I love Denver's mindset. If DEN loses the series it is entirely due to the refs not 68 win OKC. If they win the series, they did it in spite of the Refs cheating for the smallest market in the sport. No losing there. The fact this game is getting ref discourse is crazy.

"If they want physical, Okay" .OKC has been the most physical team in the league this year, much to the complaints of 29 other teams. Denver will up the physicality too. This is the playoffs. There is no threatening physicality. It has to happen for both sides.
The whistle will change in Denver. Be patient. If they want physical, okay.

Interesting clip I missed about Chris Paul being traded to OKC, interaction with the team, just how it all went down. “I’m might not still be playing if not for that year [In OKC] because I found that joy back.”

I have no idea why coaches still try to go small-for-small against OKC. It has never worked and will never work. For any stretch of time. OKC has mastered the art of small ball, literally built for it. Somehow, each coach gets tempted into it in games like this.
