    Source MSN Sports: "George appeared to elbow Nurkic, who was knocked to the floor as Terrance Ferguson made a layup that put the Thunder up 113-111. Portland players protested, but no call was made."-It's called blind refereeing .

    Again i watched a game that was very entertaining. A series between these teams would be a blast to watch. Very sure there would be multiple ejections before the series was done.
    Same thing with the Warriors. Problem with the Warriors is an ejection doesn't hurt them enough and Green always seems to get the benefit of the doubt. If the Thunder lose either PG or Westbrook they would look like the Blazers without Nurk.

    If Nurk had of elbowed PG13 in the head in that same manner he wouldve been tossed. If he wouldve ran from behind and side checked westbrook, he wouldve been tossed.

    I get it Dame is probably allowed more leniancy because he’s a star as well.

    Just complete nonsense being allowed in that game. I know someones going to say Im blaming the loss on the refs I’m not.

    I just go back to it in almost all close games win or lose its shameful how inconsistent and downright BAD the nba refs are at times.

    Though yeah Westbrook shouldve been tossed from that game, its a dangerous play to purposefully blind side a guy in mid jog...

    Tell you what, I am damn depressed today. Dame pretty much gave a superhuman effort and where was help? Kanter: missing around the rim
    Aminu: shooting a three with 135 to go
    Curry: MIA
    Moe: we got the old Moe today
    Hood: average
    Cj: black hole

    I honestly feel like that was the game of the year for them...
    Between that and losing to Memphis. They probably lost out on any chance of HCA.
    It was funny to me that Kenny Smith and Barkley were talking about them going to the Finals because the shots are so much easier for Dame and CJ, it looked like the same team out there to me. Dame and CJ having to work really hard just to get a shot up.

    It's a heartbreaker. I'd like to say its all the refs. It's not. The Blazers didn't make their free throws. They turned the ball over. Most of the players didn't show up. They allowed the Thunder to get into their heads. In these intense playoff like games against the best teams they don't play with a winners mentality. They allow themselves to be victims of circumstance. They have to be better than this. I hope this puts the chip back on their shoulders. I hope it's an eye opener.

    No, I think a series against them would break my heart. Sly asked why we weren't enjoying the game; for me it's because they are either a better team or tougher team and I didn't expect a good ending.
