2025 NBA Finals: Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Indiana Pacers

And I hated it. Hate star calls. Hate calls by reputations.

Superstars already are superior in skills. Why do they need extra help?

 

but in playoffs the defenders also can hold and grab more with out calls. I'm fine with no whistle. As long as both teams can do the same.

 

Didn't realise SGA was the only Thunder playing on the court last night!

 

You seem to be infatuated on SGA.

Meanwhile, we were all complaining about the officiating in the first half giving other Thunder plays unwarranted free throws, ensuring the game was kept close and within reach for OKC.

The out of bounds on Caruso which the Thunder still got the ball from.

The turnover on the Pacers even though there was contact to push him out of bounds - which is always a foul - but someone not and ball to the Thunder.

You've conveniently left out all of these things in your comments about SGA.

 

Bro it isn't a call for SGA therefore it means it's not blatant cheating for the Thunder!

Right @RHU525 ??

 

Btw the commentaty crew is so out of things at times, the chemistry with Breen is just off. Glad we got those years with JVG.

 

Games are officiated one way all the time. I thought game 3 the pacers were beneficiary of multiple calls. I said specifically I didn't watch the game til the 4th quarter. Didn't see anycalls too egregious in the 4th.

 

That was a bad pass. The ball is past Halliburton before the shove even happened. Shove only happened cus Halliburton stopped to go back for the ball.

After watching draymond for 7 games this probably isn't a foul considering what he got away with,

 

This one was pretty funny.

 

I think people's complaints are exactly about NOT both teams being able to do the same.

Consistency is the biggest problem with NBA officiating.

 

Could the Pacers have done much more to overcome the horrid officiating? Absolutely. Should they have to? Absolutely not.

If you're going to have teams shoot over 70 free throws, even if called equitably it would disfavor the team trying to play fast with flow to wear down the opponent.

 

Literally two extended arm shoves a player.

Isn't a foul.

Do you have any credibility?

 

This is a big thing about yesterday's game.

Indiana were zipping all over the court in the first quarter - no coincidence it was their best opening to a game this series by far.

Then quarter two all the whistles started chirping completely disrupting their rhythm and favoured OKC.

Just another facet of the game officiating favours a particular team that doesn't show up on a box score.

 

I dunno it's game by game. Felt like in game 3 pacers were allowed to play really physical.

 

Draymond kicked tari Eason in the nuts and tackled him and didn't get a call so.

Things get missed all the time.

 

Not allowed to breathe on SGA on one end and then as the game winds down in the crucial final stretch get shoved out of bounds for a turnover. This was the nail in the coffin. There was absolutely no consistency whatsoever
