too. Just a guessing call from Tony brothers.
Why are the commentators acting like this behaviour is okay?
I blame Barnes, the flop was so egregious and he acted like he was guilty
What a flop.
At this point they need to add 3 more refs so that no excuse will be made on not aeeing the fouls
*and then the crowd cheers.
This team is so unbearable to watch.
Man these refs suck. Joe was clearly in a shooting motion, should have been 3 fts /s
Barnes is standing so fuckin chill, like this dude has the greatest strenght ever in one hand to throw a player like this ??
The Brothers led crew should be banned from the playoffs. They are detrimental to the game along with the OKC Thespians
so sick of this team okc and sga always falling to the ground on every shot. FLOPKC
Good call brothers you twat
wtf is that! Fck u refs fck u Adam Silver. NBAFloppers
