[Highlight] Stephon Castle’s hair gets pulled by Isaiah Hartenstein, no call, and Jared McCain hits the 3-pointer (with a replay of the pull)
This keeps getting taken down.
wtf are the mods doing?
Fucking mods
Mods are Tony Brothers probably
*the tony brothers
Tony Brothers brothers
Mike or Dan?
Probably paid by the NFL as well

Nba has folks here. Nba isn’t as bad though.
NFL also is modded by NFL. When Commanders were booing the president it was basically off ALL sports subreddits. Even the news didn’t cover it.
Bro the official broadcast went out of their way to show a slow-motion replay. I dont think this is the NBA deleting posts lol.
NBA NBAing.
OKC fans are the biggest b!thches in sports and they report anything that exposes their dirty team.
You can say OKC fans are bitches.
Probably wearing SGA’s jersey or shoes when viewing this post.

OKC, this is why people hate your team, it’s not because you guys are good or “people hate the champs” or some shit like that.
If it was just 1 player it would be manageable but in this case its basically their whole fucking team doing dirty shit. This might be one of the few times historically all 29 franchise can say they hate 1 specific one for the exact same reason
Fr. Not even 1 game since Chet stomped on Wemby’s foot at the ft line
Some fucking how Dort is being the cleanest player in the series for OKC.
OKC is sending a message. If other players and the refs cant do the job, they will release Dort for all sorts of dirty play
It’s because he’s getting benched this series. We’re barely seeing him.
He’s still trying to get his fair share of dirty shit in. Just about smacked Wemby in the face while he was on the ground in I think the 3rd quarter?
As a Pacers fan, other than Hali going down in game 7, the prevailing image of last year’s finals is McConnell pleading to the ref STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO HIM as Dort is handcuffing his wrist.
The stomp gets the clips, but he was pulling on Wemby’s arm all night
He didn’t stomp his foot, did pin it though.
Caruso bodychecked a middair Castle in game one though.
There are like, 4 players on their team who all 1. Have terrible vibes, and 2. Play dirty as all hell.
If you’re gonna pull hair on one play, and then flop on the next possession, people are gonna hate you. And to not even look like you are having fun or even like your teammates? Get outta here man.
And then the whole fanbase embraces it. Just a garbage organization from top to bottom.
What do you expect from people who likely can’t even spell their own state’s name
Yep. This is as much the NBA/officiating and on the OKC team.
They’re obviously so desperate to have some big bad dynasty for the rest of the league and its fans to hate, that it feels like the officials just swallow whistles at opportune times, only for them.
They’re a GREAT team. They just don’t need this fucking help.
There was a play in the 4th where Caruso got fouled while shooting, the ref called the foul, and Caruso was already complaining to the ref. It wasn’t even a late whistle either, the ref blew the whistle as he was fouled.
They just look like clowns at this point. The frustrating thing is that it works.
This is the core issue. It’s a team strategy of gamesmanship, and one the refs should be penalizing, yet aren’t. And the most insulting thing is OKC doesn’t need to do this shit to win.
Facts, but they so butt hurt and indenial they not gone listen
Them feigning ignorance to stuff like this is crazy to me
They might actually be that stupid
The word might is unnecessary
Explains why Oklahoma is 45th in education in the US.
Call me a casual or whatever, but this season I’ve stopped being an OKC fan. I’m from Australia so no connection really, and I just can’t watch their games anymore. Gonna ride with the sonics when they get going again
I’ve seen insanely good teams and dynasties throughout my lifetime (Kobe-Shaq Lakers, Spurs, Heatles, and Warriors), and people wanted them to lose because they favored the underdogs. The people want this OKC team to lose not only because they’re good, but they’re fucking pathetic.
Nobody wants to watch refball and okc basketball is the peak of it.
They could three peat and no one other then Thunder fans and boxscore watchers will consider them great
I don’t hate physical basketball, but the benefit OKC receives from calls is insane. They’re both dirty and floppy fishes. Imagine having 5 Hardens flop-wise and 80s Detroit of dirty defense at the same time.
And even when the refs allow physicality on both sides, OKC just has to play normally while the other team has to step up their physically from normal to match. So the other team would be more out of their element and be at a disadvantage despite a fair whistle.
I’ve never hated so much a team man, I can’t put into words. It’s the worst team I’ve ever watched.
