The refs were HORRIBLE in this game, both ways. But I agree the Thunder's collection of bowling ball types get away with a lot of initiated contact and get the calls? That's a crazy new way to play basketball.
SGA was brilliant as predicted. For those asking why Frank over Hardy, it was clearly a move to defense as Frank played pretty well. He can't hit a damn shot, but his defense was needed last night with Green out.
Maxi being able to play was a big key as he didn't look hobbled one bit.
Someone pointed out, but Wood looked much more open to setting good picks and even got a bullshit call against him on one where he stood his ground and took the contact versus peeling out and kicking or rolling early. Again, refs bad.
Good all-around game with plenty of room for improvement, still. Great to see Bullock and DFS making some shots. Absolutely need those two to step up as it seems Green will be out a few more games.
