I bet jazz fans were deadass having a heart attack during this
yep
Dam right we were lol it was a tough series for sure. OKC needs a new coach or somethin they have no consistency. Im a jazz fan but I feel bad for westbrook and adams they have so much talent but westbrook kinda just stands there if he does not have the ball melo sucks now apparently and paul has been streaky most of the year and has this look when they lose like yup im leaving and it just has been a bad situation. They would of been fine if they could of built a team of role players around adams and westbrook. The jazz won this series because of role players like Royce and Alec and favors.
I can confirm that, I’m surprised I didn’t have one
Ben no one can play a role when one guy takes 40 shots... but they do need a coach and Westbrook need counseling
The thunder have no bench if they had a bench we wouldnt even be talking about the fucking jazz
OKC we’re building my dream house with all those bricks
😂🤣🤣🤣 good one
PG = 5 points
Melo = 7 points
And for some reason Westbrook gets all of the blame
Ice Cream Truck Westbrook and Adams were the only ones who showed up. Everyone else played terrible 😤
L but he had to take those shots. Paul George played like trash and every time he got the ball he just passed it back to Westbrook so ofc Westbrook was gonna take the shot
How the fuck they gonna play good all game when Westbrick is chucking most of the time! NIGGA SHOT 43 ATTEMPTS
Westbrook took 43 shots. The rest of the team can't get into a rhythm when one player is taking all the shots
REALEST COMMENT IVE READ EVER
Even though these refs have been garbage all series the thunder have been disappointing all season
Christian L by all series you mean all season god damn they have been terrible
It was there first season together dam. Calm down man think about they literally have no bench at all tf. PG, Russ and melo have to try to score everything cause the bench players are trash they just need to go get some free agents
Nino Brown you cant even say that thunders had alot of hype for this season all they did has been underachieving there was points in which they almost missed a playoffs
Refs were garbage toward the Jazz, idk what series you watched.
Christian L good ass comment
Melo and PG both combined for 12 pts in 60+ mins ..... "Let that sink in"
Ok so kd wasnt wrong for leaving okc 😂😂😂
GML_45 Russ took half of the shots.
Thats what im saying lmao kd knew wtf type ball hog westbrook was lmao
Johnson Johnson They weren't taking shots. Not his fault
5-23 too. Tell it all
GML_45 It was ok for KD leaving OKC, just not to the ‘73 wins’ GSW who defeated them in the WCF.
Don’t worry, Paul! I’m sure you’ll get those calls in LA.
Douglas Patterson he will also go 2/16 with lonzo
Douglas Patterson lakers fans want everyone
PG bout to go to Golden State and come off the bench lmao
I think LeBron and Paul would be a good fit since LeBron can run the floor and George just about anything offensively and great defensively
Go 2 for 16 you can have him
If I was an okc fan, I'd be bawling my eyes out
I hate OKC. Picked Jazz. George was fouled. And lol @ Westbrook acting a fool twice with the crowd. Respect to George for immediately congratulating Mitchell.
mitchell was also fouled (over the back) at the 25 second mark (watch this video and see for yourself). when the refs reviewed the video to see who touched the ball last before it went out of bounds they would of clearly seen this. maybe they couldn't call a foul then but they should of given the ball back to utah since they missed the call as when they watched the replay they would of clearly seen the foul.
andrew payette nah bitch disrespectful fucking assholes that wasn’t Westbrook that was the fan
andrew payette Ya I gotta give some love for Paul he plays hard and I think he knew early on this was not gonna work.
Paul George should have put a bag over his head and left to the locker room
So, you are asking the ref to help OKC to tie the game, because they couldn't do it by themselves.
After this terrible show of Thudder offense, I'd be surprised if they keep the coach. They literally had 40 seconds left and Paul George and Westbrook took isolation jumpers instead of rotating the ball to create confusion and a better shot.
If the Lakers pick up Paul George, it's a mistake.
Big Meech! How? They'll only get better.
Paul George is walking in Carmelos footsteps. I won't allow y'all to false praise - Self Proclaimed "Playoff P" The way y'all gave Melo hype after he left the Knicks.
