i'm quite disgusted with the NBA refs tonight turning a blind eye to westbrook's actions.

Reggi Miller had a good point on Twitter... probably his first good point ever... in a scrum you don’t grab the other teams guys... you grab your own guys... grabbing the other guy is an act of aggression imo.

And that's what DM always does. He grabbed Quin when he got ejected. He grabbed Jae and others. Takes a special awareness to be in those places and do that.

Russell has his back to him. I don't get Crowder he seems really angry over some minor stuff. Maybe he should focus that anger on his shot. Dude has been awful and he just keeps shooting.

Yeah. When DM separated Jae off the court and then pounded his chest, Crowder didn't smile at all. Got to keep it in perspective. It is a game after all. Enjoy the process. The rest of the Jazz contributors are.

Except players protect their stars. I wouldn't be surprised if someone came at Mitchell that our players would grab their player.

Also, DM had his back to Jae.

The Adams foul... the third foul on RW was clearly on Abrines and then just the inconsistent techs...

I watched the replay a few times. Depends on what the ref called. To me, it looks like Westbrook got him with his lower body as he was going for the block.

I may hate OKC the most of any team now. What a bunch of entitled whiners. And their fans are the same.

If the Jazz are up big in the next game and he's on the court, I hope he gets absolutely mauled by a pick. Go send in Udoh to do it and take the game suspension, and then pass the hat around for his missed pay.

I’d throw in a little to pay that fine.

Different commissioner at the time... stern was a drop the hammer guy... silver is whatever is good for business type of guy.

Consistency is good for business. And OKC is not CLE/GSW/HOU so there is no reason to give them the kind of treatment that sullies the NBA's reputation.

I have not seen the video but rules are rules.

Carmelo should come in and separate or get in between but grabbing isn’t going to be taken as a sign of making the peace... Melo was trying to make peace but guys don’t love their own guys grabbing them... if the other team does it I just don’t see it being taken well unless they are bros... which they might be.

Let's hope the refs got some makeup calls in them. I honestly have never had much of a problem with that (except the fundamental one of missing calls that need to be made up in the first place).

I work in a sportsbook in Vegas and it just came across that Westbrook may get suspended for game 5. We took the line down for the time being. So theres definitely a possibility of it happening

I hope they do. Not because I’m worried about Westbrook, but because I’d like to see the NBA send a message that Stars aren’t above the rules. Act like a jackass and you get the same consequences - might keep other teams (Houston, GSW, Philly) from behaving the same if they know they might lose CP3, Harden, KD, Green, Simmons or Embiid for a pivotal game. Thunder are done. I could see this being Silver sending a message to tone it down.