I certainly did not care for the Rockets with Harden.
At least with Harden you knew it was gonna catch up with him, and he was more of a baiter. He’d sacrifice a possession or a shot to draw a foul. Literally go out of his way to try and get fouled.
The thing with Harden was, his tactics would stop working in the playoffs for the most part compared to the regular season like it should be
But for OKC it doesn’t matter I guess
And the Rockets weren’t this dirty on defense. For OKC it’s not just one thing. It’s everything combined.
Atleast other players were not shit. This entire team is shit and refs somehow see some of this and still do nothing g
I would rather the 2017 Warriors be transported back through time and rattle off the next 10 straight titles rather than see this OKC team win another one.
Yeah I get it
Yeah this entire “hate them because they’re the champs” is so dumb. I don’t/didn’t hate the bucks, raptors, LA, Nuggets when they won a chip. Even Celtics I already didn’t like before their ring. It’s just a easy cop out because thunder fans can’t argue the actual criticisms about this team.
I just got banned by calling hartenstein a joke over there at thunder subreddit for doing that.
Yeah brigading a team sub will usually get you banned idk what you expectdd
If they could read, they’d be offended by that
they dont understand thay
I would still love Pacers if they won last year and I’m a neutral.
I’m not a “they are winning too much so I hate them” kind of guy though. I genuinely only care about good basketball.
Everyone hated OKC before they won a championship.
I still haven’t seen someone pull the clip of Dort going after Wemby’s knee. Forget what quarter it happened in. Under the hoop. Looked like Dort went after the back of Wemby’s knee when Wemby was coming down for a rebound. Wemby came up gimpy.
Dort does that a lot.
Flagrant here bruh. Easily
thats a guaranteed ejection like 100% of the time
100% of the non Tony Brothers time.
well yeah true because tony brothers is a fucking idiot
Tony was designated a tier 1 ref, how dare you
Nah I had so many people arguing he’s actually a good ref because I know his name and he makes the most boneheaded calls and no calls every game he refs.
not even being funny rn this is worthy of a suspension. just disgusting behavior
[deleted]
This was black on black crime.
Same with the throat punch to Reid
When he gets away with grabbing Wemby all game, of course he’s gonna escalate.
It really feels like the refs want to keep this series going as long as they can.
Every possession, harkenstein should’ve been in foul trouble 5 min into the 1st
San Antonio needs an enforcer to come in and protect their guys. Bring back Nazr Muhammad
I just want to see David Robinson deck one of these dudes so bad
If Good Ol’ Admiral came back just to deck someone that person would need to retire out of all pro sports, forget about knocking teeth it would straight up break a jaw.
Should assess something for game 3.
Those whistles got swallowed so quick
It’s not even about who won the game. This is just dirty af
ref is looking right at the play too. absolutely wild that they just swallowed the whistle on a literal hair pull
Ill do you one better, no foul
Does everyone become a cunt when they join the Thunder
when they move to oklahoma actually, you can tell from the comments
Can confirm. Moved to Oklahoma for three years, was a cunt. I got better when I left.
[removed]
Jesus
Can confirm, been like that since 2008.
It was like that before it entered the Union, they don’t call them Sooners cause they are good people.
I totally get why every Oklahoma fan is going to love what’s going on and not care that they’re winning in large part due to the fact that they are getting away with bloody murder.
What was the last good thing that ever happened in Oklahoma?
This is it. For however long this lasts they got to enjoy this because they live in Oklahoma.
Their coach incentives’ flopping and dirty plays that they can get away with.
They literally coach flopping lol. Yes.
Must be a coaching or culture thing.
Hartenstein, Caruso, McCain all were beloved players in previous stints before OKC with no dirty rep whatsoever in a large sample size
I can assure you he wasn’t like this in NY.
lol it’s Oklahoma bro, everyone there is trash
It’s like a charisma black hole. I’ve never seen so many players on one team with such bad vibes.
Wtf how is this not a flagrant. Someone send this to the league
If Steph Castle’s hair is not suspended for G3, we riot.
/s
Fuck okc
We need to start calling their title fake. No one respects shit like this
It is fake. Haliburton tore his Achilles.
Plus the shameless ref job in Game 4 when they were down 2-1
I thought i was crazy.