Big Meech! Pg13 is just that pg13.. he side boob and thats it.. 😆
Westbrook doesn't listen to coaching. He doesn't even follow plays. The offense looks more fluid when bench units are out there. Check out Donovan's Florida offense, it's a lot nicer than this is. The Thunder offense has always been trash, and the only constant on the team has been Westbrook.
rpaulkb24/8 atwal Not if PG hinders Ingrams growth, Ingram has potential to be better than PG ever will in LA
Am not even a Thunder Fan but that was a foul.But
1.How you miss 6 times before 😂😂😂
2.Pg could have missed 1 FT
Kyrie Uncle Irving Channel got blocked. He jumped into him
foul? OK. add to that the OKC foul (OVER THE BACK) on mitchell (when he was going for a rebound) at the 25 second mark.
@@boostler That's what for example James Harden does 5 times every game
Actually two minute report says otherwise. A different angle shows PG jump into Gobert.
Technically, it is a foul, but practically, it's not. PG leaned into the defender, and I hate that nonsense.
That Jazz fan got so scared 😂
I don't give af if Russ took 100 shots he still looked like the only one who was fighting to win the game melo and pg didn't do shit
he shot 43 times, and when he had the ball and shot and it was in and out (for the tie) he could have passed to a wide pg13 to cash it in and tie it but no
Coffeepen you clearly didn’t watch the game. Everyone was giving him the ball.. no one wanted to shoot including pg... watch the dam game. Russ was the only one playing his heart out.
No set plays for anyone especially melo, they couldve threw it in the post to melo a whole lot more then they did
Coffeepen bra PG and Melo had 12 pts combined what the hell he suppose to do
Javier Pina While I do agree Russ REALLY wanted to win this game you still don't take 43 shots expecting to win it. Hell Melo only got to take 7 shots. And he went 3-7 which was ok. It's the PG's job to get his teammates in rythem. A few examples of guards who do that are Curry, CP3, and Kyrie. Curry when he comes down the court always passes the ball and runs off ball. Kyrie at times won't even take the ball up court and let Rozier or Smart run the offense. CP3 well I don't even have to explain for him. Even if your teammates keep passing the ball you still don't take 43 damn shots. That's something I would expect from a SG. Now I see why KD left. Westbrook just isn't a real PG
Westbrick never fails to disappoint in crunch time.
akumasdeception 46 points!!!
Yeah but so do the Maple Leafs. And yet........😂😝
Says Toronto fan
Kevin Grace, you are completely clueless, he needed 43 shots to have 46 points, he also took 19 threes (?!?!??!?), and had 5 turnovers and shot only 50% from the free throw line. Oh and also CHOKED, missed 4 shots in the last 50 seconds. CHOKE ARTIST.
Filip Milić If you remember one Westbrook isn’t that great of a 3pt shooter two his feet and hands weren’t really set three the refs never call fouls only techs or ejects..
all I heard was dink dink dink.... the whole video lol
Hiren Patel you heard dink dink dink while i visually seen a house being built.
Terrible coaching
At least Paul George took the ball to the rim after the first timeout instead of forcing a 3.
Is it? Notice how he called timeout after the 3rd jacked up 3 clearly upset with his players? Westbrook is uncoachable
emmanuel dukes Officiating*
Gators95 he should have called a timeout earlier what if adams never got all of those rebounds
They had a minute on the clock jacked up there 3’s
Okc had like 11 chances still so take the L
Bruh how did OKC not get past the 1st round this year
Westbrook scored 46 points, but took 43 shots to get there. That is insane. If he had made a few more of his baskets he would have had a lot more.
Nah r you being Fr rn 😮
Espn low key clowning the thunder because they got schooled by a school teacher and a rookie. 3 Hofers, 2 in there primes really just got bodied ctfu that's yall MV-Me and playoff p in the bed. Someone give melo a wheelchair
I agree with you but paul george hall of famer? that's a bigger joke than the thunder in the playoffs
Water Pistol Pete Jr that's gotta be Westbricks most embarrassing NBA moment right here 😂😂
PG isn't a hall of famer yet.
