I like how OKC is all of a sudden some underdog getting screwed by the refs when they are probably one of the most ref-assisted team in the league. Live by the ref die by the ref. both of these teams are full of whiners.
You watching this game?

What's with this arena? Can the fans be any less supportive? Going from OKC to this is such a shock. I feel like these people are here because they had nothing better to do.
Everyone that gives a shit about sports is at the Dodgers game or getting drunk at a Dodgers bar. No one gives a shit about a basketball team that isn't the Lakers.

Adams gets all hand, JVG says good no-call lol
If they called that. Raptors would be facing the Heat now.

Ironic since he called less contact on the half court shot a clear foul.
I certainly am. Both teams have gotten some pretty questionable calls both for and against their favor. Frankly it seems to have mostly evened out.You watching this game?
I guess that's what happens when you have two fan bases that live on refs giving them favorable calls. Both are gonna throw their hands up in disgust when the game isn't officiated in the favor their used to.

Yes. Lots of whining and bad calls...AKA an nba game. It might be giving OKC at a disadvantage right now but I assure you, Plenty of times opponents of OKC have felt te same way with how KD and Westbrook live at the line. Only losers let the refs decide games for them. Good teams overcome a few bad calls.

Blake is insane with his adjustments on jumps to still get the block
More of a foul on that block than what Adams did. Griffin whacked the entire arm. No call.

So Adams hasn't heard of a pump fake?
Whats with that tone bruh? It was a simple question. I'm a Clippers fan, so your post just went out the window.Everyone that gives a shit about sports is at the Dodgers game or getting drunk at a Dodgers bar. No one gives a shit about a basketball team that isn't the Lakers.

Dumb opinion there.
OKC got handed the advantage in game 7 of that series. Randolph didn't deserve a suspension on that play. It was a bs call.

Ninja, I probably watch as many OKC games as anyone and keep an even perspective here.
OKC is not aided by the refs any more than other teams. They just happen to be amazingly good from the line as a team. They get to the line and convert, but FT attempts are always close.

He punched a dude in the neck. I don't know what you expect me to say here. I wish he had played that game, too.
You never want to beat a team down a man...like how Memphis beat OKC last year without YNB.

Caron Butler isn't a good 3 point shooter even though hetakes a lot of attempts. What a game he has having though. He is like 28% beyond the arc for his career.

You just have to accept this crowd when you're like the 5th most popular team in your area.

lmao ok
Serious question, did they ever touch on why George wasn't suspended in their game 7 when he stepped over the line? That was my only gripe with the whole situation, seemed unfair to ZBo overall.He punched a dude in the neck. I don't know what you expect me to say here. I wish he had played that game, too.

Lakers fans in here complaining about OKC refs. Think about that one for a minute.
Well, one guy punched a another player. The other took one step onto a court. Seems pretty self-explanatory.

No. Both should have played, in my opinion. It wasn't like Zbo's girlish punch did any damage.

I really didn't think it was an intentional punch to the neck though. You hate to see a game 7 decided by a questionable call in game 6. I'm an OKC fan, so it helped my team. I just feel unless it is some malice in the palace type of crap, postseason suspensions shouldn't happen until the next regular season game.

Serge Ibaka just beastin.
Yeah that's how I felt, just fine him and let him get back to work in game 7No. Both should have played, in my opinion. It wasn't like Zbo's girlish punch did any damage.

Ah, makes sense I guess.
25 FT attempts for LAC, 20 for OKC. Those meddling refs!
Just to put it into perspective though, since 2009-2010 OKC has averaged the 2nd most FT attempts per game of any team over that period.Ninja, I probably watch as many OKC games as anyone and keep an even perspective here.

The only one complaining and crying about the refs here is you. I'm merely pointing out that all teams and stars (that includes my lakers and your thunder) get the benefit of calls, so crying when a few don't go your way is silly.

It was obviously intentional and incredibly dumb by Randolph. I still think he should be on the court.

Exactly. Suspending the leading scorer for a team in a game 7 has the chance to alter legacies and history. Who will remember that hardly a neck punch 20 years from now? No one.
