A final look back at Thunder-Spurs Game 2, where rules didn’t apply

Soobum Im-USA TODAY Sports

This week, we’re joined by SBNation.com’s Tim Cato (who is covering this series on site) to talk about the absurd, ridiculous end to Game 2 of the Spurs-Thunder series. Topics include:

  • Seriously, what the hell happened?
  • Should referees be swallowing their whistles late in games? Have we reached a tipping point here?
  • Why don’t many players like the NBA’s Last Two Minute reports? (Note: this was recorded before the L2M report for this game came out).
  • Ah yes, there was a game we should discuss, too.
  • Why did it take so long for the Thunder to get back to their aggressive, helter-skelter style?
  • It’s easy to criticize Billy Donovan for playing a strange small lineup, but didn’t Gregg Popovich mess up more by being too conservative with Kawhi Leonard’s foul trouble?
  • What happens now that the series is tied at 1-1 heading to Oklahoma City?
