[Highlight] The Thunder fans start chanting “ref you suck”, with 6:30 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter of Game 1
Biting the hand that feeds, dangerous game
Biting the hand that feeds, coddles, handcuff other players, protects you…
Coming from a Knicks fan is hilariously ironic.
Somehow I’m ok with it. Despite being Silver’s favorite team and getting a clearly favorable whistle (not this last series, we just got whooped), it’s still nowhere close to the Thunder. A pacers fan should know this. Everything they get is amplified by the Thunder.
Head like a hole. They’d rather die than give refs control.

he really did say that too in emails he had a weird disconnect about it
Probably a WeLl AkShUlLy, when you prefer 13 and up we call them whogivesafuckfile.

Listen she made an important distinction that changed nothing
I want to say what that distinction actually was to highlight the absurdity, but I can’t bring myself to actually type it out.
of course he hated pedophiles. He did not want any competition
He’s an ebophile right? not a pedophile?
King Von advocating against gun violence
This means okc fans are just like epstein?
Yes.
Actually they are like Israel
Donald Trump: I’m not a pedophile.
Osama Bin Laden: I hate terrorists
George bush: I hate the person who did 9⁄11
Lolololol the perfect equivalent
When you know nothing but privilege, fairness feels like persecution.
Never heard that quote before. That’s a good one
The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards Lu Dort fouling out.
It gets strong playtime whenever little bitches try to claim reverse racism, white oppression, and all the rest of their bullshit.
Oh it’s triple platinum in the black community – esp. when we get asked questiones by white people shocked at the depths some of their contemporaries will go to hurt minorities and LGBTQ+ folks
Way underrated of a comment
reminds me of the president
And they still got the advantage. It just wasn’t as big as it normally is.
Idk. From what I gathered last night, it was more so that they didn’t actually start foul baiting until the last 3-5min of the game and OT when the score was close.
If I’m not crazy, and that’s an actual thing, it explains why they have lower FTA through the playoffs. Don’t need to weaponize foul baiting when you’re beating teams easily.
Don’t tell OKC fans that free throw differential isn’t literally the entire story. It’s also wild how many times refs would equalize free throws in the regular season with dumb fouls after the outcome was already clear
Ehhhh I’m not sure. If it wasn’t even (it was maybe the best officiated game I remember) I might lean towards us having the advantage.
Not significantly, and it might’ve just been OKC playing messy, but yeah.
There were some huge missed calls on our end (Castle’s viral dunk, Caruso undercutting him, obvious out of bounds misses, grabbing Wemby’s arm, obvious flagrant on Shai against Harper etc..)
They let some of our stuff go too, and it was certainly one of the best reffed games I’ve seen..I’d say this was just more akin to a normal home court advantage as opposed to what you normally get with OKC.
I realize this is an anti-Thunder party and I’m going to get downvoted for even asking this, but why do you feel like OKC had the ref advantage last night?
They got some really good calls in their favor important times.
SGA fouled Castle on *that* dunk three times
Chet grabbing Wemby’s arm on the dunk
Refs missing Caruso stepping out of bounds when he threw it off of Wemby
Refs missing a pretty obvious out of bounds call again that Spurs had to waste a challenge on
Missing the obvious flagrant on SGA against Harper
Allowing Caruso to do whatever he wants to Wemby on defense
Falling for several SGA flops including when he tripped Wemby..
Those are just some of the calls that come to mind. Like I said, it wasn’t egregious..and was actually more of the typical home court advantage type of calls. And I’ll be okay with it if it stays like this..but it was still advantage Thunder.
Allowing Caruso and Dort to slap down on SAS drives
I think this can be formatted like a haiku, can someone verify?
When you know nothing
But privilege, fairness feels
Like persecution
You have to say “pri-vi-lege” to make it work
Thank you!

Nah, not you. Any other fanbase in the league, but not you. You don’t say that. You the only fanbase on the league that ain’t allowed to say that.
“Ref you suck” yea, aiight.
All time LeBron meme
Soft ass fan base
I’d cheer for any team (well, except one) over them. The worst of the worst
You all melt down any time OKC gets a single weak call 😂
It’s because of the other 40 before it while 100 go uncalled from your guys imitating Kobe in Denver on defense.
So in this video there was no missed call before it? Lmao.
The hypocrisy is incredible. Not a single ounce of critical thinking 😂
Kinda weird for the home team to call out one of their biggest contributors like that
Should chant “refs you’re fired”
one of
So disrespectful man. Really underplays how integral they are to the success of their supposed stars. SGA would average like 18 a game if people were actually allowed to cover him instead of playing in fear. Their defense would be so much worse if they weren’t allowed to get away with ten fouls per possession.
This is a perennial second round exit at best without the refs. And you say one of their biggest contributors?!
No one hates like family.
