Edgar Allan Poe’s Law

That was a goaltend, and instead it’s a weak foul on Kornet. Then they miss a clear ball out on OKC, deny a challenge, T up Mitch Johnson. That OKC home cooking is different.

They are definitely not “letting them play” tonight.

@SwipaCam I want to follow up here: I love Keldon and what he means to the team. He took a leap forward this year and was rewarded for it. It’s not be fun to see him regress in the playoffs, and I hope he can course correct.

@SwipaCam KJ has been so bad: bad decisions with the ball, bad shooting, bad defense. Driving into the paint and then losing the ball or getting blocked is not a great plan. Champagnie suddenly can’t shoot but at least his defense has been serviceable.

The two worst players in this series both play for the Spurs and both have to play.

@chompingpikachu @OklahomaMuse I saw a few people claiming this was a dirty play by Barnes - that he aimed his shoulder at Dort’s knees trying to injure him. Can’t make this stuff up 😂

@OklahomaMuse okc complaining about refs lmao

Spurs the weakest fanbase in the league. They lose back to back games against a wounded Thunder team and it’s crickets. They get the whistle to go their way and OKC shoots 15% from 3… and now they the loudest ever 🤣 WEAK. Thunder in 6

@ThunderHusky17 When did they hurt someone? If you mean Holmgren, he cut himself on the backboard.

So the Spurs hurt the Thunder players, the refs ignore everything, they foul out the rest of the team, and people are going to find some single SGA clip to circulate aren’t they?

@405pokefan Agreed. That’s why SA fans were so frustrated in game 2 where it wasn’t called the same. Hartenstein could have fouled out in Q1 if it was. This is just the inverse. I’ve said from the beginning this is likely to go 7.

@cedward84 Physical is fine as long as its called the same on both ends

The Spurs are assaulting SGA. He has been fouled 300 times in the first half and has got 1 call. What they are allowing the spurs to do is disgusting

SA got the message that OKC was teaching: beat them up until the refs call it. Nothing SGA is facing is more than what Wemby faced, especially in game 2. Interested to see the interviews after, if they whine about calls or give credit like the Spurs did.

@TravisSkol He turned so he didn’t take a knee to the face.

You tell me

Chet misses ball completely and hits Harper’s arm and immediately complains.

If SGA is gonna get those foul calls then I say put in bench guys and tell them to make it count.

That was the weakest foul on Fox lol

@ImAureus He’s actually a good midrange shooter. They gotta learn how to get it to him at the elbow and let him operate from there more.

When wemby develops a midrange game hes gonna average 35 ppg and like 1 TOV hes legit dookie in the LMR area

Clearly seeing that Wemby is far more valuable to his team than any other player in the league. With Harper and Kornet clearly hobbled, the bench is unplayable.

Harper is clearly not 100%.

@Rylan_Stiles If SGA got pushed there like Castle the bench would clear.

I mean that’s the ethical way to do it.

I don’t wanna hear about SGA having a bad whistle. He has turned multiple push offs into FT.

@WorldWideWob I think his foot is really bothering him. He’s not mobile normally and has looked even slower this series.

These Luke Kornet for Wemby minutes may decide this series. Game 1: 9 minutes, -9 Game 2: 10 minutes, -10 Game 3: 6 minutes, -18 (!)

Would love to see those full arm extension push offs from SGA called occasionally.