Like everytime Pacers had some momentum build up whistles back to back. Kept happening.
I know history won’t remember the team that lost in the finals but I really hope the pacers run / halis injury is remembered over OKC winning.
Noone expected the pacers run not to mention the ungodly amount of game winners by hali. That pacers run will 100 percent be more memorable considering they were able to push the thunder to 7
People tell me it’s a delusional take that if Hali doesn’t tear his achilles, Pacers win. He almost had double digit points in the first quarter, he was on a fucking mission before it was abruptly aborted.
I mean it already is. The only OKC moment I’ve heard someone talk about is the whole Caruso on Jokic thing. There are still memes being made about Hali going crazy.
I like to bring up that TWolves had to (successfully) challenge an SGA foul where he just fell over while driving that the Thunder got to keep the ball because he had possession and it wasn’t a travel yet at the time of the call
Yep. People talking about them as the next dynasty, but they went to 7 games twice in their run, and needed Halis leg to fucking explode, just to eke out a win.
They’re the least impressive “impressive” team I’ve ever seen.
It’s been fake bro. No one was impressed. They literally slap players hands or grab their arm to get turnovers and the league acts like it’s good defense.
Fuck OKC man. If Indiana had Haliburton it would have been over
Tony Brothers is the real extender
Nah Tony Brothers is just that bad at his job
Nah that phantom backcourt violation on Castle after Castle got on his ass for not calling a lane violation on iHart sealed the deal for the Spurs tonight.
That lane violation was excessively egregious. Like why even have the rule at that point lol
I follow the league casually and I know Scott Foster and Tony Brothers, I can’t name a ref or umpire in any other sport I have the same engagement with.
Brother is Foster father
Never want to hear OKC fans cheer “refs you suck” ever again
It’ll be a positive chant:
Refs you suck! Keep it up!
Maybe it’s more like
Refs!? You, suck! [Pointing at each other]
They’re right though 🤷♂️
But wrong about why they’re right
The audacity that they chant it often.
“When you know nothing but privilege, fairness feels like persecution”.
Literally every time the other team goes to the line though
dirtiest team in the nba!
Nah Wemby elbowed that guy one time, clearly we are way dirtier.
my bad :prayer_hands:
Just ethical basketball.
He also got ejected for it.
Ref is literally looking right at it too. Check his bank transfers lately. Any payouts coming from Oklahoma?
No just Kalshi and other speculative trading platforms
Adam silver is the worst
No respect for this team whatsoever. Garbage all around
It isn’t even about who won the game. It’s just constantly dirty play after dirty play, with no regard for hurting other players or anything.
Exactly. Anthony Edwards is someone who doesn’t flop complain or isn’t dirty, He just balls out and plays the game. That’s what i would rather lose to.
Needs to be suspended
If the nba looks back at this game he might actually
hes been egregious tonight
They won’t do shit. Chet stomping Wemby’s foot didn’t get an ounce of attention this won’t either
easily a flagrant 2 if the refs had working eyes
Called it yesterday. Refs were going to favor OKC after calling a fair game in game 1. Can’t have the champs down 2-0…
Same shit happened last year too. They weren’t going to let OKC go down 3-1 to the Pacers so they sent Scott Foster to tie it up
Everyone talks about Game 7 as a what if, but game 4 was the better argument imo
Whats funny is they want to point to the turnovers while ignoring all the turnovers game 1 and Spurs still won. Literally the key difference between the two games was the officiating. Thats it.
Everyone needs to call out Adam silver.
Guy definitely has people looking for when he is trending. Call him out constantly
What happened to the game I love?
Sports betting.
What a disgusting team, with a disgusting whistle to match on both ends 🤮🤮
This team is hard to watch wtf
Scumbag team
Okshit bitch is gonna report this video as violence again. Fuck them
What is an “Okshit bitch”
Stop watching after first half. Obvious the refs were not gonna let Spurs win this one
The spurs number one priority is getting an enforcer this off season. Fuck it bring Ron artest back. The blatant fouling by okc won them the game.
If I was a okc fan I wouldn’t even want this win. Dirty play after dirty play after flop. Like cmon. This isn’t bbal
Spurs should send Olynyk out there
They are shameless and dgaf
They had an enforcer but they let Sochan go
OKC is a clown car full of unlikable talented bozos. The most unrelatable team I’ve seen in 20+ years. They play technicality ball for the edge while other teams just play ball.
