Adam Smith+FollowDid Chris Finch break the Thunder’s whistle?Before Chris Finch’s ejection on December 12, the Thunder were 25–2. Since then? They are 5–5, and their record is 30-7 now. Finch has been one of the more vocal critics of how OKC’s physical, swarm-heavy defense gets officiated, so his blow-up at the refs wasn’t exactly out of nowhere. At the time, OKC looked unstoppable. People were seriously talking about win-record territory. However since that moment, the Thunder have looked far more mortal. What do you think is going on here? #NBA #OKCThunder #NBADiscussion #Officiating #BasketballDebate 00Share
James Allen+FollowDillon Brooks: “OKC plays the most physical ball… and gets the fewest whistles”After the 138–89 beatdown, Brooks called out the officiating vs. OKC, saying around the league the Thunder are seen as the most physical team while getting fewer fouls called — citing the Grayson Allen Flagrant 2 and adding he “hopes they change that up.” Spicy take after a historic blowout. Fair critique or just postgame heat? #NBA #Thunder #Suns #DillonBrooks #Officiating #PhysicalPlay #GraysonAllen #NBATalk30Share
