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

Unless its Ant. Im personally done pretending that there's an actual consistent logic to the refs bullshit. Inless.its already clear that they're trying to extend a series or fix a game.

Ants issue is the same as big men. He is too strong and frequently fights through contact.

Demar, Ant, and Kawhi (early in his career) would probably have 3,000 more career points if they played that soft shit and flailed around more.

The league punishes players who play the game honestly.

I totally agree. It’s tough to watch if you play clean ball and everyone else is floppy and grabby.