Wonder why SGA isn’t the face of the league as the two time MVP? Cuz he’s an unrelatable goof trying to be a runway model on his time off.
Boi is ugly af too
Bros got the Jim halpert to the camera face every time he’s tryna foul bait it’s hilarious
He’s gotten away with so much dirty shit this game
I would love to see what OKC fans have to say about this
That’s his natural hair grabbing motion. /s
His fingers got caught in his braids
His hand was on its way down and his tangled hair just happened to be along the way
Lol it’s just a hustle play
Take your pick ^
His hair shouldn’t be that long, Hartensteins hand got caught on his hair, not his fault it’s a basketball play, pure hustle and grit.
-probably their fans now.
bball breakdown was saying this unironically in his post game stream minus the “it shouldn’t have been that long”
Instead of a flagrant, free throws and ball to cut the lead, OKC hits a 3 to extend the lead. This is how a game gets fixed.
Edit: Hartenstein would have also got ejected and all the rebounds and points he was getting in the 4th wouldn’t have existed, defense would have been worse and Spurs would have scored more. It’s crazy how different the game would have been.
Meanwhile in the Thunder sub they truly can’t understand why folks don’t like their team. Truly blind to reality, which makes sense for a bunch of degenerate republicans tbh
i used to say ship the whole team back to seattle and take all their stats w them, but we dont want that shit
Hang it in the Smithsonian.
They making people pay to see this shit
Meanwhile OKC is in the bonus… and the spurs have one foul called for them. I will never respect this era of OKC basketball - winning being dirty af and because the refs turn a blind eye
What in the WWE hell is happening right now
We all know that our team would never get away with this shit.
I don’t get how the refs love them so much
i am not usually a thunder hater but the shit hart did tn, especially this, had me infuriated. the spurs struggles with TOs and harp going down, but this type of shit is unbelievably demoralizing. ive never said this, but this just isnt ball. this isn’t just terrible for the product it’s shit for the game of hoop as a whole, to have the best team in the league have dudes who knowingly foul, and, while not on this hair pull play, act shocked when they get called for it. its not hoop.
OKC is a STOLEN franchise on STOLEN land
They’re definitely not in the other posts of this that have been put up and taken down either
Refs should be fined for terrible officiating, just like players get fined for bad sportsmanship
Literally seeing OKC dudes defend this
They bought, dump it
someone posterize him again
He curls his fingers the moment he makes contact with Castle’s hair. A violent non-basketball play, follow through, and could’ve injured him. That’s a fucking flagrant 2. Fuck OKC refs
FUCK OKC PLAY WRESTLING
Hartenstein is so dirty. They are literally holding wemby and there’s no call. This is not basketball, not a fan of either team
Was this before or after Isaiah was baptized
Mods gonna remove this post again?
Man if Pop was still coaching he’d rip these refs a new asshole
Shameless
Okc is the worse
Easy sweep for the spurs if OKC didn’t have the refs in their pockets.
This team is disgusting to watch. The flopping for every call while pulling the most obvious fouls. Anyone who supports this team is an immediate red flag.
Thunder fans this is why we hate your team. You have dirty Dort, grumpy baldy, Shai embellishing fouls like he got hit by a sniper and now you’ve got your useless center trying to injure people as well as that twig rip off trying to step on toes just to have an advantage because he’s getting owned so bad. And you only won by 9.
Mark Daigneault is the Sean Payton of the NBA.
I have never seen such a one sided game in terms of refereeing for one team
Spurs please smash these cunts out of the NBA play-offs,.
Not to be that guy, but that really just looks like Hart’s hand got caught in whatever is holding Castle’s hand up. Plenty of bad calls both ways, but to say this should be a flagrant is ridiculous
I swear, if OKC gets to the finals because of this bullshit, im officially done with the NBA
FLAGRANT
So funny you don’t see any Thunder flair in these posts, but in other ones they are gooning to eachother
The most unethical champ and MVP.
This is why I can’t watch the game as much anymore. At least try and make the calls consistent for all teams. If this is the league you want, call it the same way for GSW, the Kings, Philly - every team should have a chance to run the dreadlock pulldown fast break. I’m more and more worried the whole thing is rigged.
