    Watching the Memphis/OKC game, does any team get the amount of calls that the Thunder get?

    Durant you breathe on him it's a foul.

    Westbrook any type of layup there is a 75% chance it's going to be an and 1 regardless of what actually happened.

    Harden gets superstar calls on a routine basis even though he's a bench player, wtf.

    Superstars get superstar calls. Just watch Dirk play.

    Memphis is one of the top four teams in the West now that Zach is back. We have to beat out someone else to get that 8th seed.

    I love Memphis for that reason. So fun.

    Westbrook is really hard to officiate because he is so explosive and so outta control

    I remember watching the Heat vs Thunder and Durant got pushed on a fastbreak layup and it was a no call. When you really foul them no call, when you look at them a foul.

    The grizzlies hounded Harden all night. More than any other player. He wasn't getting ****!

    I want to root for the Grizzlies, but I just can't stand Tony Allen. No clue why I liked him when he was with Celtics, but with Memphis it's eh.

    I like him more. I like how physical he is as long as he's not playing the Rockets.

    Well he hasn't done anything in Memphis to make someone not like him.

    Finally getting to show how good of a defender he is on a consistent basis. His offensive game has also improved a little this year or so it seems from when I watch him.

    Each team shot 24 FTs and OKC was called for more fouls.

    Sounds like the OP is more biased than the refs. People, please think before you start a dumb thread.

    the first quarter was ridiculous though. The grizzlies finally got it even, but it was bad in the first quarter.

    Outside of their big 3, the Thunder don't really have any other options on offense. The Grizz did an excellent job of giving teams a game plan on how to defend them.

    ESPN put out 2 stats a few weeks ago that state the Thunder get:
    1) the most FT attempts in the 4th
    2) and the most fouls called for in the 4th

    Feels good, man.

    I was at the game. 1) The Memphis free throw defense was superior to the Thunder free throw defense last night. 2) Looks like Gasol has lost some weight since the Feb meeting.

    (What, are you claiming this as a Memphis victory or a Thunder victory in your bizzaro world?)

    Tony Allen is the best perimetee defender in the NBA

    No way Kobe should make it over him this year

    Mayo has come up big many times this year. What a turnaround from last season. Too bad the Pacers trade didn't happen because they could have used him.

    I'll use shorter sentences for you! :confused:

    I attended the game. (Crud, that is a longer sentence... can't help you with this one, sorry.)

    Gasol looks thinner. (That help?)

    Memphis shot their ft's awesome. OKC shot their ft's poorly. (I'm getting the hang of this!)

    Thunder were 3-0 in reality. In bizzaro world they were 0-3.

    Who won last night? Are the Thunder now 1-3?
