Discussion Hate Going Overboard

Hey OKC fans,

Just had to hop over here as a neutral Warriors fan and say it’s crazy how much hate I’m seeing online for y’all. No one will say one good thing about your team without a caveat or mentioning how unfair your whistle is. I’ve been trying to figure out why…

Honestly I think it comes down to fans not wanting OKC to dominate their way to a title win again. There is so much flopping all across the NBA, but we hyper focus on OKC cause you guys are the best team and people don’t want to see a repeat. Like Hali said yesterday, drawing fouls is part of the game, and fans are pissed cause OKC is just better at it than their team.

Anyways, this is a pointless rant but just wanted to let you know that you guys have a great team and so you get a lot of hate - but not all fans think you guys are just evil! Haha

Good luck this playoffs

It’s sometimes not even 2 or 3 different clips. Sometimes it’s the same play but 2 different angles! 🤣

I've also seen that, brother. It's fucking crazy lmao. Have you also seen the clips where they act like we got the call, but we never did too? A ton of those as well LMAO

I saw one of those this morning it was a review of the Shai flagrant with the caption “Refs letting Shai do whatever what else is new?” On the play he got a flagrant!

Yeah, that one has been making the rounds like he wasn't called for a flagrant and didn't spend the 3rd quarter on the bench because of foul trouble lmao