I see you're a fucking DR. Talking bout melo in his prime. You know you going to hell for that comment right?
Jazz fans finally got some to be happy about
Still missed all kinds of shots before that lmao. Doesnt matter. Looks like Mitchell was right when he told that okc fan "yeah we'll see you next year" and just give Mitchell the damn roty reward
Getting you Triggered haha then a rocket player will say that to a jazz fan
+Kill myVibe Jestiet then sadly a warriors fan to a rocket
Placeholdername then....well warriors will have the last laugh. Honestly, Rockets have no choice they win the nba title they got the team, the coach, the mvp, reliable 2nd player, and they match warriors style closer than anybody.
Thunder choked
Paul George choked. Don’t disrespect Westbrook like that, he fought till the end.
Jeff F you sound stupid
No they didn’t. They were beat by a better team. They could have played this series again and same result.
No, the Jazz were a better team all series.
Take Flight 23 Westbrook has so many open looks. He doesn’t have the clutch gene
0:48 How is that not a 3 free throws? 🤔
lol look at the Jazz coach. Even he knew it was but lucky they dint blew the whistle
I was at the game, and it was the most nerve-racking 60 seconds of a NBA game in my life
Love the commentary here, credits to them. Congrats Utah!
To everyone who said westbrook choked he scored 46 and shot 43% thats why he took so much shots. PG shot 2/16 in 40+ minutes. Thats why OKC lost.
When you put the CPU sliders all the way down in the 4th
The main reason why was they weren't shooting a high percentage shots, not moving ball as much as they should , and last was TO MUCH ISO
That was an amazing amount of rebounds by OKC 😂
Let me guess???
I didn't watch the game.
Russell scored all the points and didn't get his mates involved. Russell is out in the first round once again.
Praying Mantis u forgot the part where he would camp under paint to steal rebounds from his teammates
Matt Haag u also forget no one wanted to shoot the ball and terrible shooting last night and kept giving the green light to Westbrook
russ needed an effin breather.
I hate when players try to jump into the defender and get a foul on a 3.. should have just shot the ball ..good no call ref..
then get used to it cause Harden gonna do that to Jazz on every shot lol
Awesome how everyone is fighting for their life's,happy to witness that
to this day this was still a foul
Westbrook choked lmao he’s nothing without KD, and that fan was just filming him there was no reason Russ should’ve acted that way.
3 years old but f*** fans
Only the NBA and NFL have fan inteference and people side with the fans
Hockey has fights and things and it stays on the ice, players walk off and that's that
BUT in the NBA the plauers are expected to put up with BS, not get excited (because kids are watching and they need to be role models) and then deal with fans/media instigating
Jazz nation we out here Salt Lake City Utah 801 stand up
Ph.40 Lowks Respect from a Nuggets fan. #frienemies
*Inbred nation stand up
xystumpy L
Sit yo ass down boy you getting as far as last year which is round 2 which is nowhere
Ph.40 Lowks I’m 801 🔥
That last possession was basically the Thunder's entire season. No passing the ball, no system or set play in place, only letting the superstars take shots, and insisting on a 3 pointer when you can't hit one all game and don't even need one
Paul George turned into Paul Garbage.
ASMRGhost or george paul in skips bayless words 😂
I wouldn't place all the blame on george. OKC has no offensive sets. they just let westbrook dribble around and do whatever he wants. it may work well for him but under utilized players like george and anothony.
😂😂😂😂
And Seattle is laughing at Clay Bennett and the Oklahoma City Thunder...again.
It's been ten years. GET OVER IT!!! Signed, someone who grew up in Shit-attle (or, more accurately, was forced to spend most of his childhood in America's most overrated city). Fuck you and fuck everyone in your rain-soaked shit hole!
Don Penhold Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm not a Seattle Supersonics fan. I'm actually a Los Angeles Lakers fan.
Oh BTW, at least that so-called rainy city that is Seattle has major pro sports titles while CHOKC has yet to grab one.
Hahahahahahahaha
I always thought KD was the reason for them losing, now we know the truth.
