If it’s them who gets into this situation: Instant Foul + free throws
If it’s OKC doing it: ***no call***
The Oklahoma City Foul-baiters, everybody!
Our guys also don’t have the capability to shake the defender. Lebron doesn’t have handles and Austin is still weak and gets taken out of games due to physicality.
Swipe at air 10 ft from Shai: 2 shot foul.
UFC-style attack a non-OKC player: No foul.
This was all night long. Not to mention so many out of bounds calls they missed
Lakers 23 FT OKC 29
I’m wonder all these people on /nba talking about “Lakers whistle” why is it every big matchup against a contender the other team gets better whistle?
No one cares how many calls Luka and Reaves get against the Jazz, they win those games either way
It’s just part of the script
And this is why the ratings are low
look i maintain AR needed to keep his chill because it felt like he completely took himself out of the game from his frustration with the officiating (he was cooking in the first half and before the tech in the 3rd quarter, he was seeing the floor well and making good decisions) but whenever i see clips of just how awful the refs were tonight i do understand him more lol
Any other game there woulda been a fight. It was rugby for awhile. Its fine but the reffing is so inconsistent. Can we slap grab shove? Or is it a little closer like before?
We’ll never know. Roll the dice.
Even the announcers were having a hard time not commenting on it
It got Austin off his game the constant hacking
The officiating was so frustrating down the stretch. Having to use a foul on the most obvious out of bounds call is such a joke
F OKC…how the F does that hick ass city even have a team?!
What’s the second clip supposed to show? 🤔
How can you possibly win against this team and the refs?
Kudos to Bron for staying composed but even he got tired of dort’s shit, confronted him about it and all OKC do is laugh in his face.
Austin got overly emotional and didn’t stick to what was working, he tried to shoot out of it but he rly should have kept playmaking
Austin struggles against ball pressure which Wallace was doing a great job of all night without fouling. They also did a great job of helping off the right people when he drove the lane, and his dump offs somehow always ended up in Vando’s hands too close to the basket which usually led to nothing.
If it was clips of that stuff or of Austin losing the ball at midcourt because he couldn’t shake Wallace and got himself in trouble, or our sets getting blown up because their defenders were aggressively cutting off passing angles, or our shooters getting locked up by excellent closeouts, fine. OKC did all of that and fought like hell for rebounds. And we did all that too for once!
But it was a close game and it’s the BS no-calls in this clip and at least 6 or 7 other examples that just ruined it. That’s not “physicality” it’s blatant hacking. Nobody is going to be able to “fight through the contact” when their jerseys are being pulled down, or their arm clubbed while splitting a double team.
Reason why these fuckers are fake champs.. unethical hoops. I dont give a fuck what they say about sga, they were awarded the championship because of bias like this. Callback to the very valid crashout by the wolves and pistons coach crashouts
AR literally getting hack arms getting clampppp but no call but this dvmbasss refs missed so many bs specially tye two challenges we had on this game is just so dvmb to miss those…………. These refs really be cooking
If you gotta give AR a tech, you gotta know you missed the call
I do think Isaiah Joe was blocking the baseline ref’s view though. But that just tells me maybe there needs to be a 4th official, because that foul was egregious and shameful to miss
With gambling and the blatant unbalanced refereeing, I say we bring in the robo refs and put these zebras back into high school gyms where they *might* be competent enough to officiate
The hacking is definitely real
Fuck the Thunder. They’re lucky Hali went down. Hope literally anyone in the west at this point kicks their ass in the playoffs.
But hey AR and Luka never get hit right??? They just flop!
/s
Sad to say AR is the defense weak link for this game
That reaction from Chet is because he slapped ARs nuts when he just meant to slap his arms
