In the last two playoff games, the Thunder contested two fouls concerning Caruso and Edey. The first one, Caruso jumped and pulled through Edey's left shoulder on a pick. Edey was there, set the pick, and flinched after contact. You can argue that was a foul, but Caruso fouled first. Towards the end of the game, there was a tie-up between Edey and their guard. During the jump ball, the guard grabbed Edey's right arm, so Edey tipped it with his left. When tipping, he flung his right arm, and the ref called a foul against Edey. Are you kidding me?
Edey fouled out on another contested play. Edey was boxing out with his right arm, and Caruso tugged on his wrist and then pulled Edey's forearm into Caruso's body. While Caruso grabbed his arm into his body, Edey grabbed his uniform. Yes, that was a foul, but there is no way they could not see Caruso fouled first.
The only good thing was Edey got his eight block on Holmgren, and the refs made a phantom call, but the fans went nuts, so they gave the foul to someone else.
I also know that Edey made many good picks, and they could have called them, but overall, the foul disparity makes one think that this series was decided before it even started.
