One of the best series of basketball in years but a lot of the narrative & highlights are focused on dirty fouls / flops
Just very interesting and disappointing to see. The entire page of /r/nba is full of replays of flops and fouls by OKC, and it's completely justified. The narrative is growing really strong, but at the same time everyone is feeling how incredible this series is. I've been watching basketball since the early 2000s and it's incredible the level of skill across the board the best teams have in the NBA now.
OKC is peak refinement culture. They do everything well even when it comes to playing unfair and bending the rules. I don't think we've ever seen it at this level and it's just repulsing people. Disorientating because they are one of the most talented teams ever.
