Game 6: Close it out -- Thunder @ Jazz 4/27/2018 8:30 pm MST

? Just because a defender jumps in the air doesn't mean a player has to launch into him. PG already tried that garbage and got a call minutes earlier.

I would be pissed as an OKC fan, but I also understand that the refs let them play.

Awesome
 
Great effort from Rudy, Faves, Jingles and of course Donovan. Also nice to see AB and Royce getting in on the action.

It wasn't a foul, ref had a great angle on it.

I dont think it should have been a foul either, but staying consistent with how the NBA calls things its 100% a foul.

I think its stupid that you draw fouls like that, hut it was pretty standard. If that was Harden they would have called it

On a lot of those offensive rebounds our guys were flat-footed. I'm not saying they weren't trying to win, but 5 offensive rebounds in 1 minute is unacceptable. Someone has to grab a board there.

Flat footed because OKC players were holding onto their shoulders for leverage.

I don’t blame Russell for what he did after the game. Fans shouldn’t stick their phones in the faces of super emotionally charged athletes seconds after an incredible game.

We have really good fans, but we also have the type of fans that give us a really bad name. Every fan base has em but our lack of diversity on top of it makes us really easy targets.

If Jazz lose tonight playing basically 7 players and cant score enough points it will have been predicted many times this season.Jazz play great defense but the better the teams the more you need some scoring. Even average scoring teams have a chance if Jazz struggle to score.

Ya it’s a foul by nba standards but it’s something that needs to change. Offensive player should never be able to pump fake and then jump into the defender who is trying to avoid contact and get rewarded for that ****. The pump fake was invented so you get the defender in the air and then you get an easier shot..... no hope for a call.

And again, in today’s nba that should have been called a foul but in the game of basketball and the way it’s meant to be played that’s not a foul. No way that **** gets called in any pick up game I have ever played in.

I agree. I don’t get how an offensive player can cause contact and be a foul on the defense. It’s stupid

I do. Show some sportsmanship and leave the court. The fan didn't touch him. Westbrook took a swing at him and should receive a suspension next season for it. The players should not be allowed aggressive acts towards the fan. The fan did not assault Westbrick.

Im not really mad at Russ for the fan altercation. I cant stand fans who think the players are like zoo animals something and can say and do whatever you want to them. You wanna test them you should be fair game to get your butt kicked.

You want another Malice in the Palace? I mean, it's exciting and all, but not sure that's where a professional league should be heading. Westbrook needs to walk his *** off the court and forget about the opposing team's fans. He's almost 30 for christ's sakes.

Not according to the rule somebody posted. By the letter of the rule it wasn't a foul.
