I love how the OKC fans are like “you could call a foul on every play when it is helping their team massively.

They are just as bad as I remember. Worst fanbase in the league not named Lakers. Steal teams following tragedies and act like you deserve anything and this is the entitled shite you get.

Nah not really. I haven’t been given 12 free throws in this half. Jokic has.


Despite likely 12 fouls on him not being called. let that sink in how much they were letting them get away with to get to this point.

So what you are saying is the Thunder are gang raping the nugs non stop?


Extra free throws will not help overcoming getting fouled every trip down the court.

But I’m biased. But Coruso is bear humping Joker, every, play. No breaks.

They are clearly letting Jokic get mauled and fouled on almost every possession. I’m unbiased and don’t care for either team.

Nuggets fans gotta be doing some mental gymnastics trying to find a reason to credit the refs for the Thunder’s 14 point lead despite shooting 11 more free throws

OKC even spotted Denver a 10 point lead and now lead by 14, even with FT disparity

Lots of mad Jokic fans in here lol.

When you're playing a team who bases their entire gameplan around being fouled, but it isn't reciprocated, it's really frustrating to watch

Eh, their fanbase is fine in general. Two of the ones who post here are terrible though unfortunately.

I know that Denver is banged up, lack of bench, and the Thunder being really good all factor into the Thunder being up right now. But you can’t ignore the constant fouling the Thunder are being allowed. The refs are calling a fraction of it so good for them.

Absolutely wild stuff. And you know these dudes are in every other NBA thread talking about how the Association is pussified these days and how the refs don’t let people play defense

OKC's entire strategy is to bet the refs won't keep calling them and to keep fouling, and it's working.

The timberwolves are super physical on defense too, but at least they don't flop like bitches on offense.

This is a team that literally pushed to steal a team following a massive natural disaster. That is legit pathetic. Think about that for a minute.

People in gulf coast were drowning; lost everything and trying to just rebuild to survive and this fanbase was sitting there trying to snake their pro franchise away just like San Antonio tried to do with the Saints.

I will never support a team from that shithole after that.

This has nothing to do with recognizing utter bullshite biased officiating ruining a game 7 and turning basketball into street ball.

I may be in the minority, but if you are that aggressive on defense to where the offensive player can’t even move or turn, it shouldn’t be a foul if you get elbowed.

The thing they're reviewing now is 100% Thunder playing the refs as strategy.

I know we all like our teams but this undebatable
