You clearly knew it was flagrant from your couch, yet the coaches on the bench didn't know.

Say what? Coaches can’t dictate flagrant fouls. That review comes from league/refs. Coaches can challenge if a called foul is not a foul. They can argue to refs but are not able to challenge to ask for a flagrant.

Mark knew the game was over. He likely said something afterwards thats how he operates.

No one will find any film of OKC players bitching about refs after a game, but will find SAS players and coaches bitching.

Again, the narrative will switch over the next few years. SAS will be the next victim to be labeled as floppers and getting calls. Will be interesting how Wemby handles it. Seems his team is ok whining so how will they handle when it flips? They’ll be good for some time and that flopper script is already written. Once they get to top all arrows are directed at them.

Game 1 was great, no whistle.

Yeah game 1 was one of the best games I've ever watched. Basketball is always better when they let some things go.
