BS defense for these refs/NBA.

Nothing in the rulebook says that you can't jump to the left or the right of the offensive player. It doesn't matter that he bit on a pumpfake. He wasn't jumping into the offensive player.

um he kicked his left leg way out almost to the area of his hip. He made contact and it should have been 3 shots.

Sucks for you I guess. Thanks for Donovan Mitchell by the way, enjoy Trey Lyles :lol:

I don’t think the thunder would have gone any further the Jazz may not win game

That being said, can’t say I’m mad at all lol.

I probably agree. But here's the best angle to decide:

OKC should have walked off the game with time left.

Snyder didn't have a good angle and probably assumes that refs blow that whistle given past experiences like that.

Non Russ fans will point to the 46 points on 43 shots and just 5 assists and 5 TOs and a 1st round exit. With him taking so many shots his teammates had no chance to get into a rhythm offensively.

His fans will point to him single handedly kept his team in the game while no one else on his team brought it offensively. And a couple questionable calls going the other way this could be going to game 7.

Yup. And they'll both be right. It's wild.

you mean like larry bird, michael jordan, charles barkley or dennis rodman?

Don’t recall saying no one else has done it before. Doesn’t make it right. If it was his first or second time I might not say anything

why don't you go out to a restaurant and put your phone 4 inches from someone's face and see what happens?

Call or no call, basketball won and the best team goes to the next round.
I just hope that OKC change the way they play, they need to stop the ISO ball all the time.
Adams and Grant are great players, but you have to get rid of Melo as soon as possible.
Houston here we come!

That would have been so bad for the NBA if that had happened.

That guy had a smartphone recording him up in his face, he should of slapped him.

Chill I saw it wrong when it was live.
But should have slapped him? Lol yeaaaaa ok lets over react to a fan at a sporting event recording you.... lol seems reasonable..

I think that this game shows just how important Rubio is to the team, probably moreso than Mitchell. Utah's offense looked HORRIBLE all game.

That could've gone either way, but it's the final minute of the game and the refs weren't going to decide it by making that call.

stop

Are you just here to say "stop" to any Westbrook criticism? The man took 43 shots and a lot of them were ill-advised...to say some criticism isn't warranted would be rather asinine.

I hate how there’s no disciplinary action for them blowing a game like that. I watched it as a neutral fan not caring who won but seeing **** like this pisses me off.

Hate how the officials dictate the end of games

Exactly, I was even kinda cheering for Utah but that no call pissed me off. After consistently making that same call, you can't just decide "Oh I won't call this one" on the most imptnt shot of the series. :noway:

I dunno how it could've gone either way, Mitchell didn't touch Grant, it was Grant that was draped all over his back.

Having said that, I'm really disappointed in Russ that he couldn't shake hands with Mitchell and Gobert and Ingles. Dude ran for the exit without being a man.

Disgraceful.

Russ is a sore loser in defeat? Color me surprised.
