Thunder Playoffs

I don't normally watch sports but did watch tonight's game as it was in the last two minutes where the players actually play basketball as it should be played the entire game.
Pretty exciting. Sadly, the Thunder lost.

The challenge call on the foul (3 by Washington) was absolutely terrible. Keep your timeout and use it to advance the ball after the free throws. They likely would have gotten a decent look to end the game, considering that they'd be in-bounding in their half-court with at least 2 seconds remaining.

The right play was to not foul the 3 point shooter.

I'd rather see the shot contested than not. It was a clean block with contact afterwards (but still an obvious foul). Had there not been that secondary contact, its a unbelievably great game winning defensive play. There is no excuse for burning a final timeout, challenging a foul that was unquestionably a foul.

Mavs might win one game in the wcf imo no matter which team they play.

Young team and new coach, got a lot of good experience. They will be back and maybe get some size with the draft pick. Thunder is in a good spot.

Luka finally got a technical called on him tonight. I'm shocked.

I wonder if Luka is sending a stack of cash delivered by a hoochie to the refs hotel rooms? Or does is take a courier from Cuban?

The difference as to what it takes to draw a foul call was bordering on blatant tonight through the first 3.5 quarters, then I think the refs figured they better even it up a little and called some on the Mavs.

Thunder almost lead that game from start to finish. Mavs made the plays at the end. OKC needs to add some size and height to compete with the teams that are left.

Damn.

I think the lack of a big guy is the ONLY thing they lack.
