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

If everything happened just the same except it was Gobert instead of Westbrook who left the bench, you can bet your *** that he would have been suspended. Every damn time. That being the case, suspend Westbrook. I desire to move on in the playoffs, not prove some point of competitive sportsmanship. Quite frankly there is a non-trival chance that Westbrook's antics get one of our players hurt or suspended for retaliating against him. He can sit the Hell down.

I kind of want him there to see this... and I want Ricky to just scream at him "you made me do this... this is because of you"
 
Russ said he heard the horns and came in because of that... there were no horns upon review of the video... Adams also stayed on the bench. I think it is fairly clear he came off the bench, but it is in the middle and likely can be explained away.

I'll be curious to hear the explanation.
 
I hope he is suspended and OKC wins, then they lose game 6 when he comes back.

Not really, I want the Jazz to win it in game 5, but would love to see backlash in the above scenario.
 
You know who was supremely impressive last night? Ricky... can't believe how smart he was last night and paid zero attention to his BS. He got under RW's skin in a totally different way than Jae and Ingles.

Just wanted to say how classy that guy was and how much smarter he was than RW. Used his aggression against him.
 
If the heard the horn is Westbrooks story then I think he gets suspended. I mean we have video and there was no horn. He would have been better off saying I though someone signaled me in... tougher to verify given the camera angles shown... maybe they have more angles.

We should tell the league that we concede and they can let the player play without protest... but we get a favor down the line... Quin will let them know when we want it.
 
Don't really care about competitive spirit etc, it's a rule that's been enforced before and shouldn't be selectively enforced because muh star power.

I think the fact that he came on the court to basically start **** with Gobert, which led to a Gobert technical, should reinforce the argument for suspension. Next game could be explosive if his antics aren't discouraged.

Not sure if you could see this on TV or not, but Ingles had been dogging PG for several possessions, and during dead balls, before the technical. Yes, PG should've yielded the ball, should've perhaps been a delay of game warning. But Ingles earned that particular T, I think, and then used it to rile up the crowd.

But yeah, some questionable officiating. Even Tony Jones, who rarely comments on officiating, said something terrible was going on.

Not sure why people are thinking Ingles deserved a T for trash talking and getting PG's dish. If trash talking was deserving of T's Michael Jordan would have lead the league in T's every year.

Anyone else think that the whole team and coaching staff had alot of the early stuff planned?
 
I'd prefer Westbrook to play from a basketball perspective because we win game 5 easy in that scenario. You don't want someone like Abrines going for 30. But this would be the straw that breaks the camel's back on reinforcing that precedent of celebrity favortism, sending the message to all referees that when a superstar is in foul trouble, you can swallow the whistle, when they've got one T, give them more slack, etc. I despise that more than I want a slight advantage of taking game 5 by having Westbrook on the floor.

Suspend him.
 
Westbrook didn't even get a tech for just running up on Rudy and swiping at his arm when he was holding his manhood. Contrast that with Ingles tech... yes he was being annoying... Westbrook did the same thing on several plays after scores... PG shoves Ingles when they are inbounding. PG swipes at the guys hands all nigh off ball.. Felton did the same.

Had they not whistled Ingles for the tech I think I'd say fine... just let them go... but @infection is right... their BS didn't get whistled... ours did. How the hell did westbrook not foul out or get one tech last night is beyond me.
 
He turned into a little bitch. Just like Chris Paul did last year vs us. These prima donnas just can't handle losing to "non superstar" opponents.