This issssss Brazilcom Center
Shows how low of a IQ those pathetic fans have. Caruso should have fouled out if they call everything correctly
OKC is grabbing Wemby every possession off ball
and on every rebound and shot attempt
What else are we supposed to do?! Have you seen the guy??
If caruso and Dort were fully officiated for their fouls they would both foul out by halftime
Be fair, if you could hold wemby’s hand wouldn’t you?
The ally oop to win the game at the end of the 1st OT , Caruso mugged the guy in mid air.
Not to mention Chet holding Wemby’s hand while he dunks.
Lol no he didn’t, that’s incidental contact while they’re both going for the ball. Caruso smacked the shit out of the ball.
Edit: https://streamable.com/v2q9u5
An IQ. Not a IQ.
It’s funny what happens when other teams are allowed to be physical with the Thunder. Last night’s game was called incredibly well, if the Thunder are allowed to be physical on defense, so should the other team.
Donald Trump: I hate corruption
Count the votes! No wait, stop the count!
Now they know how the rest of the league feels watching the Thunder play lmao.
They really don’t though. That was just their first time seeing a game called fairly. That was genuinely some of the best reffing I’ve seen in an NBA game in years.
It makes it even more frustrating to me. Because you’re right, that was the best reffed game I’ve seen in years. It shows they know how to do it, but choose not to. We got a glimpse last night how amazing this game can be if they respect it.
Seeing back to back no calls on both offenses trying to foul bait was beautiful.
There were so many times I was waiting for a whistle that never came. It was nice.
The flow of this game was chefs kiss
Because they didn’t randomly start calling ticky tack fouls halfway through the game like they often do. It was a breath of fresh air. It was physical and they let a lot of contact go, but you could tell the teams were able to actually adjust to it
This is the big reason I really only watch playoffs. The regular season has so much BS with the refs that I don’t take it seriously.
And they still didnt call as many as they should on the thunder. They got away with so much shit
Free throw merchants need free throws to win, shocking
Caruso did a very good job of toeing the line on his patented reach over the back foul on entry passes to Wemby, that shit eventually gets called by the refs and the Spurs did a great job late in the game of moving the ball one more time and then throwing it in to Wemby at an adjusted angle.
If OKC fans are mad at this obvious hold by McCain they’re going to be really butthurt when Caruso starts racking up fouls on Wemby. No reaching over and or grabbing the shoulders of post players when they’re catching the ball is not “great defense” it’s a god damn foul.
Hard agree. It’s a tired point, but it’s so obvious with the eye test how much more leash Caruso and Dort get than they should
As much as they are both great defenders, the amount of times they were slapping Jokic all over last year without getting called made me so mad
They easily get bounced in that series if reffed properly. Drove me crazy that I had to side with Jokic and the nuggets but I just wanted the game reffed at least semi fairly. Yeah SGA flops, but lots of stars do. No one gets away with murder on defense while getting flops on the other end except the Thunder.
They lose 4-1 in the finals most likely as well. Complete ref merchants and they have the nerve to lose it when they’re reffed fairly.
It’s so cute ☺️
It brings me to tears how all 29 fanbases collectively agree on this single notion. Love to see it lmfao.
They are hated like they won 15 titles in a row. It it just a product of how disgusting their brand of basketball is to watch or compete against.
couldn’t the refs have just rigged 2025 game 7 so indy wins? they definitely deserved it more
Haven’t seen this since r/nba rooted for Steph Curry as a collective in the Olympics. The unity brings a tear to my eye.
Crazy seeing a fanbase turn on their MVP.
When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
That was one of the best-officiated NBA playoffs games I have seen, full stop.
Thats why they started chanting.
This is a stadium full of people who routinely watch the OKC broadcast team. Completely brainwashed.
Booing players on your team is crazy
How ironic
Lol.
Calling the kettle black.
It’s always weird when the fans boo their own team
Agree. We never do that to our bulls, no matter how wack the season is.
Crowd is going through freethrow withdrawal. Lmao
this clip is gonna go triple platinum but tbh its not even that crazy this happens like every time a call goes against the home team in a big game lol
their 6th Man really fell off this series.
imagine yelling that at your second most valuable player smh
Second?

Not a single soft ass okc fan in here trying to start shit. Shows how much of wussies they are
Lmfao
This was the moment you knew the refs were calling the game well.
That and the couple shocked looks on Dort’s face in Q1.
That’s rich
As requested by u/Inevitable_Big_1966
is there any closeup of the Caruso play to end OT or just the broadcast view where its hard to see exactly what happens.
There were other angles. The pass was not well placed, it was low and short - needed to be 2-3 feet longer and on the far side of the rim. Caruso tipped it first, and Castle would have had to pull off a Jordanesque blind reverse layup while falling to even have a prayer. No chance for a dunk even without Caruso.
The broadcast angle made it seem like it was right there in front of the rim, but it was well short from the other angles.
