Without it, they would be down a lot of points. They are playing so poorly right now. Kudos to them making the free throws, but how can any Thunder fan be confident in what they're seeing from their team in this game.

Those slight pushes rarely ever get called, it becomes a case of, "well how on balance were you in the first place".

I dunno... Suggs gets called for that all the time and we lose it on him on the board :lol:

Nembhard got called for a foul for stealing the ball with no physical contact at all.

Man, idk where she gets this stuff.

The whistle Caruso gets is a flat out joke.

He is officiated like he’s prime LeBron

Nesmith's footspeed isn't as quick to stay with SGA. They've had a few 1v1s. SGA makes Nesmith a statue.

Haliburton has been in the game for several minutes while the Thunder made their run, it was only once Siakam got back on the floor that the offence started flowing again.

She stinks at her job. Siakam has been a beast.

Firing Thibs for losing to this team is going to haunt the Knicks. I know he has his faults but he's a solid coach.

Especially since they didn't have anyone else in mind to take the job.

Jenkins would be the only hire that would make sense to me. Let's see if Dolan gets involved though.

That one was so bad. They showed the alternate angle and the only contact in the play was his fingertips on the ball. So bad.

I didn't say refs don't miss calls or make wrong calls. I said it's not as common to get the touch push call when you are already off balance
