Maybe the single most egregiously officiated game I’ve ever seen…
Made this little compilation from last nights Thunder/Spurs game of all the calls that went OKC’s way courtesy of @Rate_the_Refs.
I’m still baffled. Each one is worse than the previous. What is the @NBA doing?
Gary Downs, Caleb Downs’ father, said he knew his son was going to be a special player when he was 6 years old. During an 8-10 game schedule he had 46 TDs. In the championship game: 313 rushing yards, 7 TDs and 15 tackles.
Gary Downs: “We would always say, ‘When you get older, it’s going to get harder.’ But as he got older, he just kept getting better and better. He plays the best against the best people.
“When he puts his mind to do something, he does it. That’s a gift. That’s a talent. If he says one day I want to be like Jerry Jones and own a team, don’t bet against him.”
“He studies the Hall of Famers because that’s where he wants to be at.”
Checking in on the NBA’s old timers…
Durant’s flirting with 10 turnovers in his first playoff game as a Rocket.
Steph’s at Coachella.
Kawhi’s planting trees.
LeBron is averaging 39 MPG & 24-8-10 to go up 2-0 without his team’s 2 leading scorers.

Kevin Porter Jr is currently playing for the Bucks.
In 2020, he was arrested after he crashed his car and police found a loaded handgun and suspected marijuana in his car.
In 2023, he was arrested in New York City on felony charges of second-degree assault and strangulation after an alleged domestic violence attack on his girlfriend (WNBA player Kysre Rae Gondrezick).
Reports described her sustaining a fractured neck vertebra, a cut above her eye requiring stitches, and her fleeing into a hotel hallway covered in blood to escape his attacks.
The NBA has no issue with Kevin Porter's behavior, but Jaden Ivey is released for holding Biblical beliefs.
I am okay with this.
Love the hometown kid but whoever is about to promise him money and the opportunity to play the 3 (and shoot the 3) is going to be sadly disappointed….