Steven_Blaque Harden and KD couldn't take him and his antics anymore.
Fisco 156 Reegie Jackson too
Yeah, never thought I would ever see a player more selfish than Melo or Iverson and then there was Westbrook. Funny thing is, Westbrook is AI's favorite player, Melo played with both of them and never got past the 1st round with either. History just repeating itself that's all.
Gtfo when Westbrook went down back In 2013 in the second round of the playoffs grizzlies swept them so I don’t want to hear bs like this n Kd only got his ring because he went to a 73-9 team
TRUTH: MELO and PG are garbage
Alternative title OKC builds a house out of bricks
Crazy how they had good shots that just didn’t fall
Jazz not getting past the Rockets OKC took too much out of them they not ready for the way Houston plays basketball Rockets vs Pacers in the finals
Triple Black facts, Rockets don’t play and Capella will monster Gobert
This was just sad
3 yrs later I come back and rage 1:20 explaining how we got super lucky
You should add Benny hill soundtrack to this fits perfectly 🤣
Lets go jazz, Take Note !
Watch the replay. Mitchell was fouled on the loose ball. Refs watched it, couldn’t call the foul after and gave possession to OKC. They no-called the Gobert foul on PG to make up for it. Reality is, it shouldn’t have even been OKC ball in the first place.
How? Just How?
That 3 Westbrook chucked up with 44 seconds left sums up Westbrooks decision making in the 4th quarter. Just like the commentator said take your time
Westbrook shot 43 times to get 46 points think if Anthony Davis shot 43 times he could have 70 points probrslly
Thunder fans all crying about the refs. What about the other games? Like when Steven Adams blatantly fouled Westbrook and it got called on O-Neale? Or Gobert's 4th foul in Game 5 (that didn't happen) that put him out of the game and let the Thunder come back? Seriously OKC is just a bad team. PG13 is headed to LA Lakers and OKC is losing ANOTHER all star because Westbrook is not a team player. Should have gotten rid of Westbrook years ago and kept KD, Harden and Oladipo. Instead OKC is leaking all-stars like a sinking boat. RIP salty OKC fans. #spidadmitchell #takenote #ROTY
Andrea Owen the last 3 games Westbrook was horrific even tho he did clutch game 5 but still put up some bad numbers.
"What about the other games? Like when Steven Adams blatantly fouled Westbrook and it got called on O-Neale?".....the refs aren't going to get them all right. but toward the end of a game, you don't want them screwing up. or if they do screw up, they do it equally to both teams so no one is hurt. MITCHELL was fouled at the 25 SECOND MARK (over the back by OKC) when going for a rebound. OBVIOUS FOUL when you watch the video. mitchell should of been at the line shooting free throws. and that was a much more obvious foul than the one on george if you ask me. it is always risky at the end of the game to try to WIN A GAME by getting a call (drawing contact) and going to the free throw line. you in essence asking the REF to decide who wins. they may do that but only when it is a CLEAR CUT FOUL. the foul on george wasn't a clear cut foul. gobert didn't bump him very hard. and george may have even been the one that forced the contact.
That fourth foul in game 5 was the worst call in playoff history. Rudy had to sit out which lead the thunder to comeback from 25.
Tonight Westbrook literally elbowed himself in the back of the head, got a foul called but nonshooting and then was complaining to the ref that he got elbowed in the back of the head. How is this not being mentioned lmao
It always goes both ways. Adams was essentially kept out of three crucial games this series because of petty foul calls. And without Steven on the court the Thunder fold and collapse.
“They took a long time to foul” he said it like they weren’t trying
So many heroes, so little capes. You can see the Force's of all those shot no finesse just straight Chuck's damn smh.
if the offensive player leans into the defender it's an offensive foul lmao. No one remembers that rule change apparently. If this was Durant, you guys would all agree with the refs for not calling this
Jacob Jonas if it was curry they would have called it a foul
Jacob Jonas Lmao and how many times do you see that call be made on the offense? Exactly
lol you tripping that’s a fucking foul any day of week, he didn’t lean into the defender, gobert was in his cylinder of space when he took the shot and made contact with forward momentum.
