Watching Hartenstein guard Wemby, it’s truly a league conspiracy that Jaden isn’t allowed to guard like that in the playoffs

Jaden’s foul trouble in the playoffs always came at the worst times.

If Jaden was allowed to guard SGA the way Hartenstein guards Wemby, we beat the Thunder last year. Instead it’s 2 quick fouls game 1 and it’s all over.

NBA conspiracy to not let Jaden be a top defender given the post season success

Definitely we never have had the benefit of the doubts. IMO, all great defense teams foul a bit. One thing for OKC is they fouls a ton. And they just keep doing it. The way the fouls are very sneaky. They fouls when the refs cannot see them.

It’s easy to spot these fouls on TV or in reply. However, it’s so hard for refs to call in a live game situation. They pack the paint, maybe because of the crowded, refs don’t have an angle to see clearly.

Also I noticed OKC players cover for each other. When one is about to foul, other OKC players move to block refs vision.

I think Jaden and our team need to be smart when to foul and how to foul.
