    That they're called the ThunderRefs?

    Last 2 home games obvious late calls were missed?

    Pop finally spoke up about the calls?



    It truly baffles me how the sequences played out down the stretch in close games this series. Both during situational cir stances coming out of time outs. I get the whole you can't let the refs dictate the game blah blah blah..but it's the playoffs where the games are intense and close and everything is on the line. You can't hold that against the Spurs because the games are close.

    It's all just a coincidence tho..

    Are you talking about the super soft brief mention in the post game interview?
    All he did was say "I was thinking more of the previous play." after reporter had asked him about Kawhis intentional foul where ThundeRef sat on whistle.

    Pop said leonard fouled Westbrook on the 'b4and1' but sometimes you get call and sometimes you don't
    plus he said the play where Durant was fouled by Green concerned him more. Well yup as it was trip from Adams on green.

    Now when you have two wide open FG missed by Parker and Aldridge there goes you game.

    If game 6 is close refs will make it up to the Spurs. They've messed too much in OKC favor in pivotal late game situations in the 2 Spurs home losses.

    Pop said it was an "obvious" foul by Leonard..then he took
    a quick jab about the call on Durant.

    When you've gotta answer questions about calls something didn't go that way it was supposed to. That's just wrong IMO. You can slice it however you want.

    Straw.

    Because "crying like Rivers" is the only way to protest continual bull game altering calls.

    Bending over and doing nothing is
    so classy

    I know I saw it.
    Why be coy about the Durant call? Why not just flat state "take a look at Adams swinging his feet out to trip Danny and you reporters tell me what you think about that?"
    It will not get Col Sanders Laker results.
    But fark, at least bring it up.
    That asshole Adams swings his feet and tries (or does) trip all game long.

    Pop should've gone ballistic during the game and gotten himself a T. Maybe at least then the players would've been a little more fired up.

    There is also that 24 sec voiliation, which should stop that fast break.

    Also that missed FT from Parker.

    But I still think it's unfair to find stuff the Spurs did wrong to justify the refs.

    At some point they have to be accountable for not seeing Adams move and trip Danny, and for ignoring an intentional foul, which was the obvious play for the Spurs, only to call a non foul for an and-1.

    Moments like this I wish Pop would just take the fine and call them out.

    The ending was bull and a delayed call... but are you telling me we deserved to win down the stretch? We failed, plain and simple. Didn't hit our shots and they ran roughshod all over us in the second half.

    that Spurs should defend themselves at all times


    Refs were terrible and they were pretty bad all season long. Now they do have those replays and all but still can't control the game or be legit.

    Anyway one time when Goble made a call I was wondering if mcCutchen trust his decisions overall
    Gotdamn that guy made some nasty mistakes last night.

    So why did the Thunder deserve to win down stretch? They made mistakes too..(Game 2 elbow) If anything the benefited from what happened.

    Just trying to comprehend how all that happened down the stretch..

    It was fairly clear that the baseline ref of the Spurs' bench side placed a bet on OKC. He made at least 5 calls in a row in the third when we had our biggest lead, and lo and behold that lead evaporated and we lost momentum going into the fourth.

    Didn't help that Pop puts in his OKC +6 in 2 minutes lineup at the end of every quarter.

    The refs won't make up for . Is it rigged? yes. Do you have to play them and beat them with the environment like that? yes. so there is nothing nobody can do. it's the way things are. It'll be fun to see them Thunders get the same bias against them when they play GSW

    Yea well that's why it was crucial to win game 4! But people were like ' humm well it's not suppose to be easy etc etc.'
    Now you bas s are against the wall. What you say about things not being easy?


    Also Spurs looking drained and games are being every other day now with travel. We lack players who can step up and make an epic performance

    They haven't done it yet, why would they start now?

    It was close when Adams caught the ball, but if it's in doubt, the refs will ALWAYS blow the whistle to stop play...except last night.

    The ending was bull and a delayed call... but are you telling me we deserved to win down the stretch? We failed, plain and simple. Didn't hit our shots and they ran roughshod all over us in the second half.
    I never understand this logic. The game is 48 minutes long. If your close late, then you have every right to win as much as the other team regardless of what's happened before. How many times has GS pulled ty games out late?

    The refs are supposed to be removed from who deserves to win the game. Their job is strictly to call violations. You can play like for 47 minutes, but if they game is close and you get fouled, or the other teams travels, or elbows a player on the inbounds, etc., you should get the call.

    Because that logic is re ed... the same that the dude saying refs will give the game to the Spurs if is close... in OKC... .... .... .... it is too hard to accept its rigged?
    Lol When Pop went to complain to the refs about the last call of game 2 they were putting their jackets on and walking away from the crime scene, I bet they were too busy had other things to do and the place was cold hence the jackets.