Jacob Jonas they get mad about it and ya you could of called it on Gobert but honestly I think the refs knew they had givin OKC plenty of calls Jazz fans rarely get calls this one was kinda a shock im sure
Have you watched harden play before, he gets these calls all the time when he gets his defender in the air
The refs missed the call but Utah deserves to play in the second round
Danang Dwiatma only to get blown out by the rockets lmao
they also missed the OVER THE BACK foul on OKC (on mitchell) at the 25 second mark when both players were going for a rebound.
Danang Dwiatma no one deserves anything . You earn your way to the next round by winning games. They should have called the foul for PG on that 3 point shot. Period. You do not referee a game and turn into a fan and let calls go by, that’s how people get techs and flagrant because of missed calls. It’s the refs job to protect the integrity of the game and protect the players. The referee failed in that aspect late in this game
Papa John then it would’ve been even worse for okc
Danang Dwiatma no they don’t.. they’re gonna lose to the rockets
I was going for jazz this series but wow George got fouled, look at jazz coach reaction to the foul
6 offensive rebounds, missed last 6 field goals. Wow.
yea Paul got fouled on drive and the 3 before this clip, and then adams fouls mitchell and george does too but they dont call
Yung Mito If you miss 5 threes that can tie the game and miss a layup. They have no room to talk. Lol straight choke
Franky Reyes yup i agree. Straight up choke. No call for that.
Yes Paul absolutely got fouled but I don't blame the refs for the non-calls. Players always complain about refs making calls at the end of the game. Paul had the defender up in the air and had an opportunity for a clean look but he chosed to lean his body to right to make contact with the defender. He relied on the ref to make that ticky tac call. That's his fault. The refs allowed the players to decide that game. As you mentioned, OKC had several possessions there to tie the game and they didn't execute. Bottom line.
OKC went over the back (foul) on mitchell (when he was going for a rebound) at the 25 SECOND MARK. OBVIOUS FOUL when you watch the video. not like the so called foul on george that could of went either way. and the refs would of clearly saw that foul when they reviewed the video to see who the ball was last touched by before it went out of bounds. so they clearly should of given the ball to utah (not OKC) in that instance.
So so so who won 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought the ref probably could of called a foul on the last shot by george. however, after watching this video it is clear at the 25 SECOND MARK that an OKC play goes OVER THE BACK (big time) on mitchell in hopes of getting the rebound. the ball eventually went out of bounds and the ball was given to OKC after a video replay review. when they reviewed the video, they obviously would of seen the foul and should of given the ball to utah. I don't feel as bad now about OKC not getting the last foul call on paul george's shot.
Yeah that was some horseshit. Also his 5th foul was ghost foul and took him almost completely out of the 4th quarter when he was red hot. And OKC fans are gonna bitch about a No call when then had 5 fucking attempts to score and PG went 2-16 from the field with 5 total points? Fuck off.
You can't call a foul in review. You can only check to see who it went out of
I would love to hear what you think “over the back” is
They missed Paul George’s shooting fouls twice. He had another earlier and it ended only in them getting the possession back instead of 3 free throws
As a Jazz fan I was dead ass screaming at the whole team since we missed all those damn rebounds lol Dono for ROY!
You can even see the Jazz coach thought Gobert fouled George at 0:51
Who is here after westbrook（@rockets）and PG13（@clippers）got eliminated from 2020 play offs？
Both of them haven't changed since 2018.（westbrick🤣，pandemic p🤣）
No shooters
if OKC fans are feeling bad about this, mitchell was fouled at the 25 second mark (OKC player went over the back in trying to get a rebound).
Lol look at jazz coach grab his head like ooooh noo and then nothing.
People will talk about the no call with about 20 secs left, but I think the smarter play would've been taking the ball to the rim in that situation. 16 secs or so is still plenty of time to play the foul game and go from there.
Lmao dude wanted a high five and almost got beat up for it.
