OKC should probably win but Lakers made all their FTs and managed to pull the game out. I think the whole game overall was just called way too soft after the Westbrook + Artest tangle up. The game was just called tight.
Refs were just bad, to the Lakers too. I really don't feel OKC deserved the win, Kobe willed his team and alot of those shots that he actually made should have been And1s funny enough.
Exactly. It's just become cool to be like **** HTE NBA, **** THE REFS, EVERYTHING IS RIGGED. Apparently it makes you look like a smarter, knowledgable fan. Instead of actually looking at the fact that OKC gets some of the softest calls in the NBA nad most of the plays were fouls.
The refs, especially Joey Crawford, gave this game to the Lakers. Smh, just smdh. Will they give LA 50 free throw attempts tomorrow?
Dont even people. That game was the most rigged game in history. Think about the runs for the entire 4th quarter. It was rigged and it was obvious.
The best part is OKC was in the penalty just as fast as the Lakers in the 4th. The Lakers stopped giving OKC reasons to get to the line. OKC continued to play physical.
Yeah, that's why OKC got free throws and the 5th foul on LA with like 7 minutes left in the 4th. Most rigged game in history just makes you look stupid. Just stop before you embarrass yourself.
Agreed. There were crazy calls for both teams but OKC got way more brutal calls in the 2nd half. The disparity was 30 fouls against OKC, 22 against the Lakers. Not the biggest in history but it seemed like it. Can anyone found out the foul tally in the 1st half (which I missed except the first 5 mins)? I'll bet anything it was close to even and then the Lakers had a lopsided advantage in the 2nd half.
Thats not what happened. OKc went on a run that put the Lakers in the penalty. Every run they had the refs and not any Laker players went on the run for the Lakers the entire quarter. For every OKC run it was answered by the refs for the Lakers.
I hate the Lakers. They just played smarter with the fouls. I hated the reffing because it was way too strict for the playoffs IMO. But Lakers adapted and the Thunder didn't. Give the team some credit.
You do realize that the Thunder had 28 attempts right? A team getting 14 more free throw attempts than another team is not ridiculous. The 76ers had 17 more than the Celtics tonight and I don't here everyone complaining about that game being fake. Kobe didn't even get a lot of foul calls he should have in the 4th quarter.
Lakers are still a good team but people saying they have one of the best front courts, I must say they have also one of the dumbest.... in Bynum, Hill and sometimes Gasol when his head is not in the game.
