    The call seems automatic now even when players avoid the contact by swinging their arm out of the way. Parsons caught on but it still kept getting called on him.

    What're you talking about? The motion you described isn't a rip-through move. Duran't rip through move has nothing to do with taking a shot. It's all about drawing contact.

    If I'm a defender, I have a right to the space I'm occupying as long as I'm not moving. Durant's rip-through move initiates the contact and violates the defender's right to his space.

    It should be an offensive foul if the defender isn't moving.

    Why does Durant keep taking bad shots all throughout the 4th??? and just did another here in the first possession of OT.

    He had sone games where he only got like 5 or 6 free throw attempts. He drove a lot and always had the ball. He got fouled a lot more than 5.5 times per game.

    I like zbo closing games but not against the thunder. Especially when you have conley.

    Durant gets the rip through whenever he wants but I think he's smart in that he doesn't overdo it so the refs keep calling it. You can always expect him to pull it out whenever it's a close game down the stretch for a few cheap free throws though. Harden just bulldozed all game long and the refs looked the other way whenever we needed the calls the most.

    he can't just camp out at the 3 point line and be selective without westbrook's penetration