That was definitely a foul
if you are feeling bad about this, mitchell was fouled at the 25 second mark (OKC player went over the back in trying to get a rebound). OBIVIOUS FOUL. and the refs knew it because they had to review video to see who last touched the ball before it went out of bounds.
Braustin Austin isnt there a rule that the refs cant change their initial call when reviewing? like they cant change the out of bound call to a foul call? well i dont really know much bout that😂
It used to be a foul but the new ruling is that the shooter can't jump diagonally into the defender to create contact. Gobert jumped to the right of PG and would've cleared him clean, however PG jumped diagonally into Gobert to create contact.
Kelviaunt'e Mitchell PG jumped into Gobert. It was a good non call by the refs
Oh my hell!!! That's not a damn foul. Read the rules. It's not a foul if the shooter initiates the contact. Gobert jumps past PG like you're supposed to do. Then PG jumps latterally to create the contact. Not a foul.
Jazz fans win a round 1 series &’ think they can suddenly go for a 3 peat
Before the season Melo laughed at the idea of him coming off the bench, now people are saying he should just retire. I don’t think he needs to hang it up but starting is out of the question no matter what team he’s on.
That was definitely a foul.
Bully democrats -That Guy so wat he was gonna choke at the free throw line anyways..get ur bitch ass outta here clown.
He jumped into him and that is why it did not get called.
the foul (over the back) on mitchell by OKC at the 25 SECOND MARK was definetely a foul. mitchell should of been at the free throw line shooting 2 free throws.
boostler that sure sounds like a foul to me lmao
I’m a rockets fan, but that’s some bs!!! That was a foul, i hope the rockets destroy the Jazz
u know its rigged giving rockets the jazz team.. so houston will have an easy way to the west finals
He said rigged hahahah 😂 Bruh, OKC is just ass, aint nothing rigged my guy
luis daniel I can’t wait for Houston to destroy Utah
Utah got lucky!!! There should’ve been Game 7
I thought it was a good non-call by the refs. Paul George jumped into the defender and threw up a prayer of a shot that didn't come close to going in. I'm glad the refs didn't reward OKC with free throws on that ugly possession.
With the exception of Game 1, Utah looked like the better team in the series
Paul George is like OKC you later 😂
The Thunder, Wizards, Spurs, and who else??? Out in the first round this year 2018!
Rockets win in 5 vs the Jazz
Triple Black jazz in 6 games!! Keep hating on the jazz bro!! After its said and done you guys will respect the utah jazz i promise you that!!
Jr&Staci Rasmussen preach, brotherman. Litterally, Chris Paul is another westbrook, and Harden is PG, Capella Is Steven Adams, we have this, it's just a repeat.
Dray Mottishaw So Chris Paul shoots 39 shots and 43 shots in consecutive games?? Stfu you don't know basketball
*4 games
6 games I'm a full on rockets fan but the Jazz are really surprising me
Hero ball never wins
Look at quin snyder's reaction, even he thought that gobert fouled george
I wanted another game 7 😭
I've told y'all all along: Jazz vs. Sixers finals !!! Keep watching.
What world are you living in?
dudewat212 foh🤔🤨👎🏾. Same old song. Warriors vs Lebron= warriors in 5
that's the real rookie duel I like that. But jazz would need to play smart vs. rockets.
Pelicans >>>> jazz
dudewat212 NO WAY!!! That would be the so boring, and nobody would watch. NBA is about money!
Isn’t a foul. They changed the rule about leaning into people a couple of years ago. That’s why pacers were upset with Oladipo being called for one on Kevin Love game 3
They never even thought about giving it too Melo🤦🏽♂️
Look at the ref he raise a fist while George got fouled then he open the fingers just like a 3pt attempt. Thats crazy...
LOVE IT!!!! GO JAZZ
HUGE NOTE: I'm not a OKC hater, I'm critiquing.
If you're still wondering, this is why KD left. Russell Westbrook is not a leader and he is not a consistent shooter. 45 pts on 39 shots in gm 5 & 46 pts on 43 shots in gm 6? He doesn't play with teamwork.
