Super entertaining game though. I thought we played really well except for on the boards. OKCs offensive boards were the difference.

The optics of this were horrible for the NBA and I think they are going to hand down some big fines. Casey is laughing at the official as he is tossed as is Lowry and a player from the Thunder. Literally just disrespecting the guy completely. That particular official is a joke to begin with and deserves whatever comes his way. But the NBA methinks is gonna stomp on them. Mostly because there has been a lot of going off on the officials of late.
They hate Toronto so I bet that's who they pick on to make a statement.
This is exactly what will happen in the playoffs. You know the Eastern final will be Cavs vrs the Celtics. The refs will be instructed to make it happen.
