It's okay to be disappointed in Book's performance and not dust off the trade machine after he led this team to a playoff birth when they were supposed to be at the bottom of the west.
Bad series from him, but not even close to a bad season.
The world is waking up. Nobody respects this fake grifter. It doesn’t matter how much OKC inbred fans and nerdy analytic geeks cry, we simply don’t respect SGA’s game and that will never change. When he retires he will be forgotten just like Embiid.
Yes we cheat, yes the refs only call fouls for Shai and nobody else. Yes we play football on defense. Yes Dort is trying to injure your star. What are you going to do about it?
I am 100% behind Devin Booker here. Last night was not a good look for our league. Let me be clear, we didn’t lose because of officiating, but that doesn’t make last night any less important. If the referees are going to demand respect from the players - as they should - then the players should demand respect from the referees. When a referee is missing calls and clearly disrespecting the players, almost mocking them, they must be held accountable. Nobody who loves this game enjoyed watching that last night. They want to see the players compete at the highest level. The league needs be far more aggressive about this kind of thing. All players and all fans deserve it.
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
James Williams...The referee that Devin Booker called out is quite literally an OKC Thunder fan and friends with their players!!
He is the Executive Vice President, Head of Referee Operations. 😳🤯
Devin Booker:
"It's definitely something that has to be looked into…In my 11 years, I haven't called a ref out by name, but James was terrible tonight, through and through…”
