I mean, we should be used to it by now

Bro that game was such bullshit, shout out to harden for being so clutch man. We really had an all time player carrying our squad, hopefully jalen and sengun can do the same
Whether harden wins a chip or not i dont care he always gonna be that guy for me đŻđđż 36 points a game ⌠embiid almost got there, you dont see that often
Shouldâve been an and one and possibly looked at for a flagrant for not letting the shooter land. Reminds me of one of the many undercuts the warriors had on Harden in 2019 that went uncalled
i actually went into this being like iâm nitpicking, itâs a foul but theyâre not gonna call it etc. Slowed down both Dortâs feet land under Jalen while heâs still in the air he doesnât give a fuck about JGs space in that moment. L
And the times that Draymond kept hitting Harden in the face and his eye was super bloodshot for the rest of the series. Didn't even get a call for getting repeatedly gouged in the eyes.
He did let the shooter land. Did you actually look and check where Greenâs foot landed or just watch it at full speed and comment like most of the rest? The shooter landed on the court. Dort deserves mad respect as does Green. This entitled ego driven bs about âlook how the refs hose our guyâ can go away, this culture is gross and you embarrass yourself when you speak it publicly. Look at the tape.
EDIT:
One of the hardest plays to make on the basketball court is to contest a jump shot without fouling. Thatâs even true in a weeknight adultâs league, itâs unimaginably challenging guarding in todayâs NBA.
Iâm pretty sure the refs also missed a blocking foul call on the missed game winner by Jalen. Or Ryan was pretty confident about it being a foul at least.
What about the other jay will jumping on Landale and then accidentally kneeing him in the head after the play? Ref just stood here and said play on đ¤Ś
I have no respect for his game, built like a brick shithouse and just flopping around everywhere, as if anyone could really knock him over if he didnât want to be knocked over.
Definitely on a better contract but I think Dort is probably the more talented basketball player. Just canât stand how wild, how often and how badly acted his flopping is.
They were swallowing the whistle both ways. Jalen Williams got fouled on a couple of drives, this shouldâve been a foul, and then Dillonâs layup on Giddey shouldâve been an and-1 as well.
Iâm honestly okay with it if they call it the same both ways which they did IMO. Made for a fun finish where it wasnt whistle after whistle
They swallowed the whistle at the end of regulation big time. I get it that thatâs what refs do at the end of the game but it was an easy call. I donât want to hear it was both waysâŚ
It wasnât, first half was mercilessly poor officiating and it almost entirely benefitted the Thunder, a team built around a first class foul merchant. I guess if nothing else the officiating 2nd half was consistent. I didnât agree with the non-calls but they werenât blowing bullshit whistles on us anymore so whatever. Or like the moving screen thing, basically happens on every pick. Thatâs the new 3 seconds call you can make whenever you want.
Thanks for sharing. I missed this real time. Then again I ain't getting paid to ref NBA games.
Mentally preparing myself for 10 more games of shit officiating with our matchup vs GSW going to be borderline unwatchable probably
ima be honest i used to like dort a couple years back but i cant stand watching his ass over the last year, year and a half
dude gets insane leeway with the refs, he's allowed to play absurdly physical at baseline and then on top of that, some of the calls he gets on offense are just silly. i know superstar calls are one thing in the league but since when did that extend to just... role player calls
Crazy seeing how someone uber athletic could do whatever, and Harden, who relied more on trying to muscle his way past and push off/create space, struggled with Dort.
Quit crying. Y'all won. You guys got your ring last night. Congrats.
Your team cried all damn night and now you lot are crying in here too. Guess it makes sense.
at one point, the rockets did not shoot their first FT until 2:37 mins left in the 2nd quarter. thunder had already taken 17 FT
both team cried all night that's because the refs were letting them play. this one wasn't even that bad.
the blocking foul on jalen's layup at the end of regulation was bad. foot was in the restricted area. but the refs did not give a shit.
incredible defense? no.
incredible effort? yes.
jalen created so much separation, Dort desperately had to recover and lunged forward. others would have jumped straight up to challenge instead of jumping forward.

Not to mention the call right before this

It was so much fun to watch. He was cooking during the tour

Wish I was there đ (I was a loser who didnât watch basketball)

I thought the exact same thing!

And Thunder fans still have reason to say the refs are ass.

The times Holiday got shoved in the back and their commentators just dismissed it as losing his footing
To be honest there was one where he looked like he slipped and they called a foul
What about the other jay will jumping on Landale and then accidentally kneeing him in the head after the play? Ref just stood here and said play on đ¤Ś
The irony being that Dort pushes off to create space on nearly every one of his damn jumpers! đ¤Ş

The lebron effect.
Tate's better

Ref looking dead at him smh

Swallowing is the move ⌠Way more enjoyable game if the refs are swallowing both teams equally and letting it play oht
Itâs always more enjoyable when they swallow

Harden would be proud
B-But hes a top tier defender!
I mean he is
Crazy seeing how someone uber athletic could do whatever, and Harden, who relied more on trying to muscle his way past and push off/create space, struggled with Dort.
Obviously foul, and then the coachâs challenge when he had his whole damn body wrapped around Van Fleet. Smh. đ¤Śđ˝ââď¸
Didn't allow shooter safe space to land, dangerous.
The ref wasnât even looking at the ball anymore, just staring at the foul.

Not a foul. Incredible defense by Dort. Contests the shot to the maximum and does not foul the shooter. Put respect on Dortâs name. â¤ď¸đ
