How lame is OKC for doing this hack a foul crap when its legit a two possession game?

Hope they lose now.

Just dumb. The hack-a-Lively strategy. Now you can't play defense because you're worried about putting the Mavs on the line.

1. This **** sucks.

2. These refs are morons.

3. If this game was being called correctly Dort would have 8 fouls.

4. The thunder are a bitch ass team.

Main reason I picked Dallas in 7. OKC still seems like a year away. Chet has to step up if they want to win this series.

OKC is in trouble this series if they can’t win without Luka and Kyrie even having to do a lot.

How is hack still allowed. It shouldn’t be allowed in the last 6 minutes of the game.

If the game ended right now Kyrie would have 20 and Luka 19, just like Game 1. Only Mavs lost by 22 points.

Thunder offense getting stymied. This is why I picked the Mavs to win this series, experience matters.

I admit my thread about inexperience was premature because of this. OKC looks legitimately broken. Like intimidated or something. Maybe they got too used to running teams off the floor?

You'd think OKC would abandon hack-a-Lively now, he's hitting them.
