Nice job Chauncey. Way to keep the lottery balls bouncing.

 

[cdub503]

Ref ran into chauncey lmao

 

[blazerfan11]

benching scoot here is beyond stupid. if anything, let him learn and foul out.

It would have been a great learning opportunity.

Billups goes for the meaningless win then torpedoes that too.

 

[Cugel]

Glad he made a stand and got ejected

 

[illmatic99]

this is 100% rigged man.

 

[B-Roy]

Holy fuck these fucking refs

 

[illmatic99]

cheap pieces of shit. they don't deserve this.

 

[maxiep]

We have found interesting ways to throw games, but this is a new one.

 

[Whyachi]

JayWill sticks one. Blazers have 2 seconds to make amends

 

[illmatic99]

Nice job Chauncey. Way to keep the lottery balls bouncing.

that younger white ref has money on this game.

 

[Tince]

Pretty sure the OKC coach touched the ref trying to get him to make the double dribble call. Going to have to try and find that replay.

 

[beast blazer]

Could they not challenge that call?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Wjy did they call a second T on Billups?

 

[Chris Craig]

Stolen by the refs

 

[Chris Craig]

Wjy did they call a second T on Billups?

Cause he argued the 1st

 

[Tince]

Elite tanking by Billups!

 

[Tince]

Could they not challenge that call?

Don't believe so.

 

[illmatic99]

absolute gift from the officials. wow

 

[HailBlazers]

Pretty sure the OKC coach touched the ref trying to get him to make the double dribble call. Going to have to try and find that replay.

Did Chauncey call a TO? They wouldn't show the replay angle on the Thunder broadcast.

 

[Chris Craig]

Billups still winless against the Thunder

 

[Chris Craig]

Pretty sure the OKC coach touched the ref trying to get him to make the double dribble call. Going to have to try and find that replay.

And they called it on Chauncey?

 

[Tince]

Fire Scott Brooks... awful inbounds play!

 

[beast blazer]

They try a lob to Ayton? Why go to that worthless bum for the game winner. Let Simons launch it.

 

[Whyachi]

Ref ran into chauncey lmao

I like my dropping the People's Elbow description better.

 

[PCmor7]

The official that T'd Chauncey needs suspended.

This is the kind of stuff that makes people think a sport is fixed. Chauncey's calling time. Brogdon's calling time. You don't give either timeout and then you call the turnover and give two Ts and eject the coach in a 1-point game in the last 20 seconds?

That's absolute robbery.

 

[Cugel]

POR made OKC look bad and they know it. Fuck em

 

[Tince]

And they called it on Chauncey?

By the rule book, Billups deserved a tech too.

 

[TYDame]

Great Job Chauncey. Way to tank the game

 

[KingSpeed]

Best case scenario. We play well enough to win but increase our lotto chances.

 

[riverman]

Horrible calls lost this game at the end on the refs and the last play by Brooks. Home cookin' ...great effort by the good guys anyway!
