These dudes will remain in denial. Okc could shoot 87 freethrows and win by one point and they would be on here like it was nothing.
We didnt get boards and we didnt play well but that doesnt change the fact that we were still in the game despite the free throw parade and we were squarely in contention till the 8 point swing call on Mills. Never seen anything like it, blatant rigging, ref waited to see if the ball went in and wasnt even looking at his feet. in garbage, killed the game.

ofcourse we don't have a lot of margin for error... we're a team without superstars in their prime anymore. We've gotten this far 3 years in a row more or less having a 10-deep player rotation and a great system. What the Spurs are trying to do is amazing, considering all that.
Please god man, the players arent colluding, jesus, its like you have never played a sport and you dont understand compe ion, these players have pride and they arent gonna give up a shot at a le, period
that was a bad call... but we lost the game before that.
The guys making millions aren't colluding, but the middle class refs are colluding with the entire organization of the NBA. Got it.
It doesnt matter that we dont have superstars, notice how every series has been fair EXCEPT this one, its this team, they are ref dependent, they are not like the Mavs, the Heat, the Blazers, the Grizzlies, its just the Thunder that get these kinds of calls. And you are choosing to ignore it, pathetic.
We lost the game on that play, it ended the game. And the 22 free throws to our 0 before that play helped put us in that position
I don't have a problem with saying OKC were coddled in previous series either, tbh... I think in this series it hasn't really happened much, and even if you want to argue that today's game was like that, I think the bigger story is the Spurs laying an egg.
I didn't say they're not coddled... I said if the Spurs play better, the refs don't matter... at least not in this game.
Yeah that should be obvious, the refs who are less well off are going to try and make a little side money.... You are a moron dude, but at this point you must be a troll
You obviously havent played sports, these guys are compe ors and I know they wouldnt out for money, and if you believe they would then dont watch, cuz the integrity of the game is ed
And I am simply contending that the refs affected our offense with the parade of free throws... putting more pressure on our players, shaking their confidence, and stagnating their offensive rhythm, we need to play better but the refs killed any chance for a win
lol its true, "im not saying the refs are at fault here, almost half of those 87 free throws were legit and we only shot 62%, if we make more open looks we win that game, 65% shooting wouldve done it for sure"

More like 45%.....but still. Truth is, the refs sometimes can be blamed for losses. I think that the Spurs played crappy enough to make the picture cloudy at best though.
Blaming the refs does nothing for the Spurs...
Yeah, I mean, if we shot well, rebound and lost by 3 after that Mills call, I can see that...
Lmao just look at that replay of the Mills 3. 'Nothing to see here 'okc has been ref-coddled at a historic level these playoffs, i dont understand it.
39.7% And yeah...its amongest the lowest. Green and LEonard were particularly horrible going 7 for 24 combined. That to me is more troubling than Tonys performance tbh.
we were talking about a hypothetical scenario lol. Its parallelism, if you dont see an issue with reffing that led to the LARGEST FREE THROW DISPARITY IN NBA HISTORY IN THE THIRD QUARTER, then you would probably make an excuse for the hypothetical scenario.
19-0 3rd quarter freethrows.'Nothing to see here'
yeah, just fixed my post. Boris took some shots he normally makes, but missed. Tony was bad... I actually though the poor rebounding was more of a factor. Tiago was really invisible today...
Or maybe the momentum of the game is affected by not getting those key calls, pressure shifts if we make that 3, but you can ignore it all you want, basketball is a game of momentum and that call ended the game, they hit a 3 right after and their methhead crowd ejaculated and the momentum killed us
The refs were pretty bad(as usual, but that should be expected against the coddled MVP at home). However with the amount of offensive rebounds and sloppy plays I saw today, I can't blame this on the refs. The Spurs were right in this game; and if someone other than Manu had shown up, the rest would be history
