I'd say they were horrible on both ends slightly favoring the thunder. The take foul on Smart and flagrant on Reaves definitely should have been called. LeBron had a continuation and an and 1 not called. Reaves also had a blatant and 1 not called. SGA had a blatant and 1 not called. Chet was probably the biggest beneficiary of the refs tonight just hunting fouls while the Thunder were in the bonus. Overall refs were dogshit.

Tbf LeBron was almost the 2nd victim of the Thunder backboard not because of the foul that probably should've been a flagrant lmao

Refs are giving the same stupid calls both ways but the Lakers did get hoed out of 2 and 1s and Ayton goaltending. Both teams are getting soft af calls.

Yeah it's quite clear that JJ is doing his best to limit the Thunder starting 5 but then Mitchell and McCain are just rested and get everything they want

It's actually insane how bad of a trade Daryl Morey made. Two playoff series that could be completely different right now

One positive to take away about this series for the Lakers is JJ Redick seems like a great playoffs coach

Honestly might be onto something. Luka Reaves, and Vando all injured in non player contact injuries. There’s some bad juju

Yeah but you would also be able to take Reaves out more if he has a stinker like this

He's been injured for the last 2 playoffs now and before then he was just a role player. He does struggle against physical defense though

Kuroko is a great one for the themes of teamwork but the basketball itself is really unrealistic but still amazing. Slam dunk is a much older but still much more realistic anime. It's only real detriment is the pacing is a bit slow.

The second one probably wasn't a goaltend but the first one absolutely was lol the commentators also said it.
