111 FGA for Heat vs 76 for OKC, how the fuck does that happen?

Pterox511 | Raptors

Out-rebounded by a crazy margin. Look up the difference in second chance points between the team.

OKC89ers | Thunder

2 | 6 hours ago

Not exactly, offensive rebounds but not total. Plus, OKC for once absolutely got crushed on turnovers

Pterox511 | Raptors

Sorry yeah, that’s what I meant

Thunder’s weakness has always been rebounding. They got IHart to fix it, but he’s injured.

It’s still a weakness for them.

M00OSE | Thunder

Losing the rebound game is almost a given at this point, but the turnover game? Heat’s pace and ball security makes this a very difficult matchup for us

Hartenstein rebounds for them. He is out, chet gets bodied by opposite centre

Caruso for the last shot is an interesting choice.

Chet was wide open under the rim with no one defending him.

There was exactly 2 seconds left when Caruso could have even possibly started the motion of passing

I was yelling at my tv that. Would have made up for the miss on the inbounds.

Can’t be that uncommon, Utah almost did it by beating Detroit and losing to OKC in overtime.

InstructionAlive1086 | Pacers

People calling SGA “not valuable” should watch this game. Thunder are down bad without SGA on offense, dude gave 40 and they still lost.

Thunder might be a play-inn team without SGA lmao.

Nuclearsunburn | Heat

1 | 5 hours ago

The Nuggets winning without Jokic is also tilting it back in SGA’s favor. We are so incredibly spoiled to have those two in the league at the same time and still be able to watch Curry and Lebron.

OKC lost the turnover battle by a huge margin.

FinancePro21 | Thunder

Turnovers and rebounding. Heat take 34 more shots and get a pretty generous whistle but can only win by 2. Pretty crazy.

More concerned about the JDub and Hartenstein injuries than the loss itself.

THUNDER FLOPPERS.

Again, another very very silly OKC fan. How about last game when the floppers went over back court and the ref did not call it? You are dirty, flopping, leg kicking on jumpshot, bluetooth foul baiters.

Go outside

_PeteRoss_

I have been outside twice today. In that time the Thunder Floppers lost twice.

I give this hate watch 91% on rottentomatoes. Fantastic game, excellent performance by the HEAT cast, great direction from Spoelstra, great plot, loved the offensive foul called on the antagonist SGA for foul baiting. Down to the wire and the good guys win in the end.

_PeteRoss_

-3 | 6 hours ago

LOL. Thunder Floppers.

FinancePro21 | Thunder

-7 | 6 hours ago

GG Heat…. But don’t need to hear anything about an OKC whistle for a while. That foul on SGA at the end was brutally bad. I’ve never seen a defender leave their feet on a pump fake and draw an offensive foul.

_PeteRoss_

6 | 6 hours ago

SGA gets enough bluetooth whistles. As soon as he drives in the paint and makes a face we hear a whistle.

nicfanz

3 | 5 hours ago

You know no one will side with you since you’re an OKC fan

FinancePro21 | Thunder

0 | 5 hours ago

Yeah I get it. The Thunder didn’t deserve to win losing the possession battle as badly as they did, but the SGA narratives get old. Guy is nothing but class.

I would say it will be nice when the hate shifts to Wemby or someone else, but they’re going to have to win a title for that to happen. So hope SGA keeps getting hated on for a while.

nicfanz

2 | 5 hours ago

And why does Wemby deserve hate more than SGA?

FinancePro21 | Thunder

2 | 5 hours ago

He doesn’t…just saying he will eventually (baring injury) be unstoppable and most likely win a title. People hate what they don’t have.

Jazzlike_Royal_9567 | Thunder

Okc whistle hasn’t existed for awhile now. But what we now have is an anti-okc whistle. Never ever in my whole 30+ years of watching basketball have I ever seen ever a foul like the offensive foul on Shai. Ever. Like never. Bc it’s the opposite of the rule book.

Parking-Rope2301 | Warriors

7 | 6 hours ago

The backcourt violation yesterday was just as bad of a call. Stop playing the victim when we all know you get an insane number of questionable calls in your favor.

Nuclearsunburn | Heat

2 | 5 hours ago

Also the phantom foul THAT GOT UPHELD ON REVIEW against Bam on Cason Wallace in the game a week ago in OKC,

Jazzlike_Royal_9567 | Thunder

-4 | 6 hours ago

Backcourt violation when the game was 99% wrapped up is the same as a phantom offensive foul when it’s a 3 point game with possession. Sure. Shai should have been going to the line to make it a 5 point game… but go ahead and enjoy your evening since my team losing is the best thing that could happen apparently.

Parking-Rope2301 | Warriors

3 | 6 hours ago

It’s still the same quality of call. And you could point to many other instances of OKC getting just as ridiculous calls in their favor. Yet the one time it happens to OKC, all of you guys start whining about it.

Jazzlike_Royal_9567 | Thunder

-4 | 6 hours ago

A missed call that the ref legitimately didn’t see (shown on replay that the ref’s eyes were averted for the backcourt violation) is very different than a ref staring directly at a play and making the exact opposite call of the rule book. That call changed the likelihood of a Thunder win from about 96% to 60% in one fell swoop. We are not discussing the same type of situation here at all.

Parking-Rope2301 | Warriors

TIL there is only one ref in a basketball game.
