The refs were really bad on both ends. Lots of blown calls and non-calls, especially with what they were considering continuation.

The worst call was Goberts 5th foul where Westbrook drove the lane for a layup and Gobert got blatantly pushed from behind right into Westbrook as he was about to rise up for a layup. How the ref missed the push I will never know.

Except Kanter wasn't smiling at all and looked tense.
But I was surprised by how he and Favors greeted each other after the game.

The first time they were near each other in the game they were both smiling and Kanter had an arm over Gobert.

Looked like it was friendly smack. Nothing serious. Rudy was smiling.

That's the way we (OKC viewers) saw it.

Salt Lake City has been our NBA mentor model. The original Delta Center (Vivint Smart Home Arena) was the model used with the original Ford Center, now labeled the OKC Chesapeake Energy Arena. Our TV announcers branded it the most intimidating arena in the NBA; described where the fans are literally ON TOP OF YOU.

I know that Enes isn't welcome in Salt Lake City anymore than Durant will be welcome in Oklahoma City. Durant's foundation does continue to support the various shelters in OKC (Salvation Army, Jesus House, City Rescue Mission), although he now resides in the Bay area.


The 'Boo' bug brigade (dislike for Kanter/Durant) will show up in each city--maybe it's a City thing. :confused:

We (OKC fans) thought it was awesome how the Jazz fans booed every time the ball touched Kanter's hands. We were able to track when Kanter had the ball in traffic through FoxOklahoma telecast.

Putting the game aside; 'Enes the Menace' has done a lot for the OKC community; he's the one Thunder player besides Westbrook that personally gets involved during the holidays & throughout the year.

Inter team and player/city rivalries add atmosphere and entertainment to the games and rivalries. I love it. As long as things don't get to out of control.

There were a lot of bad calls/non-calls on both ends. The refs just sucked last night. Rudy had a basket taken away that was a clear and one. It is one thing to miss a call, but when you see the foul and don't give the hoop on a clear continuation, I have to wonder what the **** is going on.

I feel like the refs like to keep the games competitive, as I notice a lot of calls go for teams that get down on points.

Yeah it was just the worst. The Exum technical and Gobert continuation were just stupid.

Those guys were just bad though... looked like a young crew.

The Ingles Westbrook out of bounds was also puzzling. That one went in our favor.

I really worry about tomorrows game. Kanter is going to be so upset about losing, he is such a fiery competitor.

I really hate to say this but Kanter schooled DFave an all are bigs on offense. Hard. 19 points in 18 minutes on 11 shots.

Oh wait never mind it was all empty stats an he got the L again. Thank you Steven Adams for having zero offense. We love when you are subbed out for Kanter.