Neutral fan here they suck every game the fans in this sub only care if they suck for the thunder though
Yeah, it’s absurd. The game could be called so clearly for the other team and it would just be labeled as “deserved” by the braindead masses in this sub.
After all the calls they got throughout the whole season 🤦♂️
They were just disappointed to see the most important player on their squad not pulling their weight
The fans are massive babies just like the roster. A perfect match.
At least they’re engaged, unlike clippers fans…and players.
Meanwhile it was the best reffed game we’ve seen in awhile😂
lovers’ quarrel
After a clean foul too lmao
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you
Really funny given the refs did everything to help their favorite team win but they fell just a little short.
This is a joke right?
Lmao this is hilarious
“when you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression”
After a very obvious hold on that box out attempt. Lol
Thunder fans are bloody unbearable. Booing at literally every foul all game. Cheering for things getting reviewed.
First opportunity OKC fans have ever had to complain about the refs.
I think the Wolves series really prepared the Spurs. Wolves were VERY physical, they were ready for OKC last night
When I was watching it live, I thought that chanting “Wemby sucks”
pulls out ukulele and strums a tune Ooooooooh the ironyyyyyyyyyy
You hate to see it when a team’s fan base turns on their best player. It’s like watching Bucks fans boo Giannis. F’s in the chat.
This was some of the best officiating we’ve seen in the playoffs. Both teams had their moments of gettin away with stuff but it was very balanced. It’s crazy how hard it is for OKC fans to cope with the fact their team simply got outplayed, they have to latch onto the idea it’s someone else’s fault. This was one of the main things they criticized all of the other fanbases of for months.
The hypocrisy of them doing this despite is not lost on us.
When you’re accustomed to the whistle privilege, equality feels like oppression.
I honestly felt the game was reffed pretty fairly.
Legend has it chet is still holding wembys arm
Pandas start chanting “Bamboo you suck”
Pretty solid reffing in a physical game with bodies flying - not easy. Epic game too.
LeBronYouCantSayThat.gif
My biggest national broadcast gripe is the lack of replays. Like why not show the replay here to the national broadcast? I guess I’m just used to the local broadcast who replays every foul on both teams. Sometimes multiple angles if it’s a close call.
Sidney Deane: You see Billy it’s like this, you either smoke or you get smoked. And you got smoked.
The irony.
When you’re accustomed to the BS whistle, equality feels like oppression doesn’t it OKC?
They turning against their 6th starter now??
Soft…
No no no. It was ‘Chet you suck’, which isn’t nice.
Can’t box out like that. Good call by the ref.
I’m pretty sure Zarbs is the most trusted ref according to the player’s association
One of the few refs i havent heard someone talk shit about. Jeff Teague even said he was his favorite his whole career
Ironic
There were so many bad/ missed calls both ways and yet this was one of the best reffed games Thunder have played so that is saying a lot.
After all the grandstanding last series?
Top 10 family betrayals
Happens in every basketball game. I have attended many nba games and yelling at the refs is a normal part of the game
How delusional are OKC fans to be saying this lol
Lmao look at that crowd, what do you expect
Clowns. 🤡
Pot meet kettle
Lame.
The irony lol.
What’s the old saying? Chet got beaten like a redheaded step child?
Facts are the enemy of this sub.
Weird there aren’t many OKC fans in this thread
This is a litany of people whining about people who are whining
Boo hoo! Sucks when your star can’t get 15 FTs for flopping all over the court.
Oh do they
Some of you are so weird. Fans do this all the time
That’s so rich
I love all the Thunder bashing in here. It’s very entertaining.
I mean McCain didn’t even attempt to use his body to box out, all arms facing and grabbing vassal. Just not close.
Trouble in Paradise
The refs: “I thought we were friends :( “
I busted out laughing when I heard the chant.
They just insulting their 6th man like that?
Pot, meet kettle.
THIS HAS TO BE A OXY MORON IN SOME TYPE OF WAY 😂😂😂😂
pathetic 😂😂😂
Weird. I’ve never seen this posted for any other team these playoffs, despite every arena doing it.
Because it’s a nothing burger, but so many weirdos have a hard on for despising the Thunder. It’s honestly kind of disturbing.
[removed]
Wasn’t there a scandal of exactly refs fixing games like not that long ago?
I think the exact context makes this look even worse for the fans in that arena. You’re seriously that pressed over a guy not getting a flagrant for a bit of shoulder contact?
This doesn’t seem that noteworthy when every team’s fans do this, especially in the playoffs when things are magnified.
It’s not noteworthy at all, the game wasn’t well officiated either, but because the spurs got the whistle it’s “fair”.
Yall will upvote anything. Jfc this sub is full of fucking cry babies
Oh boy the thread where we all lower our IQ and pretend this doesn’t happen at every sporting event across the country lol
