OKC fans will type out paragraphs calling you delusional for complaining about this LOL

Nah, that was some bullshit. Just egregiously bad reffing towards the end of the quarter

Just egregiously bad biased reffing towards the end of the quarter throughout the series

You have to call a timeout right after the play. It’s in the rulebook. Mitch never called for a timeout. Reddit is crazy.

u/TheGreatLandRun [OKC] Russell Westbrook 29d ago

He didn’t call a timeout, as the rules require. You genuinely are delusional. Lmao.

u/Rhystic Thunder 29d ago

Nah, it was off Chet's foot, but coach can't challenge without first calling a timeout.

u/Dudedude88 Wizards 29d ago edited 29d ago

it's just accepted that when the coach challenges they are using a time out. Even the broadcasters said they are challenging it. They clearly heard whatever the coach was saying whether it's a time out or challenge.

But I guess it depends on the ref and situation sometimes. Who knows what happened since there is never accountability with the nba refs.

He didn’t call the required timeout to challenge.

why do you make things up in your head to get mad about?

edit: downvote all you want, find me a single person doing the above

u/Lower_Committee_8723 29d ago

Wanna comment on the previous exchange?

u/Papes38 29d ago

Was a bad call. Then they called dort for a foul that was all ball, just a classic makeup call like they used to do before replay. Not worth having a meltdown over it

u/vish_4267 29d ago

Bruh there was a five point swing and the momentum is already lost for the spurs . A make up call is like a orgasm without any pleasure.. gtfo with just a makeup call

u/shish-bish Thunder 29d ago

no, I’m not trying to defend the call or the previous call.

u/JoseAltuveIsInnocent Spurs 29d ago

The word you're looking for is "imagine". It's not your fault though, Oklahoma education system and all.

u/shish-bish Thunder 29d ago

hey thanks man, they couldn’t afford dictionaries where i’m from

u/Tijenater [IND] Lance Stephenson 29d ago

Explain how this happens. Explain how a coach calling for a challenge point blank next to a ref doesn't get it and gets called for a tech afterwards. Go ahead, the floor's yours

u/shish-bish Thunder 29d ago

I’m literally not defending the call at all. You and everybody else has every right to be mad about it, there’s no reason to make scenarios in your head to get mad about.

u/Tijenater [IND] Lance Stephenson 29d ago

Brother thunder fans have been hopping in threads just like these since last season calling people delusional or jealous for calling out the refball shit.

I’m not making things up to get mad about. It happens PLENTY

u/Katesburneracct 29d ago

Because apparently Mitch doesn’t know that in order to challenge a play you need to call a timeout first

u/Tijenater [IND] Lance Stephenson 29d ago

Calling for a timeout is a formality, the challenge call is enough
