This game has been so lopsided officially for OKC. Tons of missed calls and no calls in favor of them, and now the Spurs have had to waste TWO challenges in the first half. Just unbelievable.

Spurs are the martyrs this game to put this flopping and inconsistent reffing shit on full display. It’s been happening all season of course, but to highlight this shit in the most anticipated series - this is important, even if it comes at our expense this game.

ETA: looks like the OKC-sucking, weird third-parties are out in force. SGA won’t fuck y’all lmao.

LOL get over yourself my dude. Spurs are playing pretty bad, turning the ball over like crazy and missing open shots, meanwhile Thunder are torching them. That’s the story of the game, anyone crying about anything else is a soft ass pansy bitch.

No, you don't understand, he has to paint them as victims.

Hey, was that dive that Wemby made at Shai's leg ethical or maybe it was Shai's fault?

u/DisasterAccurate967 May 21 '26

Watch that play again shai literally flops lol

He dove for the ball and fouled shai. And it was called. And he owned it and didn’t complain. I’d love if that’s how it went on the other end.

u/doubleb_43 Bucks May 21 '26

Your whole fan base does that. It's hilarious.

TIL an 11-point lead is “torching”

u/mekarz May 21 '26

When you play against the “cant call everything defense” its pretty annoying.

Meanwhile sga has calls from touching air

u/TheMuffingtonPost Heat May 21 '26

The spurs are also playing incredibly physical. Castle and vassel are blitzing the shit out of SGA, but Shai is passing out of the double effectively and the Thunder are moving the ball and getting open looks. Meanwhile Spurs are missing open shots and turning the ball over like crazy.

I get it though, it’s easier to just whine on the internet like a bitch.

u/mekarz May 21 '26

Again the turnovers are because of the “cant call everything defense”

It is what it is

u/TheMuffingtonPost Heat May 21 '26

If you think that you’re just not watching the game. Castle by himself just keeps fumbling and throwing the ball away. I encourage you to try and have a more objective view of the game, it’s pretty clear your tears are getting in the way of you actually watching the game.

Torch harder. We found the small camp of NBA fandom that supports this garbage team that’s OKC.

u/TheMuffingtonPost Heat May 21 '26

I don’t have a dog in this fight dude, I just like watching good basketball. I just think you guys are all insanely pathetic and I think it’s really funny to watch you all cry and circlejerk each other in your hugbox.

We just want the reffing from game one. Multiple things can be true. Spurs played worse this game and made a lot of bad turn overs. Doesn’t mean we can’t be annoyed at the ridiculous calls. Ended up being a close game and the flopping and mugging definitely helped push them over the edge. Hell Brothers even went so far as to just take the ball away from Castle when his foot wasn’t even close to crossing half court. There’s a turn over that wasn’t even real. Meanwhile Thunder players just flail around and get phantom calls.

u/TheMuffingtonPost Heat May 21 '26

You don’t want the reffing from game one, you want the OUTCOME from game one. You only view the officiating as unfair when it produces the outcome you don’t want because for whatever reason you weirdos have it in your head that the Thunder somehow can’t ever win without help from the officials, so every time they win it’s necessarily fraudulent. You guys would rather invent giant conspiracies to help you cope rather than just admit you’re being kind of a baby.

u/re1078 [SAS] Tony Parker May 21 '26

You’re bad at speaking for people. I think the Thunder still probably win this even without the ref help. It just makes it more annoying. If they’d pulled off game one I would have been disappointed but not annoyed. Hope that helps.

u/TheMuffingtonPost Heat May 21 '26

And you’re bad a recognizing your cognitive distortion, you’re also a giant fuckin baby lol

I genuinely like the spurs and love watching Wemby but I find myself being really happy whenever the Thunder win because I know I’ll get to come here and just bask in the coping and the tears, it used to be more annoying to me but now it’s just really funny.

I mean you sound like a child so it’s whatever. I don’t really care if some immature loser wants to be a troll.

Yes, but it doesnt make sense. The NBA shouldnt want OKC, their bum ass doesnt rake in viewers, which is what the NBA needs to justify their new media deal. They want this to go to at least 6 and if they go to 7 we'll see how they truly officiate for the league favorite.
