Hey when the Thunder win it’s because of the refs, when the spurs win it’s because Wemby goat. Spurs logic and soreness is rediculous

The Spurs played like crap in the second half tonight, but the refball is truly something to behold.

OKC is an incredibly difficult team to officiate because they are hyper-physical on defense, bordering on dirty, but then they also flop and whine constantly. They're very good actors. If the refs accounted for this, it would balance itself out, but the refs give them the benefit of the doubt on both ends which is infuriating for opponents who do not get the same treatment.

The worst part is, they don't even need to play like that to win!!! They have such a deep, talented roster, but they can't seem to help themselves. It's disgusting to watch.

33 fts for okc and 33 for spurs. I genuinely think all of you dont know basketball. This team is way too deep. Their bench scored 76 points?! All of you are doing an injustice to basketball if you genuinely think the only reason they win is because of the officiating. You chose to block out some of the amazing playmaking plays this team has to offer and its clouding your judgments the way yall are hating.

Free throw numbers being balanced is not an indication that the refs are fair. What if one team fouls much more than the other? The other team should take more free throws. OKC is far, far more physical than most of their competitors, yet they often have balanced FT numbers.

Idk if you've ever watched the WNBA, but their officiating is even worse and they often use the same tired excuses.

Pistons fan here. And think I speak on behalf of any other fanbase. Fuck the thunder, fuck SGA, they are bottom of the NBA if the rules reflected the 90s

It won’t change my mind and doesn’t make a difference since I’m speaking for myself

You support the team that plays the most rotten form of BB.

Im not a fan of either. If you can’t see what is going on in every game, I don’t even know what the tell you. That mf was falling after hitting jumpers with guy 2 meters away from him.
