    Man i never realized what an absolute joke shai is. Take away the refs he’s completely useless. That entire team can’t do anything without the refs today. Disgusting.

    Watching these teams shoot the ball like blind men tells me the Rockets should have gonna further the 1st round. Number one priority next year is to be an above average ft shooting team.

    8 points in a Quarter has to be some kind of record.

    Seeing SGA get bailed out on pathetic foul calls really is double infuriating knowing the refs swallowed that whistle for Harden.

    Why are you guys whining so much about SGA shooting 6 FTs when Jokic also has 6, Braun has 8 and the Nuggets have lead 20-10 in total FTAs?

    See, there's this thing where legitimate vs illegitimate calls/fouls comes into play.

    That was hilarious! Aaron Gordon with the practice dribble, line-up-the-seams 3-pointer to give the Nuggets their first lead.

    OKC is in very big trouble. Only thing that might bite the Nuggets is running out of gas in the 4th quarter. Every one of their starters played at least 42 mins Friday.

    Do the refs not understand dort is not even trying to play basketball? How can they "fall" for his absurd flops over and over and over, i don't get it.

    I'll grant you this: Not giving Jokic the and-1 right after SGA was terrible.

    If OKC loses this one, it's because they did not explode out to a much bigger lead against the Nuggets when they were sluggish and couldn't do anything right.

    So for everyone who blames Ime non-stop throughout the regular season and playoffs I have a question.

    Is Mark Daigneault a awful coach? Look at the Thunder's offense this playoff series, they can't even solve a simple zone with a MVP on their roster? Ime doesn't have half the offensive weapons Daigneault has to put into perspective.

    I don't know.

    But according to some on Clutchfans, Denver should ship Jokic out asap because he can't hit 80% of his field goals.

    Okc finally seem to solve how to attack to zone defense at the mid 3rd q.

    Denver had the worst offensive 1st half ever but they gradually get better and now they are clicking. We need that same composure here.

    Playoffs are puzzle solving games.

    The inconsistency on calling 3 seconds…eliminate the rule at this point, they only arbitrarily call it and that’s 90% of the time when a coach and or bench point it out.

    Dumb play by Murray and how was that a foul by WB?! Worst crew man…Tony B & that CP3 hater.

    Didn't realize it was brothers, now the officiating this game makes sense. If they screw denver and cost them the series that's just so lame.

    I'm tired of seeing double standards of refs. SGA is literally untouchable while AG is getting hacked in every drive without getting any calls.
