I was assured by a Thunder fan on Reddit that that would never happen. So obv this is his fault and not something to do with OKC's whistle.

He’s one of the more inconsistently officiated players I can think of.

Dort has to have the oddest strength-to-flop ratio in the league. Dude is a mack truck and can't stop falling over.

At least with Embiid out.

The T-Wolves frontcourt will determine this series.

ANT will be production regardless.

Once OKC's defense gets some tape-work and figures out the Wolves tendencies, it will be a wrap. Ant and Randle will be averaging 5 TOs a piece.

The first foul was pretty clear. He bit on the pump fake and got caught. The one on the offensive end, they could have let that one go.
