How blind are these refs wasting our time with errors

I love RJ clowning on the refs for this ridiculous call that'll surely be turned over.

Close game 4th quarter. Will the Thunder panic? If not, they are champs.

And the Pacers have reverted back to out of control, turnover basketball over the last ~4 minutes of game play. Just one unforced error after another.
OKC continues to create good looks. Even when SGA comes back in, they need to stay away from the SGA-ball-hog offense, at least for this game or until they get Indiana in the penalty.

Based on the broadcast, it sounded like one ref was really, really sure about the deflection and overruled the rest. I think that at least one ref was pointing the other way.

Force the team you want to lose to use a challenge early on grossly obvious bad call. Classic ref play

He’s plenty tough, but he’s a string bean.
Not sure Chet should get like Giannis. For one, Giannis can’t shoot.
Maybe, though Chets shot mechanics are a lot more sound than Giannis.
Giannis has like 0 arc on his jump shot. Unlike what happened with Giannis, a little muscle probably won't change Chets shot much.

Also, there are way too many commercial breaks.

OKC is doing a great job defending the 3 point line. Turner, Siakum can’t get a good look off of their normal action. Pacers are going to need one of them to hit shots

If SIakam can't catch the ball 15 ft from the basket and destroy SGA, he needs to come out.

TJM is so good damn lol

TJ seems like one of those guys you'll all just be hanging out and playing hackeysack or something, and he won't let you go home until he wins. And when you finally tell him its 10pm and you were supposed to be home 2 hours ago, he huffs and curses and then you see him the next day wearing the same clothes, and he smells, and he's holding the hackeysack and he immediately challenges you to a rematch.
And you know he literally didn't go home last night and just stayed in the alley practicing until it was time for school again.

OKC is switching everything. Now is the time to feed Siakim.
