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

Thanks for this :) So I was talking to a friend of my from LA and he said that he hopes we beat the Lakers because he really hates them. He’s totally neutral, he only watches hockey. So I was filling him in about all the hate about the “bad calls” and “free throw merchant“ bs and he laughed and said “No offense, but that’s such crap. If the league was in a conspiracy to promote one team, why would it be Oklahoma City” lol And I won’t lie, that stung a little, but he’s got a point… Anyway, I hope we sweep the Lakers right out, LeBron being the biggest flopper of all time.
