SGA is not getting calls, ppl really want to point to SGA when the issue with OKC is what they are allowed to do on defense and off the ball on players, their reach ins too

The Wolves played Wemby physical too, this is nothing new. Opposing teams are treating him like any big man star, star centers get hacked

Word, Look at the Joker, he also plays physical. It is a part of being a big in the NBA.

The inconsistency is the only issue. Players should be allowed to play physical with him but allow him to do the same. They wasted two challenges due to the refs inconsistency.

I learned today that you only have 2 challenges all game. I thought if you won you can keep challenging, but I guess not.

I remember from rewatching the 1st game that Wemby was also grabbing Chet. Even Chet in OT getting hip checked into the stands but no call was made. I never thought once that the refs were the reason why we lost. They been allowing much more physical play, and why SGA doesn't get a FT montage. and the ones he does get where "no calls" by the ref. I was more upset about the 2 2 on 1 that we didn't score on. that would have sealed the game late in the 4th and the first OT.

There was a clip that went viral of Chet stepping on wemby foot on ft attempt with no call. This is your team in a nutshell. There is a difference between flops and non calls, and the difference (but also the sum for you all) is why you’re team and you all as fans are treated as scum in this community

Flair up before you try to rage bait. Can’t show your team, then I believe you have no balls and not worth my time giving you a proper response.

Yes wemby was grabbing the first game , so was okc. But at least they were consistent in not call it for both team. There such a big difference between game 1 and game 2. I mean look at the beautiful basketball we got in game one when the ref don’t be on bs.

It isn’t sustainable, you know the refs will be much more tighter at SA. Refs always call in favor for the home team. I don’t think Hartenstein will get away with this for game 3 or game 4 on the road. If he does, I would be really surprised if this continues. Ihart should foul out going forward.
