The end of this game was a complete shit show. Ugly basketball. Fists nearly flying. And the final two minutes took about 10 minutes.

voltron818 | Thunder

40 | 5 hours ago

Refs did a horrendous job and didn’t do shit to lower the temperature of the game and it got out of hand in the most predictable way possible.

Nar1y | Thunder

22 | 5 hours ago

Ed Malloy is an incompetent motherfucker

Financial-Park-7616

16 | 5 hours ago

How the hell he called that back court despite being in no position to call it and replay showed it was an awful call

wcooper97 | OKC

2 | 4 hours ago

Led to us hitting a corner 3 too, had the play continued. NOLA then promptly hit one of their own after the whistle. 6 point swing off that call.

wcooper97 | OKC

There’s a reason his name is synonymous with the “DOH ED MALLOY” call.

JayDee62 | LAL

And you could see it coming earlier when Zion and Dort would just be going back and forth, attempting to be physical with each other off-ball.

V17R | Australia

3 | 4 hours ago

Bey & JayWil as well.

Refs let this one get out of hand due to shitty inconsistent reffing as usual. Bad calls going both ways, something that is a foul in the 1st quarter suddenly isn’t in the 2nd and then is again in the 3rd. Call a weak foul here and follow it up with an obvious missed call elsewhere.

That sort of reffing always leads to chippy games with neither side happy.

jumpman0035 | OKC

No one could hit a shot. Ugly game. Glad we won but could have easily lost.

Great team defense on Murphy III who we put in jail

Chet was also elite on defense yet again and locked in offensively

Silver linings

Greenwalrus72 | Nuggets

Murphy was taking some hard shots but tbf most of those 3s weren’t that tough

He just bricked all of them

Dreamlifehunting | Pelicans

Murphy really didn’t get any easy shots. Very good defense. Herb was bricking open threes though, rough shooting game for him but he was great on defense as always.

Chet was incredible on both ends tonight. Player of the game was well deserved.

sktyrhrtout

It’s pretty obvious how big Ajay Mitchell is to this team. Not having someone else who can create their own shot and get the defense to collapse is killing the second unit.

Standard-Law5916 | Thunder

Anyone know why Dort attacked fears at the end of the game. Looks Like he actually pressed him over nothing, did fears say or do something earlier in the game?

z55en | Thunder

10 | 5 hours ago

idk this is like the 5th time fears has been in the middle of something like this

It’s something about Fears, for sure. He has a way of getting under people’s skin. Wait I mean, FUCK DORT!

podnito | Pelicans

8 | 5 hours ago

I’m a Pelicans fan, and I will admit the suck

OKC is the defending NBA champion

So how come out of the 29 NBA teams we will probably lose to this season, the OKC games are the only ones that little micropenis guys have to come onto the /r/NOLAPelicans postgame thread to talk shit like they contributed to the win?

Nar1y | Thunder

Send their usernames over to the mods at /r/Thunder and they’ll get banned

SadPels | Pelicans

Nah, OKC fans aren’t as bad about that as Phoenix fans. The Suns/Pels games in December were hella toxic

Also, OKC/NOLA will always have a mutual respect for the OKC Hornets years

News flash, the fans of teams you match up against most will likely be the ones you hear from most. Lakers and warriors fanbase dwarves OKC anyway.

None of those teams are in our division (or the pels’).

Yes, the pelicans are in your division. Plenty of games with the other two teams though.

Dunno what to tell you. Report them and move on, or feel free to cry about it here. I can’t stop you.

I remember the Lakers fans barging in after beating us to make the play-in game acting like they’d won their 40th title. And then calling us a poverty franchise… seems like they never heard the wrestling adage about not calling your opponent a nobody because if you win then who cares, if you lose then how much do you suck losing to a nobody?

You can behave like a loser but still win the game. It’s called bad sportsmanship.

V17R | Australia

-1 | 4 hours ago

Bad sportsmanship is Fears running his mouth cause he’s in his feelings about the game.

Fears has started plenty of altercations already this season, he’s got a rep as being a hot head. He was also pushing and shoving his coaches / trainers after this too instead of letting it go, it was a temper tantrum from a rook who got clamped tonight.

DecentNamesAllUsed

2 | 4 hours ago

Fears is a just turned 19 year old kid. Dort is a grown man. Trying to fight a kid is pathetic regardless of whether Fears said something or not, which from another angle if this it doesn’t look like he did

V17R | Australia

-1 | 4 hours ago

Don’t let your mouth write checks your ass can’t cash, you think he can say whatever he likes on the court and get away with it cause he’s young?

All Lu did was grab him and let him know that shit isn’t going to fly with him, there were no punches thrown.

Fears was yapping all game, not just at the end.

voltron818 | Thunder

He won the game, though.

And also the NBA Finals btw

lloopiN

Fears tried him lol. Lu was over it and Fears was pushing his coach even when he was damn near in the locker room. Just looked like a temper tantrum from a rookie who was mad he got clamped up lol

DecentNamesAllUsed

-6 | 5 hours ago

Imagine being 26 and trying to start a fight with a 19 year old kid. What an utter loser. Must have shoved him at least 3 times.

Financial-Park-7616

1 | 5 hours ago

You know definitively he was provoked by fears?

DecentNamesAllUsed

-2 | 5 hours ago

Sorry, what? Where in my comment does it indicate I’m suggesting that Fears provoked him? In the replay, it looked like Fears got fouled and the foul wasn’t called which upset Fears, and then Lu started in on him, and shoved him at least 3 times.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (37-10) defeat the New Orleans Pelicans (12-36), 104-95.