Russ had more points than Donovan, but he outscored him, not outplayed him. If you don't believe me, go look up Donovan's highlights (ESPECIALLY in the 3rd qtr). Donovan shitted on him all series in his first year as he's not an all-star or in his prime yet.
Even though PG got fouled & the Jazz pulled off the expected upset, they didn't even attempt to foul anyone right after. They were just raising their hands in the air and complaining instead of playing defense and attempting to force a turnover. Utah wanted to win more and they deserved to win this series.
Just 'cause you have a bunch of star players on one team doesn't mean anything. The Thunder are not a conference-contending team and when I say no one on OKC is clutch, people think I'm joking. Either the Houston Rockets or the Golden State Warriors will make this year's NBA Finals.
Not to mention, when you compare the two teams, the Jazz play with teamwork meanwhile OKC doesn't. 3 so-called "star-players" got kicked out of the players in 6 games by a rookie-led team.
And that was the 4th Thunder player that Donovan crossed this game... (0:52)
Oh and P.S.: Andre Roberson wouldn't have made a difference.
The NBA needs to take a look into that type of foul. Refs did a good job not calling that because PG initiated contact not Rudy.
And just a thought on the whole situation, It’s kinda hard to play at your best when you got a guy that steals rebounds hogs the ball 24/7 & wants to take all the shots
I honestly don’t care if he didn’t get a foul call, they missed like 6 shots in a row it’s their own fault
OKC should come back with the same roster... It is the WARRIORS Stopper I believe... The problem is they don't play Team basketballl but just rely on their three superstars... which sucks
What non call??? PG is the biggest choke artist i know. 5pts 2/16 and in the end try to jump into Gobert, no way thats a foul.
It was a foul on George but I think that the jazz deserve to go into the next round with all the work they have done, they went from a team that people didn’t even imagine making the playoffs to an all round great team.
I sympathize so much with Russ getting angry like that with a bunch of hatin’ ass, taunting fans...... after how much he has fought....
If you can’t sympathize with a person in his shoes, you got a problem....!
Nah he's a complete fucking child. Meanwhile, Donovan Mitchell acting like a man with class already as a rookie he is more mature than Westbrook.
Severian Wintermute
nah, Mitchell played great.... simple as that..... that’s not the same as having class.....
It’s totally understandable to get fed up at mouthy ass fans sometimes.....
Don’t act like you’re above that......
I'm a Nets fan, so stand outside of this. PG pump faked and then jumped sideways into Gobert. Refs have made a point of not calling that. Fans should be mad that the Thunder had 99 chances to tie the game and didn't.

Pool Reporter Transcript
Postgame - Oklahoma City at Utah - April 27, 2018
NBA Official Ron Garretson met with pool reporter Fred Katz of the Norman Transcript after the game between the Thunder and Jazz in Utah today. Here is the transcript of that interview:
Q: Why was there not a foul called on Rudy Gobert on Paul George’s 3-point attempt with under 30 seconds to go?
Garretson: Rudy Gobert jumped to the right of Paul George. Our determination was Rudy would not have made contact with Paul had he not jumped sideways into Gobert’s legal space. We determined this to be a non-call.
So many chances and shots geez just bad luck!
He’s going to be the Wade of the Jazz
I saw this coming from the game 5. Everyone was praising Westbrook for shooting 39 times, "he took over", "he is great", "they should keep playing like that". That was the classic "im going to take contested shots all night", you give him thumbs up, what you know? this night he shoot 20 3s like he is stephen Curry, Instead of keep running plays for Adams.
PG shouldve gotten that call im sorry. if its curry he gets it every time
Carmelo Anthony did do shit in game 6 and Russell Westbrook carried the team again and again...
Look at the end of the game Russell Westbrook is a savage scared the shit out of the Utah jazz fan was trying to be funny.😬😳😡
Dang they even missed the shot after the whistle. Smh
Love seein Russ lose like that and then show who he really is, gg for jazz mitchell is something else
Despite how disappointing OKC have been in this series (excluding the 2nd half of game 5), that missed foul call on PG13 was preposterous
OK C yall next year! D Mitchell. Savage. Glad i'm not an OKC fan lol
