Gordon didn't get the memo but guards driving to the bucket against bigs don't get the benefit of the doubt on foul calls during the playoffs. Nothing new there.

And OKC is getting jobbed on every "judgement" out of bounds call.

The Rockets have a 14-6 FTA advantage.

Using free throw differential to determine how fair a game is called is wild. Almost no game should be even. Some teams are better at drawing fouls than others

Does Anderson do anything besides stand around and launch 28 footers?

Question for Thunder fans: Why trade for and then sign long term Oladipo if you want to keep Westbrook? How does a SG with marginal shooting fit with a PG as ball dominant as Westbrook?

Kanter is so useless lol

Kanter's offense isnt worth his defense.

Ryno's strategy in the paint "Pls foul me"

Not sure what you're expecting. His 14/7/2/3/2 on 60%/50% doesn't impress you? He's been the Thunder's 2nd best player all series.

Which says a lot about OKC's supporting cast as a whole. Even by playing far above his head offensively, Roberson is still "only" averaging 14 PPG and those numbers are good enough to be OKC's second best player.

Right, and he might be having an okay series so far (although he's shooting 0% on free throws and Harden hasn't scored less than 35 points in a single game) but for the season he's shooting like 25% on three pointers and less than 50% on free throws. I don't get it.

Leave almost anyone that open and there is a good chance they develop a rhythm.

Roberson shoots 25% on 3s wiuth the closest defender 6+ feet away. No.

what does this have to with developing a rhythm? if you let anyone get in rhythm over a series they can be dangerous from their spots with wide open looks.

Capela should start shooting 3s imo. get a rythm.

Oladipo trips, offensive foul on Ryno

Well, as we're seeing this year now that Durant is gone, when it comes to trades and signings, Presti is really quite terrible at his job. He's a heck of a drafter, but every other category that determines if a GM is good or not, he's really quite bad.

is that one of Capela's spots?

but I wouldn't be surprised if Rubio or another similar shooter started going on a similar streak. you let anyone get their feet set and shot without any defense at all and they can go on a roll.

Everyone hates on Harden, but Russ does the good old pump n bump WAY more than Harden. Harden does the coming around the screen more

Westbrook getting the Harden calls

3 RW foul calls on jumpers... right every time he takes a jumper the defender is fouling....
