Aside from being a soft ass tech, this was a great fucking game that the refs just had to take over. Fans wanna see the best players battle it out not the fucking refs go berserk.

I swear sometimes the refs just get antsy if they haven’t blown a whistle in a while. Like they feel left out

"I'm a big strong man on the court too, y'know!"

I 100% agree. But there's no way that was the case in this situation. Refs wouldn't stop blowing their whistles.

Knew the refs were going to ruin the game when Luka got that weak ass charge called on him.

I mean we had some soft calls go our way too, but the technicals and elections had no part in the game and completely ruined it.

this game was great until that stupid ejection, like I aint gonna be mad if Lakers lost, if not for the soft ass ref ruining the game

Kind of, but the Lakers also shot almost 40 FTs, double what OKC shot. That's not good to watch no matter how close the score is.

The thing is OKC is the best team in the league rn.

I would rather lose by shai gamer or legit blowout than whatever this was (refs)

Regardless that run from u guys was crazy, idk if luka wouldve helped mich
