non-issue, not worried
OKC is the only team in the league to have the refs in their backpockets in every arena they go to. Not even the Lakers are getting such blatant treatment.
Why ? The Spurs won.
If Spurs lost people would say spursfan is making excuses. So this is the best time to , imho.
You should be proud. Your team beat the Thunder even when Doodoo Jump almost shot more free throws than the Spurs. Be proud.
Only pussies & assholes play the officiating card.
actually the refs were surprisingly calling lot of fouls against OKC (Durant offensive/perkings/Ibaka/chimp) something rarely seen. Yes, they tried something at the end but the game was out of hand already.
IMO it was not a terribly officiated game. But this is regular season. I'm sure Refflahoma will be well represented inthe playoffs.
refs were fine last night and 14-24 ain't too biased by thunder's standard, normally OKC will get 20-30 more freebies than the opposing team imho. officiating was fair enough and spurs fans should be satisfied with the win tbh
did u actually watch the game or do u just post stats and make absurd assumptions?
Easy to say when your team has had the benefit of the refs for years...
BS. Last night was a typical case of the fact that OKC just flat out is going to shoot more FT's. It's a reflection of their personnel and style of play. Got beat very soundly and still shot twice as many FT's and anyone who thinks that game wasn't called fairly is blind. THat's just the way OKC plays.
think he was reffering to the lakers
Agreed. To see evidence of this, just look at how many FTs James Harden gets. He's not with the Thunder any longer but his style is to attack the rim and get to the line. When you shoot a high percentage that's what you should do.
Finally, an opposing fan actually sees my point of view regarding OKC and FT attempts. Many Spurs fans just automatically point the finger at foul shot attempts and loosely use these Thunderef terms, which is ridiculous. Like I said, people need to stop and look long at hard at the game last night as a prime example of why the whole FT attempt thing is blown way out of proportion.
when you play monkeyball like the thunder(except durant) you get a lot of calls.like OKC said, their style of play is aggressive and they constantly attack the rim.its either foul or let them go to the rack and score 2 pts.what i hate about it is that it slows the game down.i saw several possessions in the 4th quarter when the thunder got desperate and just started throwing themselves into spurs defenders, trying to create contact and get calls.i hate it, but it is what it is.
Unique Spur fan here. Not in about the refs.
Respect, partner, respect.
It is annoying as an opposing fan to watch, but these are things unique to some players in the league. Westbrook last night, for as dumb as he was going into hero mode, made some moves to the rim that shows just what happens when you don't foul him. He's absolutely unstoppable - his speed, air time, and ability to change direction of shot multiple times during hang time is just ridiculous. No team is going to sit back and watch him do that. You foul the guy, slow the game down, and make him earn it. When he's got a teams number penetration wise, he's gonna shot a legit 15 FT's in a game. I'm glad some Spurs fans can recognize this. You won't keep OKC off the line, even in a well officiated game and even in a game when you're kicking their ass.
Only pussies & assholes play the officiating card.
Oh give me a break. If you can't see that Durant gets a ridiculous number of ticky tack BS fouls then you are nuts. Be proud of your team and players. They would be great even without the refs. But don't pretend its not true.

I'll recognize the super star calls. A "ridiculous number" I will not agree with.
Would you agree that LeBron's and Wade's style of play also translates to lots of contact and FTs, yet they don't get nearly as many as Durant and Westbrook.
Yes and no. Lebron does what he wants to do. To me he's often a pass first player. He assists the ball much more than Durant. I see Lebron time and time again penetrate the lane, go airborne and kick out to an open 3 point shooter. Seems he'd rather do that often times. If Lebron had it in his mind he needed to shoot 10 FTs a game, he would have no problem accomplishing that.
