More Home Cooking - Thunder at Wolves Game 4 GDT

[Coolbreeze44]

I haven’t seen the ref assignment for tonight, but we’re not likely to get The Extender since he worked last night.

But for the conspiracy guys out there, the last thing the NBA wants is a Thunder/Pacers finals, two of the smallest markets in the league. If you think the league puts pressure on the refs, SGA will get away with little tonight.

Zarba, Williams, Kennedy, Petraitis

Just saw that, Cool. I don't really have much of an opinion on any of these these guys.

From what I can tell, the Zarba crew has a pretty loose whistle, so I expect this game to be officiated like playoff basketball as opposed to a free throw parade.

Zarba owes us after screwing us over in Game 2 of the Conference Finals last year with the Kyrie no call on Jaden. That series is quite different if the Wolves head to Dallas at 1-1 rather than 0-2.

And talk about Karma -- look where Kyrie is for these playoffs...

That's right! Let's hope that guilty voice in his subconscious gives us a more generous whistle!

We've certainly been in the middle of a lot of drama these last couple post-seasons:

- The incident you are referring to led to a change in the review process, which is pretty significant.
- We got a coach fired in Phoenix and they have only gotten worse since then.
- We took out the defending champs in an epic semi-final series last season and provided the Thunder a template on how to guard them.
- We threw a spanner in the LeBron/Luka/Redick lovefest that the NBA media elites were slobbering and wish-casting to a title, only to be humiliated in 5 games.
- We made "playoff" Jimmy Butler look pathetic and finally earned some respect from Draymond.
- And finally, I think we may see some tweaks to officiating that will impact what kind of whistle SGA gets next season and beyond after the first part of this series which led to an outpouring of complaints by a LOT of influential voices.

Terrific pregame interview with Julius. He's a genuine guy, and I admired his honesty about being pissed about being benched in game 4. He also looks loose...unlike some of the Thunder, the moment will be too big for him. Will he be successful? We'll have to see.

Wresting match tonight

Nice pass from Ant on the fast break and great finish from Jaden.

Wish I trusted Ju more than I do

OKC definitely bringing their A-game so far.
