THIS!! They were letting the Thunder hold, hand check and body check the Clippers in the 3rd quarter and didn't call any calls on the Thunder during their run. It was crazy...
True but still not seeing Tobias, Lou, Gallo, etc.. at least attempt to step up to stop the bleeding/maybe draw some fouls and get to the line especially Tobias if he's claiming to be a max player/turning down $20 million per and all. All the leaders disappeared during that run. And I'm still frustrated at the Pat Bev/ Avery backcourt as well. Avery had a nice first quarter but that was it pretty much from the entire guard posse the entire night. Milos included
