I Don’t Want Another Game on NBC

This is going to be my personal complaint thread. Just wondering if anyone else has the same opinions.

The thing that bothers me the most is their camera work. Imagine trying to see how Hartenstein or Chet is covering Wemby but you can’t because NBC has the camera 4K ZOOMED IN on the person holding the ball.

And EVERYTIME someone attempts a shot we have to watch them take forever to zoom out and essentially miss the entire arc of the shot. Great job NBC. 👍🏾

And OH MY GOODNESS, Reggie Miller will never shut the hell up. Everytime Wemby or Castle does anything it’s instant glaze, literally skipping up and down to praise them. When someone on our team does something, it’s either crickets or essentially a pat on the back.

I understand we’re the villains of the league and networks might be looking to capitalize but can we NOT have one game where our commentators are effectively neutral??

Okay rant over and just wanted your opinions too.

How can we take advantage of this Wemby situation ?

Hey yall. I’m watching previous Thunder games in order to see what we went right and wrong for us during the reg.

I noticed that on a lot of our offensive possessions (Jan 13 game) that Wemby sits in the paint even though the Spurs are clearly in man defense. This eventually leads to at least one Thunder player getting open.

  1. Can anyone help me understand why he does this? I understand it’s to keep him in the paint because long wingspan -> rim deterrence and lower percentage of shots being made. However, doesn’t this create a disadvantage
    if a team is shooting decently from 3 or it allows for more space?

  2. How would you guys propose we take advantage of this situation? I believe that getting our shots to fall from outside the arc + midrange and good spacing in our lineups will create positives from this.

What Episode story do you think would be a really good book?

There are lots of great stories on episode with plenty episodes. What stories do you think would make an excellent book or novel series??

Mine would be Prince of Malibu or the Phoenix Prophecy

Caden in [Cabin Fever] pisses me off so bad.

This will obviously contain spoilers if you haven’t been catching up but episode 30 is already irritating me.

Before I begin: This is an excellent story in my book. Shoutout Georgia Sanders

Caden’s inability to tell the truth is almost the biggest f*ck you I’ve ever read from a LI to our MC. You know your Dad doesn’t like her because she doesn’t come from a wealthy family. Yet you continue to try and keep her in place by masking it as an “everything will be okay. Our love is enough.” How much can you actually love someone if you refuse to tell them the truth and allow them to be disrespected over something they have no control over?

I’m starting to think he enjoys having a socioeconomic advantage over her because she’ll just shut up and take it if he throws some expensive things her way.

Jordan isn’t innocent either because she shouldn’t have hidden her father’s medical debt from him for so long but this is mostly about Caden.

Once of the most morally confusing characters I’ve ever read on this app so that means the author is doing a good job.

Am I the only one who finds the hate hilarious??

I know it can be disorienting because you want people to like your team with you but this era we’re in right now is truly hilarious.

There’s really no other way to put into perspective how we have entire lineups complaining to the refs postgame.

We have so much motion (popularity, engagement) that we have media analysts crying because their favorite team is getting handled.

NBA Youtubers complaining about fouls.

Non-basketball/sports companies getting in on the engagement bait because hating Shai pays the bills.

Children and mother’s basement athletes complaining that the Lakers lost cause of free throws and not because they let OKC go on a run without Shai.

We’re truly in an unprecedented era of delusion and it’s because they know their teams can’t compete. Reffing is the easiest thing to make excuses for.

We should really all enjoy this era and not take it for granted. It’s really Thunder versus everybody.

I remember someone saying in this subreddit how GSU should implement digital Panthercards because (obviously) it’s more convenient than physical cards. They heard you: I just received this email.
