    OKC has relentlessly been on the attack, The Warriors have been extremely passive, settling for jumpers and quick shots. Of course the Ft disparity is going to be there. Never fails, each year the teams getting it handed to them have fans and bandwagon people groaning about officiating and coming up with conspiracies.

    Yes OKC is being favored by the refs and is the main reason as to why
    GS is in the brink of elimination.













    Not really

    Absolutely, OKC got away with some seriously dirty play vs Dallas, Durant should've been suspended for a flagrant elbow on Mejri.

    Pretty embarrassing shit given they were up against a team decimated by injuries.

    Very good point.

    If Durant leaves OKC, they'll be another meaningless small market team and the NBA will lose a lot of money.

    OKC has 3 guys that can penetrate to the basket aggressively in Waiters, Westbrook, and Durant.

    Steph can do it 1-2 times, but it's not his game.
    Klay can do it but not for a whole game.
    Iggy can't do it like he used to.

    the next best penetrator is Barbosa and he's a liability defensively if he plays beyond 15-20 minutes.

    Westbrook does actually get fouled and he looks to score when he gets in the paint. Durant gets superstar calls but I feel he's earned most of them. Refs have no called his rip through move at all.

    1st quarter
    1020 travel by Ibaka, no call
    955 phantom foul on Bogut
    920 out of bounds on Adams, called out on Bogut
    843 Curry fouled twice, no call
    516 Phantom foul on Iggy
    327 Adams elbows Ezeli, called foul on Ezeli. Steve Kerr begging refs, but not a single f*** was given

    2nd
    1123 phantom fouls on Klay and Speights
    1016 Iggy punched, no foul call
    957 Phantom foul, fts given to Durant
    845 Another phantom foul on Draymond, Durant gifted FTs
    755 offensive foul by WB, called foul on Thompson really bad
    739 phantom foul on Bogut takes away three away from Curry
    707 Draymond tripped right in front of ref, no call (payback for his kick flop in game 3, sure)
    658 Phantom foul on Curry, WB gifted FTs
    603 Phantom foul on Bogut
    515 Iggy shoved by Durant, no call
    10s Curry fouled shooting 3, no call

    3rd
    1100 Klay fouled shooting 3 no call
    1015 Curry fouled shooting 3 no call
    715 Draymond tripped twice, no call (payback for his kick flop in game 3, sure)
    640 another flop by Adams, phantom foul given to Bogut
    625 DG Offensive elbow by WB, no call
    527 WB given FTs again
    135 in 3rd shows Curry fouled 3 times no call

    4th
    1045 Speights fouled no call

    refs secured it at that point.


    OKC have mastered the art of flopping like total bitches and fouling hard in this series.

    OKC's been the aggressor. Refs are going to reward that. You can't get any calls if you settle for jump shots.

    OKC's touched up Steph a little bit off the ball but nothing egregious has been missed.

    GSW fans complaining about officiating is downright COMICAL.

    Warriors starters are actually +17 in this series. Makes those phantom fouls on Bogut and Klay look a lot worse.
