    More like quarter by quarter, even play by play. One play you can get away with murder. The other play, you get called by putting a hand on the other guy's shoulder.

    The inconsistency creates a vibe of suspicion. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. But honestly, with such inconsistency, it's quite easy to slip unfair treatments into a game. They can point to the even distribution of bad calls to both teams and seem that it's cancelled out. But not all bad calls are created equal. Some are more damaging than others. It doesn't show in boxscores. You have to watch the flow of the game to get the contexts.

    Problem is understood before why they helped lakers or warriors and favored big market teams. But this is OKC versus Indiana I'm not sure what the NBA gets for OKC winning, I'm not sure they care either way with these two teams neither will help them drive ratings. Especially cuz everyone is hating on SGA style of play,

    Yeah Haliburton has been far too passive to warrant any FTs so that means jack.
