I think we are going to see all the ref calls go the Spurs way in game 6. It feels like the refs have been controlling a lot of these games in critical moments to cause the outcome. Refs will force this into a game 7, I'm guessing the agenda will be to get OKC and Warriors in the next round, but we will make it to a game 7. Sickening tbh but likely the case like we have seen in past years. Finals will probably lean towards refs manufacturing a dubs win for the back to back and the story line.
I want what you're smoking tbh![]()
The NBA is all about the dollars and revenue. I'm not saying the Spurs will win this series, NBA clearly wants a OKC/Dubs matchup, but they will ensure we get to a game 7.
Refs reward OKC because they attack. most of the Spurs just shoot jumpers it seems like. the only players who generate FTs are LMA and Kawhi who is consistently disrespected by the officials. but still if spurs attacked the rim more theyd get more calls
If you were ESPN what game would you rather promote ? Curry/Thompson Vs. La / Kawhi Or
Curry/Thompson Vs. Durant/Westbrook?
If the refs were going to favor us, they would have done it last night on our court. It didn't happen.
Know where I can pick up a tin foil hat? I know those NSA guys can read my thoughts.
At halftime Spurs led 30-14 (or so) in points in the paint, yet had a quarter of the FTs OKC had.
The refs were bad as soon as the game started last night and they made huge calls which turned the tide of the game. Green trip foul on Durant, the lane violation/foul which sparked a huge run, ghost foul on green on the steal, the 24 second violation and the call at the end of the game. This is also after the worst called end to a game ever in Game 2.
Not a coincidence.
Why does everyone think the refs are going to win a game when the Spurs losing on the boards by 20 with no D rebounds in the final six minutes and shooting 9 for 3mfing2 from mid range? Delusional. The Spurs need to hit open shots and rebound.
The he refs are atrocious but Game 1 showed how good the Spurs are capable of being. The Spurs have no one to blame but themselves. Every loss this series is one or both of LMA/Kawhi disappearing in the crunch and the bench being awful. The Spurs will either play like champions tomorrow or go out like pussies with excuses. This team is too good for excuses.
Exactly. It's just easier to blame someone else than to actually put blame on yourself. You just have to admit now that the Spurs are not the better team. Referees have nothing to do with it.
If you think the Spurs are the better team, than play like you did in Game 1 where referees cannot change any outcome.
Dis, doe
you lose game 5.....you lose.
exactly, we have seen this for years......3 pt shooting will usually get you out of this. we are not doing it. The league wants 2 things. Durant to stay in OKC and the GSW to be a 2 time champ.....they do not want the spurs beating their 73-9 champs. so we were doomed from the beginning. the game 5 game is usually a neutral game. let the best team win.....this game was rigged from the beginning becasue they want OKC to win. PERIOD.
you think if they want the spurs to lose they will let us go home for a game 7....I don't think so.
That would be nice but I doubt it
I knew this joke of a thought was going to rear its ugly head. I guess the refs will heavily favor Portland in games 5 + 6 too.
This x1000
So the Spurs should have to play near perfect every game to get a win and OKC should only need to play well to win. Sounds legit lol. Refs make our margin for error slim as , that is a huge advantage for OKC.
Actually it's going to be just the opposite. Game 6 will be worse than all the other games combined. You just watch.
So this is basically another the NBA is rigged, etc, thread. Sometimes you have to question it, especially this series. Actually the Spurs/Warriors WCF would get better ratings for the NBA than an Warriors/Thunder WCF.
